Current Location of My 8 Trailcams

I have owned eight trail cameras, four of which are in good condition and fully operational. Of the other four, one is obsolete, one is in perfect condition but takes horrible images, one was damaged but is still working, and one was destroyed in a forest fire. I also have access to the images from my brother's trailcam at his cabin in Montana.

  • #1 Bushnell purchased 2009, is obsolete for my purposes. My wife's cousin borrowed it a few years ago to track deer, which is what most people use trailcams for. I don't know (or care) where it is so I'm guessing he still has it.
  • #2 Reconyx PC900 was in Wind Cave National Park 2011-2018. Restored by Reconyx to new condition after being damaged in the Legion Lake Fire, December 2017. Currently in Custer Gallatin National Forest in Montana looking for moose and bobcats.
  • #3 Moultrie M-880 acquired 2014, destroyed in the Legion Lake Fire, Custer State Park, December 2017.
  • #4 Primos Proof Cam 02 HD acquired 2015 and except for night is almost useless. Image exposure is dreadfully inconsistent, almost always blown out when it is sunny and underexposed when cloudy. No way to set it to capture only at night or adjust the sensitivity, so I'm not wasting lithium batteries on it. I can put rechargeable batteries in it, but is currently unassigned.
  • #5 Browning Strike Force HD Pro acquired 2017. Currently in the back yard of my house in Montana.
  • #6 Browning Strike Force HD Pro acquired 2017, while in Wind Cave National Park damaged in the Legion Lake Fire, December 2017, but I taped it up to cover the warped seams and it is working for now. Currently in Custer Gallatin National Forest.
  • #7 Reconyx HyperFire 2 Professional Covert IR received June 2018. Currently in Custer Gallatin National Forest in Montana looking for moose and bobcats.
  • #11 Browning BTC Patriot FHD trailcam acquired 2022. It bears superficial resemblance to the 5-year-old #5 and #6 but is an upgrade. Currently in my back yard monitoring the bluebird nest box, which was taken over by swallows this year.
  • #13 Campark My brother's trailcam at his cabin.
  • (#8-10 & 12 are not trailcams but are the numbers I've assigned to my Canon cameras. On my website, these numbers identify images taken by motion trigger or remote trigger with these cameras.)

By the way, #3 was detroyed in Custer State Park and #2 and #6 damaged in Wind Cave National Park in the same fire. They were about 10 miles apart but it was a big fire, 54,000 acres. Made-in-America #2 went to Reconyx for repairs and came back good as new. Chinese import #6 with the Browning brand name can't be fixed but is still operational despite a warped case.
