[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5645501, member: 1409"] I continue to believe trail cam use by the general public (or those who want to) is actually less intrusive (does less harm) to other hunters hunting opportunities than those same general public googans just walking all over the place more often, doing more in-person, boots-on-the-ground "scouting". [B]Nothing stifles deer movement more than human presence where it normally isn't on a daily routine.[/B] Hundreds of times I've observed very steady predictable daily deer movements Tues, Wed, & Thursday before a weekend "quota" deer hunt. Hunters come in "scouting" on Friday, actually disturb the deer far more with their Friday "scouting" than their Saturday "hunting". Same areas will have almost no daylight deer movement then on Saturday & Sunday [U]due to the human disturbances[/U]. Yet, by Tuesday or Wednesday, back to more steady daytime deer activity. Just saying, trail cams, especially cell cams, tend to greatly reduce humans in the woods "scouting". And when other hunters use them, they help me keep tabs on those other hunters, something I can use as much to my advantage, often even more, than actually deer sign in the woods, even if I personally don't use trail cams in those same areas.
