Tony, Give me your address in a PM, and I will send the videos to you. there were 18 22 second video clips of this bull the other morning. The sound is what makes the videos. I am going to keep trying to upload the videos. This week-end, I am taking two cameras to another mineral lick in Oregon. That lick is 20 miles away, and I have never been there. It is near a friends cabin. I like the stills from these videos because the picture quality is pretty good, and there are 660 frames in each video clip. Talk about rapid pics mode, 30 pictures per second. You can get the perfect pose everytime ! I am going to get some neat elk videos and pictures this summer and fall. When I checked the 290 the other day, I did not check my 230 beacuse I don't have anough 16 gig memories to check two cameras on the same day. Those memories are expensive. I am checking the 230 Saturday, and it will have some nice pictures also. In the night videos from the 290, you can see the bulls for a second every time the flash fired on the 230. You can tell when an elk is there just from the sound. When they are licking the salt block, you hear SLURP! SLURP! Smack! BURRRRP! And it is loud. In the last video clip that morning, the bull as always comes after my camera.
Here are a few stills from another video. A small buck is curious about my cameras. I posted pictures of this set. There is a 230 seven feet up on this pole. My 290 is three feet below it. This buck sniffs and licks my 290, and he keeps looking up at the 230. Also there is a goshawk flying by in the background on this video.

Last night, I tried uploading a 22 second video clip to photobucket. One and a half hours later, it was still going so I canceled it. We can't get high speed internet here because the mountains and timber block the signal. Cell phones don't work here. Is there another place besides photobucket besides you tube that might be better? I don't watch many videos on here because it takes so long on my computer, but these elk videos are the best I have ever seen. After seeing these videos on a 46 inch HDTV, my neighbor told me I should sell my 230's. I was thinking the same thing

I've found that youtube loads them up a bit quicker, but, more importantly, you can watch the videos a lot smoother on you tube.
