Game-Trail Cameras
- Thread starter Art Eatman
- Start date
I have more than 12 game cameras...
... and have learned the following lessons:
1) Game Cams EAT batteries, especially AA's and C's. If it won't take an external 6 or 12V battery... Don't buy it.
2) Megapixels ain't very important. You are not being graded on the quantity of the pixels but the quality of the content of the pic..
3) Any game cam can be stolen. Depends on how bad the thief wants it. I lost one when somebody with a chain saw felled the 3' in diameter oak it was chained to.

Art,
Did you ever get a game trail camera?
I'm having a problem at my house. Seems about once a year some no-god, dirty loewdown, quiver-lipped, spotty-livered commi, pinko, neutered Bolshevik, psycho varmint destroys my American Flag! Pulls it right off the pole mounted on the porch, 10 -12 feet off the ground. I find what appear to be claw marks, 3/4 inches apart and 7 -10 inches long and evidence of biting or pecking at the material around the grommets.
I'm thinking hawk, but haven't ruled out a psycho squirrel. Problem is a game camera will take shots when the flag waves.
Other than quitting work to stake this thing out for a year (yeah.... I'm close to doing that
), how can I catch it?

just a heads up,but unless the flag has a light on it at night you are not suposed to fly it. Also,if it is not weather proof you are not supposed to fly in the rain/inclement weather.
so get a light for it if you have it flying at night and yes the motion from the flag would set off the game came.

I am aware of flag etiquette, but thanks; there are many who are not.
BTW: the damage is happening in daylight hours.

Haven't slowed down to actually go to a sales outlet. Too much other trivial stuff has been in the way.

Understood.
Meanwhile, I gave yet another beat up flag to one of the guys who work for me. He's heavily involved with the Boy Scouts and they occasionally conduct dignified flag disposal ceremonies.
I'll order a new one... with little hope of catching the terrorist that keeps destroying them.
