Thank you. One of the best channels
Dave, that was a very useful video. I have had some of those issues. I knew about the east to west direction was a no no. One thing I have done with cameras that don't have a view screen was to take my cellphone and use its camera to see which way my camera was pointing and take a picture with my phone. I know that is the best method, but I have done that. Thanks for sharing these tips. Juddie
Great tips Dave! I learned these when I was a part of the DNR's Snap Shot program. We would send photos in after 3 months, we would identify the animals and send them in. I think the biggest one I remember was to carry a 3ft piece of string or rope because, well, deer aren't as tall as people make them out to be! 😂😂
Great advice, another thing is to try to mount the camera to a tree that's at least 4 inches in diameter, they don't tend to sway in the wind as much and a bigger diameter tree allows the camera to blend in better instead of sticking out like a sore thumb 👍
Good stuff. Definitely 3 rules to give you better quality pictures. Thanks for sharing.
Great video Dave, and thanks for sharing some valuable information. I now use the same SD card for each camera, by numbering the camera and SD card to match. Since doing that I've had no card issues.
Great information and well demonstrated. Awesome examples and explanations. Perfect for a trail camera novice like me. I've made many of those mistakes. Hopefully, I can get it set up right near my camps to capture any animals wandering in the night. Have a wonderful day.

Very well done. Great advice and perspective.
Thanks for sharing Dave!!! Great tips for sure. 👍🏻
Your video has brought tears of joy to my eyes. So touching and emotional!
Great tips Dave! I need to implement some of these!
These are some great tips. Thanks for sharing them. I know that you are sharing this from a TON of experience.
Great tips Dave I follow every one of them especially when facing i always have it north/south. Thanks for sharing
Hi Dave, glad to see you doing well. Great tips!
Great tips Dave!! 👍
Great tips, Dave.
Good tips Dave. #2 is a big one I had to learn by making that mistake.
Great tips Dave! I think I have done all three “don’t do” at one time or another! Great info to keep in mind!
Great tips! 👌
some great information my friend
Great tips, I learned some important information from your video 👍🏻❤️
Great tips, as they are usually overlooked. The one extra tip that comes to mind, that I saw you used but didn't comment on, is to use a piece of paracord or steel cable to hang your camera instead of the strap. The horizontal 1-2" strap stands out visibly to animals and humans.
They`re great for bird pictures at feeding sites. I use an old trampoline and dryer left on this lot and put the seeds under two feet away. You can later crop the pictures to zoom in on the birds. Some cheaper cameras (driveway alarms too) will leak so I seal mine with pipe tape and duct tape. If I have trail cameras set up in my area driveway alarms can alert me to activity if bait is left. Some have ranges up to a mile. These are great for fruit tree and vegetable garden security too if pests are stealing the crops.
The first two I definitely had to learn the hard way, especially before cell cameras. The other camera looks perfect only to get in front and realize that it's to far to the left or right. In my case, almost all my cameras are hung high so it's even more important to make sure it's how you want it. Less room for play. Great tips.
I didn't know that. Just turn it on and go. I should do this now
Great tips! I have one camera that gets that flare effect from the morning sun(it faces SE but more E)but I like the spot. I may get a camera stand and try a nearby spot to improve those morning clips. I love finding new sites. I try to go back to the cam at a new site the next day or at least within the first week or so for initial checks but doesn’t always happen. Then in between checks spiders build webs and weeds grow lol! Take care Dave, Char 😊
The most important tip is to mount your trail camera at least 15 feet up in the tree. It will still get stolen but make the thief work hard at stealing it.

Hi. I had bought a cell camera and was on private property hunting for the first time so i set my other camera facing my locked cell camera and i got a video showing me the camera turning-called owner to see if anyone was on the property-no why? Told them and i drove out to check-good 35 minute drive or so to find that someone took the card out of the camera facing the cell camera! Afraid they were going to come back and take my new cell and the other i removed them both! I really enjoyed getting photos on my phone! I shot my personal best with my good friend during bow season! Thank you and wanted to share was all. Not sure why people do what they do at times! Have a good night
How's she goin'? Some great tips here Dave. I never thought of the camera angle vs the subject, but I can see how this would mess up some potentially great shots!! Thanks. Take 'er easy!!
I use the Spyhigh mounting system, it has a laser pointer aiming devise to pin point where the sensors are seeing. This system also allows you to mount high and at almost all angles.
Awesome tips! My biggest issue has been not remembering to turn the camera on after being in set up mode. Too many times I've come back to dead batteries and the camera was still set to set up mode.
Good video Dave. I got 1 make sure you’re sd card is NOT locked 😂 that got me a few weeks ago 😂
I use my phone and put it on selfie mode by putting it in front of camera ( touching the camera) then take a picture
Great tips for the people who don’t know how to run then my friend
The old school cameras that took film was my training tool😂😂😂
Good ideas... I stand on the back of my 4wheeler to mount my cameras. I angle them down and try to hit cross trails. I feel angling them down I get less false triggers.
WhT do you suggest for places without a tree
I wish I could say I never made any of those mistakes😏. See you on the next one.
I would love to see your review of the Stealthcam Revolver. I see you have some shots from it here in this video.

@@SavageMcBeastdog I’m working on the Revolver review. It’ll be a few weeks yet….
I am always walking in front of my cameras and readjusting them.
When you opened you cams door and take the video, then you closed it, you wouldn't have the same view. But good advice thanks.
