Managing Trail Camera Data: Destroy the Noise and Predict the Kill

It is absolutely brutally sweltering hot in late August. You physically just proudly aggressively pulled the heavy SD cards completely from three massive trail cameras you left completely soaking exactly over high-traffic mineral licks operating soaking operating soaking soaking operating soaking soaking operating soaking operating soaking soaking exactly on exact primary trails for a month.

You aggressively sit down entirely at your high-powered laptop, and violently plug exactly in the very first card.

The massive digital folder explicitly contains exactly 4,218 total images.

For the absolutely next three brutal, mind-numbing hours, you physically aggressively frantically hit the absolute Right Arrow key completely on your computer keyboard literally thousands of times. You angrily physically strictly look completely at exactly 2,000 completely useless pictures exactly of fat raccoons, precisely 1,500 entirely pointless pictures entirely completely of small gray squirrels, exactly 500 totally fully blank pictures of empty wind-blown waving tree branches, completely completely and… three somewhat somewhat blurry, incredibly frustrating frames completely of the exactly highly mature, massive target buck you have mathematically been intensely chasing tracking for almost completely fully almost for perfectly two years.

By the extremely exact mathematical time you finish finish finish, absolutely completely, you are absolutely exhausted. You completely, drag the three buck photos into perfectly an entirely exactly perfectly specific specific into a tiny folder completely named “Big 10 Point” and angrily delete the perfectly entire rest. This is absolutely no absolutely way entirely exactly definitely to to to to to to successfully legally professionally kill hunting.
