Anyone remember these bad boys? That right there represents disappointment. Set it up on a hot trail or scrape, wait a week, pull the film and run it to the drugstore to get the film developed, wait a week for it to come back and find out the only pic it captured was the deers hind quarters.

Luckily I didn't start using trail cams till about 6 years ago because I get frustrated enough with the ones nowadays

You had actual deer hindquarters on yours Posco?

Ya did better than me.

What no twig waving at you on every picture!! You lived a charmed life......jk

Lol, you guys are talking from experience.

The only bear pics I’d get were a big eyeball right up to the lense.
The ir wasn’t good enough to work on that deep black hair.

I never used them for bear, I used the trusty old TrailTimers. Remember those?

I set my first one out and was giddy to get the film processed.
36 pics of mice on a stump.

And don’t forget the click they made. You could hear it from 30ft away. That’s how we knew they were working, lol.
They’ve definitely come a long ways now.

Traveling down memory lane is a hoot.

I made several using ammo boxes and Olympus 35 mm cameras they sure are up the film

Sure! I think I still have some of those little grey box’s. Had those dam strings running all over the woods.

We had some old reconex or something like that they took D batteries total junk poor battery contacts one Deputy has cardboard stuffed in places to get them to work then it might not work when it’s set up.

I had These... no cameras

I remember seeing those at the gun shop as a kid and wondering how the heck they worked.

Oh yeah! Still got my non typical deer cam! Drove all the way to Springfield Missouri to bass pro ( the only one there was back then) to buy it at the fall hunting classic. I think I paid $280 for it, my old man said I was crazy. That thing is setting in the original box in my basement right now.

Mine all looked like i was taking underwater pics. Apparently condensation is a thing.

You could Time deer and know directionof travel

Fancy

Museum quality piece you have.

I have one with a tooth mark in it. Bear. Pretty sure I still have it. Gotta go dig around in my pile.
