Trail Camera Warning

You've got to be the most insufferable human on planet earth. I bet you think Tiger Woods is awful at golf and Tom Brady a terrible football player. There are plenty of dudes on this site killing great TN deer every year. Funny how we never see pictures of anything you supposedly catch or kill.

The ignore feature works. I highly recommend 👌
 
Personally, I don't use cams as a scouting tool. I use them as a management/herd monitoring tool. However, while I'm monitoring, I sure learn a heck of a lot about deer movement pattens in the area.
We to like using ours to observe the deer population. We like to compare to previous years. Also, we like to leave the bucks alone for years and years so we get big mature bucks. With the trail cams we can see their progress over the years. Same with does. And, it's very fascinating and informative. We see numerous doe year after year with their young and have been able to identify some of the doe and keep up with how many little ones each have in the spring. As with you, we like to observe their behaviors and have learned so much about them. Especially the bucks. It's very fascinating, educational, and informing.
 
Trails cameras are tough. Especially cell cameras. I had one morning that I sat from 6am to 1pm. I saw 25 deer, I had maybe total 30minutes where I couldn't see a deer, and I had 4 pictures on camera. The area I was hunting was not very big maybe 1.5 acres in a bottom that was pretty thick. Likewise the single deer I was hunting was killed that morning, and I hadn't had a picture of him in 2 weeks, but during that week this was the second time I had seen him in person.

If I hadn't been there I would of saw 4 does on camera and thought slow morning, but in reality it was chaos including the opportunity I needed to harvest the buck I was after. I love them so much, but aside from knowing a deer exists, and uses an area. Using them to make day to day hunting decisions saves a lot of deer.
