Predator Trail Camera

If you ask me what I could not be without this season, I would have to say I absolutely could not be without my Predator trail cams. These cameras (I have one Xtinction and one Evolution XR) get big thumbs up from me. We have been tracking our split-tine buck and his movements and these cameras have been invaluable. They are so easy to use and to program.

They take 10 AA batteries and I can change them out with rechargeable batteries that I have ready to go, right in the field. Predator says the batteries will last up to 6 wks.  I tried the nicad throw away batteries and got close to 4 weeks out of those. I am finding that I get about 4 days out of the rechargeable batteries I bought. I think a better quality rechargeables would work better.

It is a “True” IR trailcam meaning it never flashes in the faces of the deer and there is no glowing light, yet it provides quality pictures and videos every time even at night.

I love being able to view the pictures or videos on 3.5” color touch screen display out in the field with the ability to pan or zoom in to get a better look . I know right away what has been there, or not been there.

I just lock the pictures or videos I want, delete the ones I don’t want with one push of a button and upload my locked ones onto the flash drive.  I trade-out flash drives and head home. The trail cam never has to come down from where I have it placed eliminating unnecessary trips into the woods. With a two-year old, the less trips the better!

 

The only trouble I have with these cameras is it is a little hard to get the locking device opened when I want to check them. That probably means neither can the bears.  I can usually get it open but it takes some real effort on my part. My hubby on the other hand has no problem opening it. I guess I am just a wimp!
