Trail Camera

Ever wonder what might go "bump in the night" in your backyard? Well, with the advent of technology and inspiration from the hunting community, wonder no more. The proof is in the digital pudding.

A trail camera is a self-tripping camera half as big as the old bread-box that can be strapped to a tree or fence post or on a tripod near a food source or game trail, and will take photos of any warm-blooded creature, man or beast, that crosses in front of its sensors day or night.
