Stavross 13,710 Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 So I have some fields that I mainly shoot rabbits on, on numerous occasions I’ve bumped into a fox on here, ever since they combined it’s been about, it’s a clever old thing always in a position where a shots not possible or it know that I’m there before I know it’s about, so I thought I’d set up my evil bay 23 quid camera with a bit of the moggy’s food in the bottom field 75 ish yards away from my pigeon hide, I’ll bait it over the next few days and see if I can tempt it into the crosshairs 6 Quote Link to post

Stavross 13,710 Posted January 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 They are spot on, I have it on 20 second video and in night vision it’s as clear as day, this is the second one of these I’ve had but I paid a lot more than 23 quid for the first one Quote Link to post

The one 8,393 Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Spike some pheasants with a metal fence spike even as they go off they should be a better attractant than cat food mate 1 Quote Link to post

Stavross 13,710 Posted January 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 So I’ve been and checked the camera and no fox yet, there was a fresh on the track in the front field, the camera is working and caught a few rabbits, we have gone for tuna today so we’ll see how that goes, it will be Friday before I can get up there to check it, fingers crossed 1 Quote Link to post
andyf 144 Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Good project these cameras, some time ago I got a couple from Lidl of all places? Looks the same as yours, I paid £50>£60 something each so yours is a good buy. I have had good success with a 'hamster' rabbit bait, guts pulled out and still attached, pegged down with a garden wire noose, all and sundry seem to like these, Crows, Magpie's & Badgers particularly, but Foxes of course. I even got a Roe doe sniffing the carcase a couple of years ago?? AndyF 1 Quote Link to post
Stavross 13,710 Posted January 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 My last one was from Aldi and I think it was £60, I had all sorts on it when I had it out, when baiting foxes, often buzzards during the day making the most of my rabbit bait, I once had a badger and a fox squaring up to each in front of the bait but it stopped recording before I found out who got the prize Quote Link to post
