    Got my first rifle coues hunt this month. I got this buck on camera once over salt. I've set up more cameras up and down this wash hoping to get him again soon. He is in low desert, so I've got a few hills picked out to glass the ocotillo from. If I can't find him, I'll head up to some higher country where the coues bucks are a little bit more dense.

    Thanks for posting this!  It is a great hobby.  The vid. and sound quality are really good.  Just so I understand, to allow high res. capture of the subject at night, the camera is using passive IR, is that correct?  Is that easier on your battery than standard visible light?  As I understand, there is a dim red glow when using IR, some animals are more attracted to it than others, but it apparently doesn't really bother them.  These cams apparently have a photo cell which disables the nighttime IR mode, when enough visible light becomes available, is that correct?

    Good stuff right there. 

    It’s a low glow IR which I believe is the red light you’re referring to. I have a video on my YouTube channel of a mountain lion stalking my camera. I think it saw the light. I’m guessing the IR takes less battery than a bright white light. And yes the camera automatically knows when to use IR. Thanks for watching and commenting.

    Good video, good quality! Great spot. How long does each video run once triggered? What size card do you use? I just set mine for 3 shot pic mode so I don't run out of memory and check cams every few months. I'd like to do video mode.

    I like to set 20 second videos with a 1 second delay between captures in case the animal is still there doing something cool. I use a 128GB card.

    Thanks for posting and good vid.  I like the flat rock idea.

    Did you notice the temp on the camera for the vulture?  Or at least it looks like a vulture to me.

    Which GMU is this?

    The temps on this camera always read high for some reason. It is indeed a turkey vulture. 

    Sorry, but I don't give GMUs. I live in Tucson and drive all over the Southern units here. Thanks for watching.

    Howdy. Here's my latest video. I try to explain why I set things up the way I did. This was a great spot for lions and bears. Couple coues and other neat critters as well. I love doing this as much as I do hunting because it gets me outdoors away from the messiness of the "real world". Thanks for watching.

    Awesome footage, thanks for sharing.  This is why I love trail cameras.  You get to spy on nature without influencing it.  Keep em coming.

    I love running them whether I'm hunting the area or not. Jason Miller is the one that taught me how to read trails and tracks. I'm addicted now. Thanks for watching and commenting.

    As I was watching this last night, I was thinking what would potentially increase views to this good video.

    This is only a suggestion to help you to that end.  I know nothing of video editing and the like so take my suggestion with a grain of salt.  😀

    15-20 mins of just watching animals silently takes some patience unless one really likes watching this stuff.

    How about some commentary of the animals on the screen?  The name of the animal and interesting characteristics about it is a good start IMO.

    I'll best most people have no clue what a Coatimundi is or the difference between a male and female, which I saw in your video.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve toyed with a lot of ideas and I realize this video was quite a long one. I think the best formula I’ve found is a short description on how I chose the spot (a lot of new people to the outdoors appreciate those), then about 4-5 minutes of highlights. You’re right most people won’t watch all 20 minutes, but I just wanted to see what kind of views it got and I wanted to show just how incredibly crowded that spot is. The average view time right now is about 6:00 which is better than I expected considering most people won’t watch all of a 5 minute video. I get some questions in the comments I’m happy to answer. I might do commentary for special situations. For example, today I got a deer video, then a lion video 2 minutes later and you can hear the deer blowing in the distance. I am going to explain what I think went down (lion tried and failed to kill the deer). Thanks so much for watching and for the suggestion!
