New Jovian Thunderbolt got me thinking about this.
I’ve never seen one of these things in the flesh, but it seems like it would be such a great idea. It’s a game camera, an infrared digital camera triggered by a motion detector. Hunters use’em: Mount it in a likely spot and learn all about the activity on a game trail or meadow or whatnot.
A lot of the wildlife around here lays low during the day, but judging from tracks this is a pretty jumpin’ place at night and I always miss it.
Someday. Someday. When I finally (HAH!) finish the Lair.

















































I occasionally bump into one of these when I’m out exploring with the dogs. We always pose for a family portrait before we continue on our way. I’ve always wondered if the owners appreciated or gesture. 🙂
I have limited experience with these, but I can offer this:
Avoid Cuddeback brand. These cameras are crap. Engineered by low-functioning morons. Customer service by clueless trolls. The cameras eat batteries, use antiquated memory cards, and die within a few months. Stay away.
Good to know. Thanks!
