Not a trail cam pick but in the back yard. I knew when I built that tree house with the grandkids it was in a good spot.

As I’ve posted before, I’ve gone to external batteries and solar panels on my cell cams, but I had two 42ah batteries crap out over the last month from what I assume was excessive heat. After I already had mine set up, I heard about a company, Herd 360, that makes a solar panel system with a battery pack built in, and after pricing new 42ah batteries, I decided to try the Herd 360 solar panel/battery combo on two cameras. They weren’t cheap at $119 each, but considering the price of lithium AA’s, it’s really not that bad. I have them charging now and will report back after I get them in the woods.

Alright, yall I got the itch finally to put my cameras up. Been working so much this summer I haven't even been out to put up any stands or cams.

Going to pass on this horrible Spypoint camera too. I will only have made that mistake one time. I will be entertaining the idea of getting a new cell cam and plan. What a pain.

You looking for an ATT or Verizon camera?

I check the non cell cam behind my house, and my target buck is still hanging around and coming in several times a night for a bite. :thumb:

That joker is thick, pot belly little sway backed and the horns aren’t too bad either. You’ve got some waaayy nice bucks on both of your places.

Thanks! If I don’t get on him in October, my neighbors to the south will kill him probably on opening weekend of rifle season. It’s happened the last couple years.

My reveal Tactacam solar panels have batteries built into the solar panel. Two of them have been running all summer at the house.
Ordered a third yesterday that is a bundle of SP, cam and SD card to be delivered shortly.
The rechargeable battery pack in the cams would only last a month.
