"And to your issue with trail cameras, I would say the camera has saved more bucks than it has killed. When people SEE what is in their area they can hold out for a certain deer. Before the camera they shot what was in front of them. Today MANY go home with an empty tag. As with what Pav said, you can get pictures of a buck but putting in front of you to kill is a different matter. I might get to hunt 12 hours per day, my camera is on 24/7"
True statement for me. I like to know what is around and for the past 2 seasons did not punch a tag, although I passed up decent bucks.
Cameras to me is like fishing with a topo or even fish finder. I can find the areas that hold fish and maybe even locate them w/ my Garmin but that does not mean I can put them in the cooler. Gives me an idea of what is there in the area BUT I still have to work for catching them.
