Up Close with Turkeys

We have been able to capture some good photos of turkeys on one of the trails during the day with the Moultrie M-880 game camera.  Since this photo was taken during the day it is in color.  Note the information that is written at the bottom of the photo: date, time, temperature, and name of the camera.  When using several cameras in the field it is a good idea to name each one separately which helps with pinpointing the location of the individual photo.  Having this information written on the photos is optional.

What is Better than 1 Game Camera?

If 1 game camera on the property is good then we are thinking that 3 game cameras  might be even better.  So we are planning on putting out 2 more cameras in areas where we have noticed traffic along the trails. Digital cameras are reasonably priced, the batteries last for several months, and it is easy to replace the SD card with another one so that the card with photos can be studied, either with a card reader in the field or a tablet or computer back at camp.

We are using the M-880 camera by Moultrie.  The daytime photos are in color and have good resolution.  The nighttime photos are shot with a new technology for game cameras that produces clear photos in black and white while using a "low-glow" infrared flash that is less disturbing to animals than an incandescent flash.
