I never use them but then again I'm a bird hunter...

I use them to catch poachers and trespassers . To me it's not much fun watching a buck on camera half the year and punching a hole in him, and I don't hunt feeders either. Just my choice.

Bought one this year and used it for a month and took it down

I love using a TC. Showing up and looking at the pics feels like Christmas morning to me.

Wanna sell it?

i use them but i am fairly new to hunting. i get enjoyment out of browsing the pictures on my laptop over a nice Crown and Diet to see what is on them. it does help me know when the hogs have moved in or out - they seem to be kind of cyclical. in for a few weeks, out. i don't want to wast too much time chasing something that isn't there.

i also enjoy posting the interesting ones and seeing others interesting / funny pics.

When they came out I used one for 5 years. Felt like I already knew what I was going to see and usually did. But several time a big buck showed up and got killed on our lease no one had seen on their cameras ever. After two cameras breaking I said I am done with cameras. Had a better time since. Out of 8 guys on our lease only one guy still uses a camera. I enjoy my season more without it.

Havent used on in 2 yrs, Great for mounting in a tree by the front door at home to see who comes and goes or pics of urban wildlife.

enjoy mine, hunted WMA land for years. fill out card entering & again on what ya seen whin left. Seeing more & more deer than whin first opened. hunters were the eyes & ears ta help regulate. at house was seeing at least 3 different bucks & several different does, 1 buck county. Since it became 4 deer county, big difference, its low fence, open range, hopen hogs would show back up, the other wild game.

I don't use trail cams or feeders.

Love my trail cams and will always use them if possible

I built my own "home brew" camera many years ago before people began selling them. Like so many others, I eventually became bored with it and like yourself, found it more enjoyable to be surprised at what shows up.

Every trail camera I've bought developed serious problems in short order and had to be returned. None lasted a full season. I use them to figure out just when hogs are coming around at night so I know when to sit out, or to figure out if it is hog, crows, or raccoons eating the bait. Can't see the need to use one when deer hunting. If all I want is to see pretty pictures of deer, I can get all I can stand online.

I use them...knowledge is power.

Just moved cam at bow stand, proof tis in the pudding, yep scrape tis fresh again, no proof till pudding it on cam U no the ol saying hope twill get lucky

I don't use them but some of the kids and grandkids do and send me pics on occasion. I set blinds so much I have most the deer named. Great tool for serious hunters.

i use them, i love them, and i am working on a pretty impressive little collection of pics....just nothing on the wall to back it up...

I have seen two ways about this. One is to use an electronic clock that tracks the time when a pig knocks the clock over, and the other is to use a TC with a time stamp. The more traditional folks i know use the clocks, where as the folks who prefer to see exactly what is in their area use the cameras. Just a different way to do pattern analysis. I prefer TCs though.

Drywall screws will hold those cameras to the wall, FYI.

Most people have moved away from my antiquated technique. I use binoculars. But I don't have a feeder or permanent stand. If I did, I might move over to the dark side.

I use GPS ta find my stand

Having them keep me from shooting that 4.5 year old 135" 10 pt. It's a good management tool. It allows me to harvest the best correct buck each year.

I am not using one this year at my regular stand. It has been more enjoyable siting in the stand without expectations of seeing the one on the camera that never comes out.

Today gave me a very compelling reason to keep using them aside from my previous post.

POACHERS!!
