[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5122168, member: 17"] I agree with everything you said Wes. Cell cameras are the way to go for many applications and for many reasons. I just don't personally use them on my own property for a couple of reasons: 1) Poor cell coverage. I can only get a cell signal at the tops of the highest ridges on my place. If I used cell cameras only, that would greatly limit where I could place them. 2) I like to use a lot of different camera locations over the course of the season. Running 6-8 cameras on my place, from early September until mid-January I may use 40-50 different locations. A few cameras may stay at the same location all season, but other get moved every time I check the cameras. 3) Cost. The service plans for a whole lot of cell cameras would really add up over several seasons. Currently, all I have to pay out of pocket is the original cost of the camera (and non-cell cameras are cheaper), and batteries. Luckily, because I do this for a living, I can write off all the travel time/mileage needed to constantly visit the site. Of course, using non-cell cameras DOES have the major downside of having to visit a camera site repeatedly, greatly increasing the risk of deer avoidance of the location. However, I've found ways to greatly mitigate that risk which appear to prove effective (no statistical decline in deer visits over the course of the season). [/QUOTE]
