The great part about todays trail cameras is the ability to capture pictures and video. The pictures do a great job at showing you the animals on your deer hunting lease but the trail camera videos add a whole new element. Being able to see a buck chasing a doe can cue you in on when the peak of the rut will hit.

Placing the trail camera over a scrape is a great place to set up for video clips. Another great place is at a fence crossing. You can get some really great footage as the deer pauses to make the jump. Below are some examples of daytime and infrared video clips from a Moultrie I40 Trail Camera.

these first 2 videos are from North Carolina and show off the still and video capabilities of the Moultrie I40.

This is a nice daytime video clip of a 10 point buck.

This is an awesome video of 2 birds of prey fighting over a carcass. This is also a great example of the many uses of a trail camera.

The buzz term for 2008 has been "IR" or infrared.  The principle is that the infrared light from the flash will not been seen by the game.  I have never noticed the IR flash bothering the deer but there have been times when a noise from the camera seems to alert the deer to its position.  The IR flash will also not reveal the location of the camera to trespassers and poachers.

The Moultrie I60 infrared trail camera is an excellent camera for the price.  The trigger speed is around 1 second and the image quality is excellent.  A built in view finder provides the hunter with instant feedback in the field.  Although it may not seem like a huge bonus, the addition of a laser to aid in aiming the camera is a huge help.  With the Moultrie I60 you have the option of capturing a series of still images or video.  I have also been really pleased with the battery life of my I60.  I can get over 6 weeks of use from one set of batteries.

I would really like to hear the experience that other hunters have had with the Moultrie I60 infrared trail camera.  If you own an I60 please take a few moments to post a quick response.

thanks for reading and i hope this helped
