This is a great thread. I've never run cell cams but seriously thinking about it this year to better maximize the times to hunt. Ethically however, I'm not sure this is a fair deal for the buck. Or is it? I know guys that get cell cam pics and go in and shoot their target buck. Others never have luck. What are all your thoughts on this? For those that are running cell cams... have they improved your mature buck take markedly from say before without them? How much more compared to just regular trail cams and having to check them manually?
I know several guys that have capitalized on the real time info provided by cell cams. I’m starting to see it become pretty popular on some channels. One year I killed a different buck from the one that I got pictures of the day before but it definitely put me on a hot stand that I otherwise wouldn’t have been at. They are without question an incredible advantage. Should they be allowed, that’s hard to say, but I’d be perfectly okay with it if the line was drawn. I’ve started using mine for intel in farther away places more so I don’t have to drive several hours to check them. I feel a little better about using them in this manner.
