What to do with old Trail Cams

Post by jody5252 »

Old Trail Cameras. (SD Card Trail Cams) What to do with them?? Is there anyone that repairs/refurbishes Cams? Just hate to see $100 Cam end up in the junk box, when all it may need is a minor repair or replacement part.

Most have some kind of reset. Google them. Worth a try.

What make and model of trail cam? Some of them have updates you can download to help. Some not so much... :problem:

if its not worth fixing then use it as bait for camera thieves to get pics of them in the act with a working but well hidden camera

My old Moultrie is still going strong. Even after a bear took a bite in to the sensor window! Lol
A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.
