I hunt all public land and see allot of hunting pressure. To date I havent had any trail cameras stolen and rarely get pictures of other hunters, likely because I go deeper than most. However come late October my areas start to change, not only from the rut but also because of baiting. There are no ag fields and very little oak anywhere around so brows are the main food source. (Mostly clear cuts from logging)
To get to the point of the post. Wyze is releasing their wireless outdoor camera in October. It has an offline mode so it can run without connection to the internet and reports 3-6month battery life. I was daydreaming of using a few of these to pattern not whitetails but humans. What do you guys think? Is it worth it? 50$ It may even work as a trail camera if hung high and pointed down. The IR is only about 25 feet. I live 3 hours away from where I hunt so going out and checking the area is not an option for me. But I go a couple times a month so I could check the cameras near the parking areas and guage hunter traffic and adjust accordingly.
Now to vent: I went out opening weekend to try and catch my target buck for the year by surprise (2nd year in a row after him) but when I got there there were two trucks in my area. I talked to one of them and found out they were on guided bear hunts hunting bait piles. One guy very close to the area where i believe this buck beds all summer and into September. He dissapeared mid September last year and this year he so far dissapeared about aug 27th. I know which trail is his because he is pretty much the only deer I get on camera on that trail 2 years in a row all summer long. There are 2 options for him to bed near that trail.
So last year a guy started a bait pile and walked across this trail a couple times a week. Deer dissapeared. This year there's a bear bait somewhere nearby. So far deer has dissapeared.
