Here is a YourTube link to my trail camera video that was recorded in October, 2017. This was at Sun City in South Carolina. Featured on this edition are many deer, raccoons, possum, bunnies, and several coyotes. I was using a Browning trail camera near a golf cart trail. Hope you enjoy it.

I did enjoy it. I loved all of it, but especially the older fawn feeding, the lovely coyotes, and just the antics of all the animals. Thanks for sharing it with us. Cheers.

These are so much better than my now dead Wildgame camera. I am going to follow your recommendation and get the Browning. Enjoyed your editing.

That was fun to watch, Bill. Thanks for posting. Makes me wonder about the trails I walk on. What is watching me?!

Yes CSand, that is part of why I got mine. I knew there were animals on or near the golf cart trails and I wanted to see what was out there.

It's interesting to see all the variety of wildlife we would normally never see. Does your Browning make noise when it's shooting? some of the wildlife seem to sense its there.

I don't think so, at least I can not hear it. The animals might. More likely is at night there is a faint red glow from the IR lights. Not enough to draw attention to it but if I look at it you can see the glow. That is probably what spooks them. I have noticed deer and raccoons looking at the camera. they can probably see it better than I can.

These are amazing for a trail camera.
I just finished returning a Wildgame Mirage 16 camera for a refund. The camera missed several shots that it should have picked up on. The batteries also went dead after 2 usages. I bought 8 brand new batteries and managed to get less than 20 stills when the new batteries went dead. Something was seriously wrong with that cam.
Your videos are much better/clearer than the ones I managed to get. They also have much less noise. Yours look almost as if they have had noise reduction applied.
What was your Browning model?

This was fun to watch. I have two cameras set up in different parts of the forest and regularly swap out the SD cards. Recently I got some incredible videos of a bear playing with the camera, including some of the inside of his mouth as he chewed on it, doing some damage but not as much as he might have. He also enjoyed chewing on the strap at close range with a dreamy look in his eyes. Twice I have had a mountain lion wander past. Since these are the same areas in which I hike I have gained a great appreciation and respect for the others who share the landscape with me. When it comes to animals sensing the camera is there, I think many of them do. After all, it is their territory, and they have to be on the lookout for changes. Foxes will always stare at the camera, and bears will confront it. I've had birds and squirrels stare at my cameras from a few inches away.

Cameranut, I have the Browning 5HDP. This is what TrailCamPro.com says about it.: Browning Strike Force HD PRO Review Browning Strike Force Pro - This new Strike Force Pro sub-micro trailcam has completely blown away any reasonable expectation we had for this new model. We have no reservations about recommending this as a wildlife camera for virtually any camera trap setup. - TCP Staff Model # BTC-5HDP

With this said, I do use the Energizer Ultimate batteries in it. It takes 6 size AA.
