Mid-November rolled around and the pecking order was starting to get sorted out. We had some great conditions with loads of snow and cold temps. Daytime activity was really picking up and I got out for a few sits and brought a new to the whitetail game hunter in to one of my sites. The bully buck showed up during a solo sit. He walked in shortly after first light and hung around for an hour, doing his best to tempt me. Just too early in the season as I've consistently had mature bucks roll in around November 20th when things really pick up - bucks I haven't had on camera all season.

Hey High Country, What size SD cards do you run in your cams. I was always concerned that the movie clips would fill up a card quickly. Has this been an issue for you at all?

I switched all my Brownings to 64 as I usually get between 400-600 10 sec videos at 3 minute breaks in 2-3 days. In one setting this year, I had a card full, 1100 videos, in 60 hours. Crazy amount of action.
My Bushnell's have 32 and that gets me approx. 3.5 hours of 10 sec video. My StealthCams take great video, but only allow up to 32 and that allows only 280 videos.
My picture takers all have 16 and I rarely get a card full unless left all winter.
I am slowly switching to Brownings as they take good video and allow up to 512 card. Which works real well when I leave the cam out all winter.
And run lithiums on all the cams during the winter, they are worth the expense.
I will get some updates going on here as well. Lots of interesting bucks this year!
Cheers

Awesome info SS! My camera settings depend on the type of set up but for whitetails I'm typically running 20 second videos on 5 minute delay. I'd like to run a quicker delay but it's a balance between longer videos. I agree with you on the lithiums, absolutely worth the investment. Canadian Tire usually has 12 on for $17.99 or you can get them even cheaper at Costco and online.
I know we are all looking forward to your updates! Thanks for helping keep this thread alive.

Great vids HighCountry, thanks for posting....
Wish I had more T cam pics to share but I don't unfortunately run very many cams and haven't had much time to use them this year, but I do have this to share from today:

See the buck in the photo?
Sorry for the poor image quality...while still-hunting I passed on this basket 4x4 today, in the hopes, partially inspired by this thread, that I can shoot a bigger one...lol only a couple days of rifle season left for me, then bow anything goes...he came within 25 yards of me today, and there are fresh scapes everywhere...the bucks were not coming into rattling today however, maybe due to a lower buck:doe ratio in the area??
