Coyote takes a sniff

"Big ol' head, big ol' ears, skinny body," said the cowman, "must be a young dog coyote".

Meaning "male".

It was day 9 when the yote took a passing sniff at the bait rock, and neither he nor his kin were seen there again.

Question, what cameras do you use? Homebrew? They seem to work very well, and what would be the price range for one of these cameras?

Mostly homebrews, Zach. Sony s600s and various controllers. Price about $160-220 per camera.

Nice. I should try a homebrew sometime, are you happy with how they perform? Any idea how well the handle weather, cold, rain, ect.? Aaaaand, so I can't stop pestering you, where could one find information on homebrews?
