Check out this video of a nice buck captured on a Scoutguard SG550. I love these little cameras. And I mean little. They practically fit in the palm of your hand. Enjoy!
I love my Scoutguard SG550 but there are a couple of times each day where it seems confused as to whether or not it should be shooting on infared mode or without infared. These times are a bit after sunrise, and right around sunset. What I have been ending up with are pictures that look like Negative exposures. Here is an example below. Anyone else seen this issue? I was going to contact Scoutguard to see if they have any recommendations.
Scoutguard SG550 Pictures
I pulled the memory card from my Scoutguard SG550 this evening. I was surprised to see this nice buck pictured in the video below. This buck passed in front of my Scoutguard SG550 this morning. This makes the second buck I've seen in the last week that still hasn't dropped its rack yet. I'm happy to see that this buck made it through the late bow season. He should be a pretty respectable buck when the bow season opens this fall. I would think he should be dropping his rack any day now. Looks like I'll be doing some shed hunting this weekend. I'd love to find this set. Click the link below to download and view the video.
Here is some video I picked up last week of a few jakes scratching. I picked this video up in the woods right behind my house. I was happy to see this, because these are the first turkeys I have seen behind the house.

While checking my Scoutguard SG550 this week, I was surprised to see this little buck still had its rack. In my neck of the woods, they have typically all dropped by now. Maybe this little guy is just a slow starter. Or, this may explain why I have come up empty handed each time I've gone out shed hunting this year. Maybe I'll try again this weekend.
How about you? Are you still seeing bucks with their racks, or have you found any sheds yet?

Scoutguard SG550
Don't get me wrong. I love my ScoutGuard SG550. It has a great compact design. The battery life and trigger speed are good. The image quality is nice. I could go on and on about it.
But there is one feature that I wish it had, and that is an external LCD. I have my SG550 in the woods right behind my house currently. I'm always out taking walks in the woods, and never know if it is worth pulling that memory card out to check the images or not. I pulled it the other day and only had a few pictures on it. I would have been better off saving my time and just leaving it in there for a few more days.
I guess that HCO had to make some sacrifices to keep this camera so small. The remote control is easy to use and can be quickly connected to check the camera status. The only problem is that you have to have it on you when you check your cam.
If that is the only complaint or drawback that I can identify with the Scoutguard SG550, then that says a lot for it. The SG550 might be small, but it is packed full of features.
