is it possible to remotely retrieve the pics with a Wifi SD card? Anyone try it?
I think they make cameras that send the pictures to your phone but they cost quite a bit and then think you have to sign up with a satellite company, I personally like getting out into the wilderness climbing the mountain and TRYING to read the signs in the woods , then after checking maybe 4 cameras and switching SD CARDS , bringing them home pouring a cold one and checking out the pictures on the computer, not knowing what will be there ! Then of course having a couple more drafts out of a frosty mug and of course the mountain climbing keeps me in shape and the scouting and camera checking year round is almost as much fun as archery hunting !

Love the anticipation of slipping that SD card into the laptop to check out the pictures. My wife laughs.

No..I agree...its like christmas when you see something nice.
I was only thinking about reducing the scent left by not having to climb and swap out a card. I thought Wifi Sd card could be read when you get close enough with your phone, but to be honest, I don't know enough about it.
I also mount cams high and use a portable telescoping ladder that I added backpack straps to.

I just picked up one of the MS8's.
You can mount high, runs for several months on lithiums, black flash, loop recording video with audio as well as still shots. Set up is done on a phone app and pics and video can be downloaded to your phone within a 100 ft of the cam. Full status of the cam, battery life, arm and disarm and passcode loc are done through the app as well.
There are no buttons to set on the cam itself.
I also use their cellur cams for scouting, license plate capture and property /construction site surviellance. They work excellent
 
I just finished building a few different cams with gps tracking. I had a cam stolen from a little private piece I have by a trespasser. The lithium battery in the gps can last up to 2 years and be recharged so no local power source is required. I get a text as soon as the camera moves and can track on the internet through my phone
 
How much do they run?

this would be a good mod for the camera thieves View attachment 119257
Found these set on Delaware Water Gap National Park Service Land last summer, guys on this site said they were bear traps and they were right, next day went back to check and there was a nj fish and game truck there ! We'll you should of seen the tree the cable was hooked on to, it was torn up with bear claws and the ground around the tree was torn up the dirt pretty deep, always wondered if I had stepped on the trap does it pull you tight and throw you or just cinch a little and then the bear pulling on it makes it tighter, could a person just release it themselves ? If so probably would not be a deterrent to camera thieves !
 
just dont put your cameras in obvious locations like near trails. also dont use them in oak flats or open woods. i have found 5 different cameras i could have easily stolen the last time i went scouting with no security. i pick trees that hide my camera in all directions but the direction the deer are coming. i also stick twigs and leaves inbetween the cable lock and tree to camoflauge it. had 3 drivers walk directly in front of my camera and didnt even see it.
