Bait site continues to be active, with deer and fox coming regularly after dark most nights. Had a couple trips on the Chamberlain with no camera activity – pretty sure they were hit 'n runs by the lone yote I saw before. Bobcats were back one morning (saw their tracks along a fallen tree) but we had heavy snow overnight and the camera lense was covered so no pics. I taped over the green LEDs on the Chamberlain sensors, seems to do the trick in avoiding spooking. Dropping them lower has really increased sensitivity, even picked up a squirrel yesterday afternoon.
Here's my first daylight customer caught on video - came back multiple times, and appears to be settling down a bit.
Had the crosshairs on it once, going through a dry run, but decided to give a pass for a few days, let him get the word out to others. Figure a few days can't hurt, then “Light's Out” this weekend.
Got my new PVS 14 two days ago, still getting used to it, but my initial impression is just WOW! Even without the IR illuminator, no trouble seeing the bait and critters on a dark and cloudy night with no stars visible. Snow covered ground certainly helps, but I'm quite sure on the darkest of nights with no snow this thing is going to light em up with the IR! I did mount it to my rifle with a 3-10 x 44 scope,
very good picture up to 6x, struggled a bit with focus and diopter adjustments past that.
Looking forward to first blood, hoping to get it on film. Stay tuned...
