Infared Game Camera Video of Coyote

Deer Tracking Cameras — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 01:57:05 +0000

Here is another Scoutguard SG550 digital trail camera video. This video was shot in infared mode at night. I have this SG550 in the woods behind my home. This coyote made a brief appearance in front of my game camera.

My wife was really pleased (insert your own sarcastic tone here) when I showed her this video. She is afraid that this coyote will end up eating our new puppy. If I was this coyote, I'd be less concerned about eating the puppy, and more concerned about walking under my treestand during the upcoming bow season.

Enjoy!

Scoutguard SG550 Video of Doe and Fawn

I have my game cameras back in the field and just pulled the memory cards today. I got some great videos which I will start posting. This video comes from a small wood lot behind my home in Kentucky. There are tons of deer in the vicinity, and I have a lot of movement in the area.

The video below is of a doe with a little bitty fawn. This video was picked up on July 7, in the afternoon. It was a really hot day, but the deer are still moving.

The doe moves through the woods very cautiously, and you can see her sampling the air with her nose as she moves. The little fawn still has its spots.

This video came off of my Scoutguard SG550. I love this little camera, and when I say little, I mean little in size. It is no bigger than your hand. The daytime videos are a little choppy, but the infared quality of this camera at night is what I really love. It has great range.

Hope you enjoy this video. Thanks

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.

I picked up the following image of deer and raccoons feasting together on some of the corn I has spread in the vicinity of my game camera. I have a ton of raccoons in my area. I've captured videos of up to 10 raccoons on screen at one time. I love watching the deer interact with other animals. Most of the time, they seem to tolerate the raccoons. But on several occasions, I have seen the deer rear up on them, or stomp at them.

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.

March 15th and Some Bucks Still Have Their Racks

Deer Tracking Cameras — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 21:54:28 +0000

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?

Coyote Video on Scoutguard SG550

Here is a video that I captured a few days ago with my Scoutguard SG550. It is of two coyotes. The first passes out of the field of view right at the beginning of the video. My wife was a little disturbed to see these coyotes as the video was captured about 60 yards from my back porch. The coyote population is on the rise.

Scoutguard SG550 – What it Lacks

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.

Here is another nice video taken with a Scoutguard SG550 digital game camera. This is shot in infared mode, and gives you an idea of the infared quality from the SG550. Enjoy!
