[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5553048, member: 20583"] Cell cams give a snapshot of very specific spot. Drones are way different by live scanning an entire area, covering thousands of square yards in minutes. That said, unless the deer is laid up wounded I don't see how a hunter could benefit much from knowing where a deer is at. Unless the deer is within rifle range in the wide open, and stays that way while you travel to it, a hunter isn't going to do much with the intel. I've hunted LOTS of bucks by attempting to sneak in close enough to their beds to get a shot, and it doesn't work. If I'm lucky enough to get an eye on them at all the only thing I see is the white flag in retreat. Otherwise they're long gone before I can get anywhere near. That's why I have my doubts about people who think a hunter can get a pic from a cell cam and run out & get the deer. I have zero faith that I'd be able to do that, and I fancy myself a fairly accomplished hunter. You'd have to be a stone cold ninja to sneak up on a mature buck. I'm not a ninja. I could, however, easily sneak up & shoot a wounded buck that is laid up healing .... if I knew where he was at. [/QUOTE]
