hoosierhunter Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 As I posted earlier my reconyx was stolen a few weeks back. I have yet to hear from anyone trying to unlock it from reconyx. My orginal plan was to buy a new one every year and I guess now is as good of time as any to start so I'm getting two of the hyperfires. Oh yeah boxes and cables this time too!!! For anyone who doubts how good these cameras are, you have no idea what your missing. It's the difference between a Ford Taurus and a BMW 3 series. Yeah the lesser one can get you from point A to B, but once you try the other you won't want to go back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) The Hyperfires are amazing Pat...nothing gets past them! Be careful not to leave it on the trail setting if you set the camera on a food source or salt lick. If you do, count on having at least 7,500 pics/week. On my last run over a scrape in January I had over 4,500 pics in a week with it set on scrape setting. Got everything I wanted and every angle I wanted on a couple of bucks I was looking for in particular. BTW..I decided to go with using the lithiam AA's rather than rechargable batteries with the one I bought last year. I still have over 85% battery level on it after one deer season of use. That was running it constantly from the beginning of September through mid January. They claim they will run on a set a batteries for a year. I personally think that's conservative.

Flintlock1776 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Maybe set a tiny cheaps trail camera back a bit covering your expensive set up. You may get the 2 footed banditos flatfooted that way. Once they find a candy store, they may be back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL last time I got the pull the rapidfire before it got stolen was 7002 pics in 10 days on 2 pics every 30 seconds setting! I"m so pumped to use the x-pattern this fall now that I'll have two reconyx and 6 total running! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoosierhunter Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 It's already up there and has been since I found the camera gone. Cuddeback with black tape on the flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
