Trail Cameras

More and more hunters are using trail cameras to determine what animals are coming into an area, what time of day the come by, what the weather conditions are at the time, etc..

We too started using trail cams a while back and not find them useful for determining where the big ones are, how many are coming by, and when they are most likely to show up. We also get some good shots showing their interactions with each other.

 
We use a couple brands of cameras; +Moultrie and +Wildgame Innovations. Moultrie was the first brand we went with, after talking to other outfitters. Moultrie takes very good pictures.



Dennis, one of our clients turned guide, brought up his Wildgame Innovations cameras and we liked them so much we use them too now. 






This year we tried out a Hunten Outdoors camera, and had good results too.


ignore date, this was last week

Overall, we've been really happy with the results our cameras are giving us.

 

 If you are looking at purchasing a trail camera I suggest you get the best picture resolution you can afford. Also look at the durability of the unit, because you never know what an animal might try to do to it while it is installed, and consider battery life, Things like infrared flash seem to be pretty much standard these days, but worth mentioning as a must have feature. USB port or TV Out Jacks are really up to the user and how you plan to manage your photos. We prefer to load them directly onto our computer and sort, file, and delete them there.
