Hurry up and wait

[Swamphunter]

I ma in hurry up and wait mode now...I placed my new Cuddeback out for the first time (with a bit of help from Billkay ), and now I am waiting for a few weeks to go by. My question is...how long is it safe to assume those 4 D-cells will last. They are brand new industrial strength Energizers. I mean Cuddeback advertises 6 months in warm weather, but somehow I doubt it. How long before you think I should go back out there and get the pics and replace the batteries...?

I cant seem to rememeber exactly how long they lasted. ( ours got stolen after about 2 months of use) I was thinking during that time we never did replace the batteries. I am sure 6 month may be a bit of a stretch but you never know.
Cant wait to see some pics. It is an awesome camera.

I cant wait to see some pictures from it!

Looks like its in a good area!

Do you have corn or anything out infront of it?

Same here can't wait to see some pictures. I'll be putting mine out for the first time tomorrow! Hopefully get some pictures by the end of the weekend and if I don't I'll leave it out there for a couple weeks.

i normally leave mine out around 3-4 days at a time, and it says what battery level its at. but mine got stolen, it you left it out their for a long period of time i wouldnt leave it out for no more then 2-3 weeks

Well Ken, it depends on activity and the amount of night time shots as to just how long the batteries will last. I swap cards on our leaf river about every 3 or 4 days. Depending on how much activity I am seeing my batteries might last 2-3 months.

I would say three weeks max! winter maybe 4 to 5 weeks. But i have never had them last longer then 5 weeks in all my cuddebacks.

It looks like you got that camera too high. But it just might be the picture looks that way.

It is about 3-4 feet off the ground. It is just the way the picture looks.

i check mine about once a week or about once every two weeks...if you got bait out there then i would say once a week...if no bait then once every 2 weeks...looks like a good setup...good luck! cant wait to see some pics!
