Default digital game camera

Got one for a birthday present and put it in my back yard to see what wanders through in the night.

So far I have 5 pictures of the neighbors cat, a possum and a couple falling grapefruit.



I was hoping for the skunk ape.

Very exciting. Why don't you go out there and run around in the altogether or something. Spice up the video.

we would have gotten a whole bunch of deer last night.
My wife said she had a half dozen outside of her art room while I was snow blowing.
It was right around dusk so the lighting didn't allow for photography.

They must have been really hungry as they were just on the other side of the windows and the lights were on.

But what else was the couple doing? What did the pictures show? I think there is a name for people who secretly take pictures of unsuspecting couples, but I can't think of it right now.

Kyras

it's a weatherproof cammoflaged camera/video. You stick it on a tree or something and use a laser to center it at whatever you to watch.

Then you turn it on and if anything comes by, it takes it's picture or makes a short movie. It has full night vision and sound.

Then you either plug into your tv or computer and check out what it saw.
It stores pics on an SD so all you need to get is the sd disk out and you can leave it up on the trail

Kind of a cool toy.

^Sounds really neat. What's a skunk ape? A joke animal?
