With most of the trail cameras manufactured in China… Can we expect retail process to increase by fall?

I hope they go up 1000 % and TWRA puts a $250 usage fee each on them per year. LOL......

What? Surely you can't enjoy the outdoors without electronics. If so, you are probably one of those guys who would go out without some kind of GPS device and would have the nerve to shoot a deer with a 30-30!

I don't have anything against trail cameras. It is the a$$holes that run to the woods a couple weeks before season and throw up 15-20 trail cams. Then when they get a decent buck on camera somehow that is their spot and they have named the deer like they have raised it from a fawn. Then get pissed off when someone kills "their buck". But, if they aren't breaking any rules/laws thats fine. But, I don't have to like it. :D

As an avid trail-cam user, I completely agree with you!

Don't get me wrong. I have no problem with people using trail-cams to help them home in on a good buck. However, where I hunt, deer are not on predictable patterns (maybe they move through a given area once a week), and cameras may point me to a 200-acre area to encounter a particular buck, which I am going to hunt from a couple of stands that each cover 1 acre of ground. Not the highest odds.

Many manufacturers have moved their production out of China and to places like Vietnam or Thailand, simply because of their fear of future problems between the US and China. So, some brands will be affected, and some won't.

I would expect new GardePros will be out of the question. But some of their earlier versions will have been stockpiled in the US.

No cell cams. No GPS. We have a canvas wall tent. Hunt with muzzle loaders. Deer, elk, antelope. No tv. Awesome 10 days hunting with 2 of my sons 👍. Spot & stalk. Sometimes, yu come home with just great memories. Most times, great memories and tasty meat.
 
I'm sure
Everything is gonna go up just because they can rt now
I use trail cams on my farms
For security and monitoring trespassers
Already caught 1
Got a pic of another
Just in the past week
 
I agree with kevin. Businesses will raise prices out of greed because they will blame the tariffs right off the bat, even if the tariffs don't effect anything immediately!
