Cheap Trail Camera
by Brandon Lehmer
Just the grass I bought a Bushnell Trail Scout 2.1 last fall during the deer season from Academy for $34.99. I thought it was a heck of a deal for the camera. So I used it throughout the rest of the deer season and learned it really took pictures of anything that moved and I mean ANYTHING! I put it out for the first time in a new area we were scouting. Came to check it two or three days later and 906 pictures. Of course that got me all excited thinking that I had picked a good spot only to get home and see 905 pictures of grass and one coon. So I took it down. Then tried it about a week ago on 17th of June. Went out there tonight (June 23) and it said 3464. So once again I got all fired up but in the back of my mind I thought it was just gonna be grass. Well it turns out 90% was just grass the other 10% was 2 coons that stayed at my feeder lastnight for 8 hours! And also a possum. Just figured I would post to let everyone know cheap is not always good! Although I did buy a 35mm Trail Camera from Academy for $39.99 and it takes great pictures, not one of just grass!
