Mounted high up a tree in the middle of my river bottoms hunting area I have one of the trail cams which emails each picture.

A typical image I was getting last week:

It takes a substantial flood to put this area under water. But starting last Sunday the water crept in.

Slowly rising as this coyote ambles past.

By Tuesday it's filling up. Any turkeys are now long gone.

Once the water gets high, we get very few pictures since there's nothing warm-blooded to trigger the camera.

But today, these critters swam past showing the water is now 8+ feet deep, and still rising. Definitely SOL for any turkey hunting in this area next week!

Somebody around you is going to have some great hunting.

Great sequence...not so great for your hunting activities. I need to get one of those cams.

powder- This camera is a "Covert Special Ops Code Black". A 9.99/mo cell phone account from AT&T allows up to 1000 messages per month. So far that's plenty for where it's located. Using the lowest possible resolution, it'll probably go most of a year without swapping out the 8-gB card.

Stick, and the camera cost is? I looked it up and this is the way to go. Where did you get yours?

Delaney, the wife bought me this one as a gift. From the local archery shop for around 299.00 I believe.

Sweet pics! I use the LTL Acorn cam that sends images to my email. Great pieces of technology (when your hunting land has cell service).
