I just sold my long range Savage rifle along with the very nice Leupold VX-3 7.5-25X 50MM scope. So...I have a little fun money in the coffers. I'm placing an order for a third Reveal today.
I have another spot on the place I hunt that I want to see what's goin on over there!

Do any of you leave these up all year long? How long do the batteries last? Are they legal during the hunting seasons?

Do any of you leave these up all year long? How long do the batteries last? Are they legal during the hunting seasons? Batteries last a full season...at least mine have. I think it's 12 AA batteries each one takes. I put mine up in July and remove them about mid-january. You can keep them up during the season.....you just cannot "use them" for hunting\game location during the season. So, for example if you get a phone notification and see it's that 27 point triple drop tine that is just over the hill from you .....and you get outta your stand....stalk it...kill it....you have just violated the game laws. You used an electronic device to hunt for game. But if you just leave it up and not use it for "hunting and locating" game....you're good. At least that's my understanding. Don't rely on my humble opinion though. You can always call the Game Commission and ask them.

You can also just pay for the months you use them. No yearly contract type thing

I left most of mine up year round this past year, change batteries 2-3 times per year depending on how many pics are taken. I use the annual contracts but did suspend one last year so I didn't pay when not using it.

I'll probably discontinue the service in late December. I'm cheap. 😂

I ordered #3 last evening. Should be here in a few days. Got it from Cabela's as if there are any issues with it, the big "C" will take it back. I was sitting in my hunting spot last evening, all cammo-ed up with a coyote call and rifle in hand. Nothing came through and I thing it was the farmer across the valley ....he was cutting hay and just being a farmer. Most times farm equipment doesn't seem to bother wildlife....but since I saw only butterflies I'll blame that. But this morning at 7:35 I get this pic on my phone....of 2 coyotes playfully running 30 yds from where I was sitting last night!!

Here is what I'm finding, I'm getting pics within a minute of them being taken. I'm more noticing the times of pics and patterns of the deer.
Before, I'd pull a card and zip thru it, looking for bucks. Now I'm just noticing the patterns. Kinda cool

I got my 3rd Tactacam today. Set it up fairly quickly. It's different than my other ones. This one has no LED screen and it's the app to access it. OTOH....I got this pic on my phone. I'm not sure if the buck was turning his head when the pic was taken.....or if he's a big rack buck....or a big half-rack buck. Any thoughts? I will get the pic taken just prior to this one when I pull the card to see what else is on there.....not for a few more days.

The other day I signed up one camera for HD pics. Because I'm 200 miles away and can't get there often, it helps to see things clearer

Cost more per month?? $5 for 50 pics. Hold down on the pic in the app and you will get an HD button on the bottom right and you can select HD pic or video depending on what you are doing. As Dutch said, the HD are way clearer.

I'd have to check my charges but everything says $5/50 pics on their site. It's only money....

Well…I dunno how to do this. I hold the pic & nothing happens. I’ve looked at my cameras I bought last year….I think last year…to see what version I have. I can’t find that. I’ll need to do more research.
