Old fashioned field scan time lapse mode

[meyeri]

Put up a cam several weeks back on a field edge mock scrape and the grass in the background moves more than I thought it would. Then some coons decided to adjust my camera angle as well, so that didn't help matters. Lol 95% grass blown triggers I would say. Nothing worse than finding that your cam SD card filled up after 7 days and stopped taking pics right as the cold front moved in. Tell me I'm not the only one still making rookie mistakes! Haha

I have had a terrible run this year with issues like this. Coons mostly messing with camera angle. I'd say most of us who do this for fun in our fleeting spare time make plenty of mistakes. I do.

We all learn by trial and error at times. I made the mistake of hanging a camera on a small tree on a field edge years ago, not a good idea, windy for days and got a ton of pics of nothing.

Last cam I checked, I didn't push the card all the way in. No pics on that one

My favorite move is getting the cam set and then forgetting to turn it on!!!

Pretty sure they are in cahoots with the deer

The squirrels ate the on / off button on mine.

I get the blowing grass all the time, especially if putting the camera in CRP. I swear I need to mow at least a 100 yard radius around the camera. I put one on video mode to test it out one year...about 7 hours later the card was full! Have done the small tree thing as well. May have done the not turning the camera on thing as well. Usually if my camera angle is messed with, it is by deer or cattle.

I'm just glad the days of "rush to Walmart to get 24 pictures of blowing licking branch one houred" are over!

Or finding an old 35 mm cam full of pics and forgot to put film in.
