[QUOTE="Headhunter, post: 5457675, member: 652"] I am one the "critics". How do I have knowledge about cameras? Because that is one of the main subjects of deer hunting in today's world. It cracks me up how many ignore someone, don't talk to them, etc. because they don't use cameras. Reminds me of tournament fishermen who think they know everything when there are many who care nothing about tournaments, but they catch way more fish than the tournament fishermen do. Cameras may be the number 1 subject in deer hunting conversations. I have no care either way about them, but they are not something I want to use. Crazy thing is, I will put out a couple cameras for my daughter this week or next week. She thinks she would like them, just because I never have cared for them is no reason for her not to try them. I will let her pick the locations and set them up and see what she gets. And I hope she has great luck and enjoys the pics. One thought, and this may be changing, but cameras have probably saved more bucks lives than they have helped kill. I cannot even begin to remember the number of great bucks I have seen pics of that not only were never killed but never seen, at least by those that had the pics and tried to kill the buck(s) they had pics of. I really believe people spook deer, especially mature bucks with cameras. I don't need a camera or pics to encourage me to hunt, I love to hunt. And another way cameras are beneficial is that people will let younger bucks walk knowing there is a "giant" in the area also, only to never see the "giant", so to me that is huge benefit. Second, I do know cameras have helped several kill bucks, partly by pics encouraging people to stay in the woods when they would not have been hunting if they didn't have a picture. Also, I know of a few instances, especially cameras that send pics, that great bucks have been killed because of the pics. One was a 150" 8 ptr, he showed up 2 days in a row on camera, third day guy I know got in the stand about 20 minutes before the the buck was showing up and killed him within a minute of when he had went through with a bow. It was in October. Personally that is something I have no care for. Happy for him, great buck, especially for a bow kill, but not something I would do or try to do. I know of a few other instances that has happened, one is a buck that TV hunter killed that measured in the 200's. The guide carried me to the spot where the buck was killed. I asked him about the story of the kill, he said the buck showed up 4 days in a row in the same spot at the same time, the TV hunter showed up, paid a pile of money, got in the stand about 30 minutes before the buck had been coming through and shot the buck when came through on the 5th day at the same time. Nope, not for me. The guide, who is a great hunter for sure, laughed and said the TV hunter was bragging about how great a hunter he was.
