Deer hunting BS thread

Hanging cams today, one of my coverts had a leaking duracell in it, I pulled out the duracells and brought the covert home and cleaned it with vinegar....
Time will tell if it was saved or trashed.

 

Ive had bad luck with duracell. I havent had any problem with energizer lithiums

 

No big bucks so far. Does and small bucks. And then this guy.









And these guys

 

I have also had bad luck with Duracell in my cams, Trying energizer this year.

 

use the lithiums, little more expensive but they last a lot longer.

 

Very true

 

i wont use duracell for game camera ever, ive had 2 or 3 batteries explode in them and it messes up the camera eventually.

 

I know almost nothing about batteries, but will use the lithiums this year and see if it helps. Thanks!

 

I am also going to try running at least one camera on the big external batteries and compare that to the disposable kind.

 

Well some nice ones showin up but you know how that goes once season starts.

 

weird, I figured as dry as it is if I pooled up a tub the animals would like it to drink out of. But apparently they arent too fond of it. Theres little to no pics near it. They seem to go around by it but not drink out of it... which is weird.

 

Dump some table salt around it, they'll show up. (If legal)

 

yeah might throw some apples there just so they know its not going to attack them...LOL theres a couple night pics that looks like they are getting close or drinking from it but the the flash might be scaring them also. and my other camera is fizzling out and not taking pics...

 

the tub is right in the middle by the black bar, between the date and time stamp. They obviously see it...and water is running so they hear it.

 

Maybe they just need to get use to it? She looks nervous.

 

yeah she does, theres one with a fawn that comes in and of course the fawn I think has drank out of it at night. I cant really see because the flash washes out everything when it goes off. i may need to turn it slightly. also I think the flash is making them nervous also...

 

anyone got a suggestion on a good pair of hunting pants that dont break the bank.

 

I just buy the cheap walmart camo pants... around $20 cheaper if they are on sale...

 

I usually get pants at an Army surplus. They last forever and don't fade too bad.
