Trail Cams Why?

BG, I know a guy who's got the equipment that may help you out,I don't have a corn planter, but can get the ground worked up to sow something on. I've had pretty good luck with winter wheat in the fall. maybe some clover or type of greens for in the spring. I seem to recall you had a nice bottom down there that would make a real foodplot. let me know and we will try and do it this spring.

Sometimes we get other critters on our cameras. It's not just a hunting tool.

Wow that turkey picture is cool

I use mine as a scouting tool more than anything.  Rather than the old way of hunting a stand sight hoping that a deer uses that trail durring daylight hours I can put a camera on it and determine if they frequent it mostly at night or at least use it occasionally durring daylight.  Besides who doesn't like close up pictures of real deer?

expensive food plots ? has anybody priced corn lately ? looks like you could raise food plots cheaper than buying corn, and it looks alot better than the feedlots i see posted in alot of these trail cam photos. The biggest problem i see with baiting is it concentrates animals in a small space to the point the are eating and crapping and eating each others cooties. Looks like a good way to spread diseases to me. I guess its legal in Kentucky, but not on public land. Why is that ?

Corn may not be exspensive to plant but the equipment needed to get it in the ground is.... [/b]

all you need is a stick to poke a hole for the seed    indians and pioneers managed, we are all about "traditional"

My son used one to see what size bears were coming into his bait. He did confirm there were bears coming in; but as a bear put its tooth right through the guts of the camera- he doesn't have a working camera now.

I would like to know if there are sows with cubs coming into my bait- and what the sow looks like. And too what boars are there.

I really enjoy the pictures here taken with trail cams; I think they are pretty neat from that aspect alone.

When I am hunting bears ( thats on my mind now) I don't like to move around to take pictures; and I sure would like a picture of the three legged boar that has been at my bait for years.

I think I will invest in a trail cam; but I will have to remember to 'put on rubber gloves BEFORE touching the camera'.  Probably will put that on a sign in my bedroom- next to the one that says " socks FIRST- THEN shoes".
