This is going to sound a little crazy but....... I decided to get into the trail cam thing about 3 years ago. I ended up buying 6 of them and had them out all over the place. Then I realized I was going into my hunting areas to frequently checking them and got concerned with alerting the deer I was after. As hunting season approached, another concern popped up, I wasn't seeing bucks I considered as shooters in all my spots and it gave me an enthusiasm problem. Then, hunting season gets here and I'm seeing the bucks I want to kill in the woods, but still not on the cams. Once hunting started, I don't want to be wasting time moving cameras to different spots for reasons of scenting the area and of course, playing with cams when I should be hunting. Anyways, it became frustrating to me, coupled with the fact that I was seeing and shooting quality deer that were never on the cams. I'm also figuring the rut was bringing in bucks that were cruising out of their home territories and with that, I pulled them all, sold all but two of them, and use the two I have left for home security now. LOL....
So for me, they just don't jibe with my ways I guess. I know they are a great tool for most, just not for me.....
