So we need to remember not to base hunts on trail cameras alone!


Great Buck! Such a good point on trail cam usage. I've learned in the past that trail cams just show a very small percentage of what is actually happening in the woods. Hunting, scouting and going back to the basics is more important than what is showing on the cams. I have a cellular cam on a small property in Lebanon which went ice cold in late October. Figuring the deer had moved on I gave that property very little attention. I went there one afternoon and noticed that the deer had just been using a different route. Switched my trail cam location about 100 yards away and I have had deer on cam nearly every day since.
