I put my new TactaCam Reveal cell camera just on the other side of my backyard fence. I’ve had a single doe, a doe with one fawn and a doe with two fawns licking the dirt around a stump I had a salt block on. The single doe was hitting it several times a day. I got lots of pictures of her. Since the block was gone I bought a new block and put it in the stump this afternoon. It didn’t take long for the single doe to come out. Here she is eyeballing the salt block.  But I don’t think she liked the looks of the block that all of a sudden showed up or she got a whiff of the odor of the salt block deliverer. She left without licking.  |

Wait a day or two, she'll be back and have no concerns.

And here I had always heard that "baiting" wasn't fair to the animals because it made things too easy for hunters and critters would just flock to it like they had no ability to resist. She must have not gotten the memo. :-)

I don’t think this is the same doe, but she liked the salt block.  |

Woody,
How do you like the reveal cam? I’ve been thinking about getting one myself but haven’t pulled the trigger.
The pictures look nice! How was the setup? Any pros or cons?

Woody, How do you like the reveal cam? I’ve been thinking about getting one myself but haven’t pulled the trigger. The pictures look nice! How was the setup? Any pros or cons? I like it a lot.. Woodmaster did most of the setup but I watched and it didn’t look that difficult. The pics I’ve taken are on the lowest megapixel of 8. It goes up to 24 megapixels. The camera not only sends you pics but stores them on a card in the phone. Folks say that those are even better than the ones sent to the phone The AP lets you change settings from your phone. At $99 it’s a steal. I opted for the “Pro” limits on pics. It’s $13 a month. I think the cheapest is $5. |

Thanks for the input Woody, I’ve got a couple gift cards to burn... may just have to light them up for one of these 😎

The old gal still isn’t too sure about the salt block. She never did lick it, the stump or the dirt.  . |

I bought a Reveal and have been pretty happy with it. Tested in the backyard for a week or two, and just moved it to my lease property tonight.

We planted our plot Friday and I moved my camera up there. Nothing up yet but the deer came across it. The Little buck says “What’s that?” And checked it out  |
