One misconception about trail cameras is they don’t find the deer . You still got do your foot work and put the cameras were they are traveling .
Camera just shows you what you got for deer , freezer meat or a wall hanger .
Doesnt always mean they going to be there when the camera shows them , other hunters , predators , food source change , can all affect their whereabouts .
I suggest after the first couple of checks to only go in when actually hunting that area , the pics can get addicting and before you know it you’ve spooked your area .Cell cams are better , because you don’t have to frequent your area so much .but can be more expensive to operate .

I don’t use cams, I don’t like telegraphing movements to deer back and forth once a week to pull cards and putt around on a wheeler, leave boot scent from Waffle House and whatnot.

I don’t like getting cams, stolen, vandalized.

If you insist, use a cellphone trailcam, but since youre an archaic rotary phone boomer, oh well.

Got a nephew that is eat the fouck up with 3, maybe 4 cams couple hundred yards apart. Has hunted his ass off and has only killed a doe. Has a little sliver of trophy rock in front of each trail cam, multiple mineral offerings on a small property. Collects his rock and takes it home last day of the season. lmfao

He won’t leave rock or cams out in the spring/summer when they’ll hit mineral the most, and when he should be doing an actual census. Nope, can’t tell him nothing. He is a Walmart Waddell video hunter

Got a buddy of mine got one that works on cell phone—he called and wanted to know how to set it up since he couldn’t find any directions for it. I told him to go on You-Tube they have lots of video’s that will show you how to use it. He said “What’s You-Tube?” I told him to just throw the camera away.

My kid is a private forestlands manager, he put out some cameras a couple years ago to try to get a handle on where the elk were calving... to keep the logging away from the calving area until the elk moved on. Well, he made no effort to conceal the cameras, and a hiker couple saw one of them and proceeded to put on an outdoor porn show. Son was greatly amused, printed out a couple stills to go with the logging plan/environmental report and submitted it to the Calif State inspector. A week later the report came back with a note attached, "plan approved, but continue to monitor the breeding area and keep this office informed." At least somebody in the state forestry office has a sense of humor.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
