I got a new live trap...Update: new cam

[joebryant]

FYI, Just so you'll know, I did not take your trap.
I'm leaving in a couple of minutes to go buy one.

Douse the next one with Super Glue and see what sticks ! Or put a note on it to let the stealers know they are being watched and you know who they are !

When I turn mine on it reminds me to delete internal memory if I'm using a SD card--mine came with a 1 GB SD card but I've replaced it with a 2GB card.

Tonight I swapped the Moultrie one for a Brushnell one -- for an upgrade price of about $50 but I ALREADY LIKE THIS ONE BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!! The insturctions are better, the buttons and functions are easier to use, it will format a SD card to it's own preferences (if you tell it to that is) and it came with it's own USB cable, AND Picasa recognizes it as a camera and uploads the pics to my folder without me having to do any finaggling.

Test pic in my living room (obviously I'm a bit close to the cam)

I'm surprised actually.

I really dunno if any theives will come back unless I leave some shiney new toy out in sight.....but I fully expected to see a deer, raccoon or possum stealing the free range feed. The first night all I saw was a truck drive by at 3:47am, and the second night nothin happened between me leaving around 11:30 and the roos crowing at 6:44 LOL

and this came out as a rather interesting pic of my brown Leghorn roo:

No other pix showed who he might have been bluffing

If its a two legged predator, try a little electricity through that metal trap.

I had thought of that, but I'd need a REALLY long extension cord. All of the electricity on the property is on the OTHER side of the 3 acres.....LOL

Did I mention there is no running water? I have to carry them water every day and it sucks. I have a blue plastic barrel though, that I'm building into a water tote system that I will just leave in the truck so won't have to pick up anything, but I had to order some caps for the barrel - they were cheap but I'm just waiting on them to arrive.

those are nice pics from the new camera! clearer than I thought game cam pics would be.

Do you mind sharing the brand name and model number?

Which model? I need another excuse to spend money I shouldn't be spending.
