As a new hog hunter, what trail camera do you think I should get?
I have a Moultrie I65 with the option to put a phone on it. Good camera but bad battery life. IR flash, but slow trigger speed. 16GB SDcard fits and is great, but the batteries don't last that long. I would like to view remotely, to know whats going on in advance of the hunt. What sayeth the hive? Thanks in advance. |

If you can see the source of the IR light so will the pigs...it will run off the big ones. I'm trying the new bushnell black out...I can't see the source when the IR flashes and it takes good pics. ^^^^^^^^+1 I use old school Moutrie I-40's and this has been my experience too. DeHog let me know how the Black Out works for you. Trigger speed on the Moultries is dismal too...though I get good pics and decent battery life. |

I would have thought more pig people would be using the cameras. I got 1900 some odd pics at a feeder. Lots of turkey and several big bucks, horns not off yet, that no one saw during deer season. whin do the racks start falling off? seen several deer at WMA couple days ago.. |

With the visible IR if one hog see's the red glow of it source and spooks..they all run off. I didn't realize it untill I was watching a feeder with a feeder light with the gain turned down on the pvs-14. I've watched with thermal at the same feeder and when one hog entered and then spooked the others standing close in some brush ran off to. I wouldn't of seen the other hogs with a pvs-14. My one black out is in murchison and the land owner checks it for me but the few pics I checked were real good and as far as I can tell with ok trigger speed. There is a jack you can buy from radio shack to build a external 6 volt battery supply hook up, the instructions give you the part number for it. These type game cams should be the only considered. |

I run my cameras on video mode and you can the reaction that "some" hogs (and deer) have to it, but hogs worse than deer. Also, I hunt from a stand over bait sites quite a bit and I can see the emitters when they light up and when/if the animals react.
Older boars seem the most prone to react, they leave pretty much immediately and don't come back. Of course, what they are seeing is not the invisible spectrum of IR....but the "near IR", either way...the result is the same. It's.... vámonos paya!!!!!!!!! |

The pictures I got of big hogs only had one frame of the big ones. If only small ones, then multiple pictures. Would mounting the camera high and looking down help? As it is right now it is about hog eye level. |
