Thread: South Island Trail Cameras

And Ghost has a good point about grass etc setting off the trail cam which will piss you off when going through your pics! In a beech forest, i snap off the small dead branches that sway in the breeze in view of the cam lens - from a few metres out. If looking at a clearing - within the forest, usually not a problem, grass is usually short from browsing etc. On a river clearing, you might just have to put up with some bush swaying in the wind or long grass. One funny thing that happens from time to time - had a bloody spider sit on the cam lens. Had 3 days of heaps of pics as he slowly moved across the lens then buggered off. I have been leaving my trail cams in the hills up to 6 months but usually around 3 months as always keen to see what's on the SD card. I have has chamois, pigs and red deer plus rodents of course.
