Yea, while I'm just curious, I was willing to try it if it would work. |
| 48 |
It could be that the camera did it but given the lack of features, I |
| 49 |
sort of doubt it. While some of my trail cameras have the format |
| 50 |
option, I don't think that one does. Anything is possible tho. It |
| 51 |
could have done it without intending to do it. I did have to do a |
| 52 |
complete reset a few days ago. It was acting a little weird. Reset |
| 53 |
seems to have fixed it. It runs off a 12 volt SLA battery and has been |
| 54 |
powered up for well over a year. It likely needed a reset anyway. lol |

I have six cameras out there. I also put out food stuff for the deer |
| 57 |
too. Range cubes, rice bran, mineral salt with other added minerals and |
| 58 |
vitamins and sometimes a old thing of lettuce or something. They come |
| 59 |
eat quite a lot especially at night. We have one deer that is only a 8 |
| 60 |
pointer but that thing is massive for this area. We guesstimate it |
| 61 |
weighs around 200 lbs. Could even be above that. A 175 lb deer is a |
| 62 |
big deer around here. Why it doesn't have a larger set of antlers, we |
| 63 |
have no idea because it should be at least a ten point if not a twelve. |
| 64 |
I guess he just doesn't have the right DNA. |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
If you find something else, let me know. I'll hang on to the card for a |
| 67 |
while. I did put a big X on it with a marker tho. |
