  • Page 5 INTRODUCTION About the Trophy Cam HD Aggressor The Bushnell Trophy Cam HD Aggressor is a digital scouting camera.

    Inserting the SD Card The Trophy Cam HD Aggressor has 32MB of internal memory, which can hold only about 18 photos (@ 8MP resolution). This is handy for testing and getting familiar with the camera, but you will no doubt want to leave the camera unattended for longer than a day, so using an SD card is recommended for all models.

    USING THE Trophy Cam HD Aggressor Once you’ve prepared your Trophy Cam HD Aggressor by properly installing batteries and an SD card, you could simply take it outside, strap it to a tree, switch it on and leave-and you might get some great photos that are exactly what you wanted. However, we highly recommend that you first spend some additional time indoors with this manual and your camera until you know a bit more about what the 3-way switch and those control keys do.
