This year has being fill with ups and downs in the deer woods. I fill one tag during rifle season and tonight I was able to harvest young buck. Meat in the freezer is why I hunt. Congratulations to all who punched a tag during the 2024 deer season.

This is cool. The doe I shot in my corn field. Hawk, Eagle and crows at it for now. Yotes have yet to find it. Nice way to use a Trailcam.

One of the few real college games there is. GO ARMY!

I use them but more to just keep an eye on the property ! Trespasser Problem and Un invited Hunters !

It something that has been on my mind for several seasons now. Well, this year, we entirely stopped using trail cams. We started using them when 35 mm. cameras were in them. Progressed right up to the modern day cell cams. Now you may ask, why would they do such a thing? Many reasons, really. I just liked the way it was before trail cameras exsisted. I like to show the grand children how it use to be. Change is good, makes for new excitement. Making new memories, the old fashion way. And it's not a senior moment either,lol. I may cave sometime in the future IDK; but for now, the trail cams are in the box and all of us are really enjoying, this deer hunting season. How do you feel about trail cameras?

Anyone with any experience with any of the newer binoculars having the built in laser range finder, been reading about them and am mildly interested. I love the idea but they can be a little pricey. Al

I have used trail cams for wildlife photography. At one time I used to use them for assessing the deer population and quality on my property. But I don't really do any of that anymore. It was fun back then, but now I do my deer herd assessments the old way (Actual boots on the ground scouting). That is more fun and it gives me a reason to get out in the woods to snoop around. Studying trails and tracks, rubs, scrapes and all the other things involved with scouting are all part of the hunt. I don't want any shortcuts anymore. I'm actually adding more challenge back into the hunt by selectively limiting the technology involved. I don't get involved in the agriculture of food plots. I have stopped looking for more hi-tech archery equipment. I haven't bought any new archery equipment since 1999, and I'm still killing deer. The cameras are just one more piece of technology that I have thrown aside.

Not really interested in trail cameras for hunting. But, it is fun sometimes having someone show you a pic of your live buck after you've killed it. I've always been one to find a more challenging way to hunt rather than an eaiser way. In my opinion cameras are stretching the definition of "fair chase". But, to each his own as long as it's legal.
