Best shots each two months with

5 Trail Cams in Happy Jack

Updated 12/30/21

 Here is the new format for the best shots each download period (1-2 months) from the five tree mounted Trail Cams up at our cabin in Happy Jack. The trail cams are a Meidase SL122 Pro, and works both daytime (color shots) and night time (infrared). The camera had very high ratings, and has superb sensitivity to picking up the faint IR movements which trigger the camera.

For each trigger event, we have the camera set to take a 10 second video, which the stills are extracted by frame capture upon reviewing. All of these images This allows us best composition and posture of the various animals over the 10 second recording period.

The cameras are set up along known game trails on the land, and at our astronomical observatory to see what shows up when we are gone. We also found that severe weather events trigger the cams, apparenly falling snow has a moving IR signature! So there is a "Weather" section below as well.
