Melted Browning #6 is in semi-retirement, but I have some rechargeable batteries that aren't doing anything else and a vacant spot in my back yard. At this point I'm not expecting great images from #6, but it monitors what is going on. This is probably as good as the 7-year-old camera can do, with decent light and not too much distance to the subject. I didn't see the deer in the yard today, but this is only 25 minutes ago as I'm typing this. As I mentioned Nov. 9, the camera was mounted on a metal rod in the middle of the yard pointing northwest.
The newer Browning #11 has been pointing at my shed for a few months, so I decided to swap locations of #6 and #11. Obviously #6 was pointed a bit too high for a deer, so I lowered #11 when I moved it to the post. I'm expecting it will get the critters going through the bottleneck between the fence and the rock garden, and hoping it will take note of any large grazers in the field on the other side of the fence. I saw several deer go through the field the last few days, and there were no triggers by #6. Maybe a moose will be big enough.
