I don't own one but i heard they work good as a security camera on your jobsite. Maybe you can at least get a license plate or a description of someone ripping off your jobsite.Also they are a great way to keep track of when your employees show up for work if you can't be there first thing in the morning!:pQuote:

I use 2GB cards on all my cameras, and they are over salt licks, and other high activity places, and it still takes longer than 2 months to fill the card. A 2GB card on your highest setting should be good for at least 2,000 pictures.Quote:

Yeah, not worried about it getting stolen and think it is infared? The only way I see it useful is if I get a elk tag so it can get me a idea of game. I know exactly where the deer and pronghorn are when I hunt.

I have an idea of the game that's in my area. Getting a tag is another story...Quote:

I find using a camera to be a lot of fun, almost as fun as hunting, just to see what you can get on it. It's awesome to look at thousands of pics then all of a sudden a huge buck shows up in one of them that you have never seen. I also use them to keep tabs on who is entering the property. Neighbor told me once he didn't coon hunt during deer gun season, which is illegal to boot, so I told him he looked good with his black and tans on my video camera. Someday one of us will get a pic of Bigfoot. lol Keep it.
I think they can be very valuable. I've attached a link to the trail cam set-up I use. It's a Bushnell Trophy Cam only carrying half a payload of Lithium AA batteries. Leaves me enough room to squeeze in 2 mini-bungees to the rest of the battery compartment. Can serve as an extra pair of eyes if I have a couple different watering holes or wallows to watch. I sit at one, camera watches the other.
Oh, forgot to mention that the entire set-up weighs under 11 ounces. In early season, it still lets me stay lightweight.
Not sure what you have? Hunting buddy and I have Bushnell Trophy Cams and a couple Cuddbacks. The Bushnells will last 6 months or better. I'd say in the mountains you'd have a pretty slim chance of getting it stolen. Here in IA you gotta be kind of sneaky where you put it but that said, we've only had 1 stolen in 5 yrs and we've had out 7 of them most of the timeQuote:

At least then you would have an idea what you are dealing with if you haven't been able to get out scouting, or don't know the area as well.
