Got my first deer off the new camera setup

[TractorGuy]

This was captured with the Reolink RLC-411WS cameras I have been working with. Little bugger walked right in front of the camera and posed.

Nice buck. Give him a few years and he could be a prize! I am always amazed at the camera hogs in my neck of the woods! Had a bear take a nap in front of one of my cameras! He slept for 20 minutes and got up and lumbered on.

How did you pick the camera placement?

Look for a well used trail or fence/creek crossing. Bait works great but know the laws about hunting over bait. There's no law against lureing with bait to take pictures but most places forbid killing within a certain distance.

Had this guy on my camera before the gun season.He must still be in hiding.

This one was dumb luck. After a week of no traffic where I saw tracks and placed a mineral Bock I moved the cameras to the middle of the front yard about 50 ft from the house.

That is a very handsome buck indeed!

I have 1 set of large tracks on my property but I have yet to capture a picture of it.

Before you know it you'll have 2 maybe 3 cams,and the photos will be surprising/interesting at times. :thumbsup:

JD855guy; That is a fantastic picture! Nice and clear! Oh, nice looking deer, too. Give him a couple of years and you will get some nice meat off him too. Invest in some rotten apples, crab apples and cracked corn and he will keep coming around. A salt lick wouldn't hurt either.

Super nice buck, coobie; standing proud and posing for you. He needs to live and procreate.

I was thinking the same thing... is a "normal" photo from that camera or was it exceptionally clear???

YOU are so correct. That remind's me of a picture in a small town café with a note offering $100 to anyone identifying and telling where the man in picture could be found. It was a picture of a tresspasser taking a leak a few feet from a hunting blind.

I have five "game cameras";interesting pursuit for sure.Had not heard of Reolink found they are hard wired security cameras.Not my cup of tea;but nice picture.

It was a clear evening. This is a capture from a short video. It is easier to get a clear picture from a video than from a still shot as they are often moving when the camera senses motion and snaps the shot. In this case the deer walked out in front of the camera and stopped to pose after he investigated. These have visible glowing red infra red lamps so apparently that does not deter them from having their picture taken.

This is the video the still was taken from.

Here is my original assessment on the cameras.
