Programming your leaf river cameras is very simple and it has many different options. The unit can be programmed to pause from 1 to 90 minutes between pictures, and by using the Quick Shot mode, you can capture an even quicker 2nd and 3rd picture before entering the pause time, if additional motion is detected, such as a buck following a doe down a trail.
This may sound like a task to program, but if you follow the directions it is very simple to figure out your leaf river cameras.
I think one of the great wonders of leaf river cameras is the built in 2.4 inch viewing screen. Ya, that is correct other cameras have that too, but this one comes with a unit that has other great features too. It can capture 2-3 other pictures after just taking one before it pauses for the next picture.
This one also has the infrared or just the flash, which ever you prefer. It has great trigger time, and it even comes in camoflouge color. If you ask me leaf river cameras are worth adding to your wish list!
Everybody has a wish list, especially for hunting gear. That is why it is important to set a budget for your hunting gear. I mean some things you can go cheap on, but you must remember that old saying that says, “you get what you pay for”. I’m not saying you have to go out and buy the most expensive products either.
Hunting gear consist of lots of products. That is why it is important to set a budget and stay within that price. Make a list of items you want and the prices of them and then you decide on where you can spare some money and get by with what you got and what you need. The biggest thing to remember that you have to be smart on what hunting gear you buy and where you buy it.
I had somebody come up to me and ask me which deer cameras would be best for him. That was a tough question. First of all I had to figure out his budget on how much he wanted to spend. That was the part that was the decision maker. The reason I say that is because he could go cheap and get more cameras or he could go expensive and get less quantity.
Ya, he could get more for $200, but do you want one with more features on it and later on you can add more accessories later on? I mean the cheaper ones work just fine, but what you see is what you get. But you can look at it the other way too. You can get more deer cameras and cover more area. Nobody ever said that choosing deer cameras was easy.
An important tip to remember when you are hiding leaf river cameras is that you want to do it before you start your actual hunting. Because you don’t want to screw up the pattern of your deer. Deer like pattern and if they see something different they get spooked.
So I highly recommend that you put your leaf river cameras out early enough so the deer get used to it. Because the deer will smell it and then act differently for awhile on the trail. That is the last thing you want to do is ruin a good deer trail.
Something that gets overlooked sometimes is how you position your deer cameras. What I mean by this is that you can easily not point it in the right direction and you must get a glare off the sun or totally have it pointed in the air. And what happens when it is pointing in the air? Exactly, you don’t get your object in the camera.
So that is why you should look at all angles of your deer cameras and make sure it is pointing at your trail. A good way to test it is just walk by it and see where you have to stand to make it flash. If you have to jump up in the air obviously it is too high, and if you have to wave your hand on the ground, well I guess your too low. I hope this made sense to you and I hope you will take this advice and use it to help you with positioning your deer cameras.
How many of you put up a deer camera and never once thought about putting a lock on it? Well, I’m sure a lot of you are guilty of not doing it. To tell you the truth I was guilty too! Recently I have learned that there have been some known cases of people taking your deer camera off of your tree and walking away with it.
To solve this problem all you need to do is get a thick chain and get a padlock of any sort and wrap it around the tree, and at the same time fastened to your deer camera. This should prevent most people from taking your deer camera, but if a person really wants it, they will find a way to get it. But in all reality who walks around with a bolt cutter in there pocket? I thought this would be a helpful tip for somebody that wants to take extra precautions with there deer camera.
