BTW...I checked my camera today after it being setup for about 5 days. Disappointed as I only got one spike and a few doe. Landowner said he saw a sow with two cubs....told me to be careful out there!!
I did see some fresh bear scat along the trail.
I moved the trail cam. It may have been improperly set for the place I was trying to take pics at. I'll check it in a few days.

I hadn't ordered from them before either but had heard of them, think they are in the mid-west. I just google searched for Tactacam and they came up and had them in stock so I ordered and it came pretty quickly. Good luck with the cam, let me know if you have any questions.

So.....today I got my Tactacam Reveal camera. Downloaded the app......got the camera all set up....only to determine that cell service (Verizon) where I'm at is apparently not "good enough" to work with this camera. My cell phone is Verizon and it works fine.
Well, at least Tactacam's support is very good. I entered my issue on their web site and got a call back within 45 minutes!! The fellow told me I need to get to a stronger single from Verizon.
Well.....I ain't hanging it today so I'll find out when I finally get it setup.

Dave, I had the same issue when I turned both of mine on at first. I set them aside and tried the next day and they picked up the signal just fine and have been fine since. Try to tomorrow and see if it works.

Actually I was at my kids helping the Mrs out with watching the two tiny humans. Inn Mt. Lebo I had a strong signal and it worked just fine.
I gotta say Tactacam was quick on my support issue. I entered the issue on their web site and within 45min they called back.
With the Moultrie the app didn't work on my iPhone.

Well, after a week or so of use, this Tactacam Reveal is a very nice camera. In fact, I was looking to buy one more.....but now everywhere I look it's sold out!! Must be a popular product. Even the factory web site is sold out.

And FWIW, where I have my camera set up is where I killed two nice bucks two years in a row. But this camera is showing two hunters who don't have permission to hunt the property ....both with climbers .......coming in and out of the path.
I know there's a BIG buck running that ridge. And I'm sure the trespassers know that as well.
Well, I'm going to start hunting next week so I may run into them. I'll politely ask them if they have permission, and if I get a hard time I'll just drive away and let the property owner deal with them.

Welp.....it just so happened that I had a box of 240Gr XTP's with about 90 of 'em. Just "test" loads for right now.
I loaded up 12 rounds using VV N-110. 20gr. VV is my go to powder for high end 44 mag and 357 mag loads. Fast 'n accurate. More accurate than 2400 in my revolvers anyway.

Why is your camera tilted?

Why is your camera tilted? That's a great question. I have not been back up to check my cameras since this "tilt 'n move" thing occurred. Both of the pics below are dated 11-20-20. I can only think it was a very windy night and a tree limb whacked it on that early morning. Here's the pic the cam sent at 3:15 am Here's the pic the ca sent at 4:30 am
