The Spypoint Flex-S camera, deployed half a year ago and refilled every two months, is performing really well.
To get an assessment as close to reality as possible, the week before the hunt I switch it over to short video recordings, which this time captured a visit from a regular badger guest.
This July’s hunting weekend was a little different from the usual ones. After my 26-year-old Audi A4, on the way home last time, literally “breathed its last,” I had no way of getting to Somogy. But a very kind acquaintance of mine offered to drive me there, and to bring me home again on Monday….
A Zeiss Secacam 7 is now set up on this feeder, and I’m getting to know, test, and fine-tune its functions. I’d been basically satisfied with the earlier Spypoint "flagship" models, but I wanted to see for myself what Zeiss could do. My idea was to get videos synced to the feeder automat’s timer, but…

This beautiful, very well-fed, healthy badger is a regular visitor to this feeder. I’ve already run into it several times during my night stand hunts.

Before hunting season, after a thorough stocktaking, culling, and organizing, everything I need for spending my free time usefully — or almost everything — is now "housed" in the Outdoor Room. The crates, boxes, and bags hide thousands more "treasures", each one the distilled result of experience gathered over many long years.
