    I love the East Kootenay, I pitch my wall tent and leave it for a week or two. I hang cameras, and stands and they don't go missing. I know people find them, but they don't approach, and they don't touch.

    Love the respect.

    Ive got a couple garde pro A3's recently. They take pictures and video at the same time. Easy to use and I'm happy with them so far (bought them off amazon) thete are similar looking ones that are very likely the same only branded with different names.

    Perhaps the shit rats don’t go where JT goes? Just found a great little niche area. These places can be handy, but over looked. I have a few.

    Just added another 6 to the arsenal today, now I can keep eyes on 2 more places, maybe three if I find really good trees to set up on.

    All mine are stealthcam because I can afford to run a bunch and none of them have given me any problems since last May, except for an Elk one I let soak over the winter (could be fine still). Will go back up in May and see if it is still working. All of the rest are down here to monitor BT and Lion and they are all still working good.

    May upgrade to better ones in a couple of years. So far the stealthcams have been good for the price I got them for.

    I run Amazon ones and they’re fantastic. I just reach as high as I can and no bears have been able to reach them, though one tried. I had another cam angled towards that one and I caught the big boar trying to reach it but too far.
    I run homemade mounts like this https://youtu.be/QjTPa-Jtunc

    Wouldnt those mounts make them stand out more? It would be a square box suspended in mid air which should catch someones eye or do you push the back against the tree as close as you can?
