I see nothing wrong with hunting without so much technology. Why is it we need cellular surveillance systems to shoot a deer when our forefathers shot plenty with just a musket and depended upon his skills for the success of the hunt? That is the way it should be. Now I aint saying we should all use muskets, some advancements in technology do no hurt. But this is taking it too far.

The entire culture is designed around separating you from your cash Where I hunt, no cell service anyway. I might use something like that for home surveillance, but not hunting. That way I could call one of my neighbors to shoot the perps.

i would never get anything done at work or home if i could sit in front of the computer and see what the deer were doing.

most hunter's these day's want the easy way out they want the bells and whistles and the trophy in a can just add water and pour your buck out. i am happy doing it the hard way thanks .

I'm not disagreeing with the technology at all. I don't have a trail camera either, but I don't hunt whitetails from stands either (no opportunity is why).

All of these new fangled gizmos are designed to separate one from his cash. Just a fact. Ask for one for free and see what happens. The guy who invented this stuff came up with the idea that he could market it to someone and make some cash. Prove me wrong.

One of the things I like about hunting is getting away from all the technology (including this computer that I'm typing on right now).

beekeeper . there is nothing like cutting a fresh set of big tracks and tracking that boy down. or sitting a huge rub or scrape line and waiting to see who might show up. 1+ for you

Unfortunately, I have not yet had the opportunity to use these types of trail cams, but I can see a benefit to them that several people have overlooked. If someone is trespassing on your property, you will know immediately and have photographic evidence. The same goes for if your new, state of the art camera is stolen. Obviously, since they rely on cell coverage, they are not going to work well everywhere. But I can see where they have some benefits.

Personally, I do not use trail cameras for scouting. I depend on using landscape features and finding heavily used trails. I have used them a lot at work and have yet to find one that I am overly impressed with that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. If the cuddebacks come down in price a little more I will probably buy one...more for taking pictures back yard wildlife at bait and scent stations. I don't trust putting a trail camera in the woods...too many thieves out there.

Wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. I'm getting tired fast of all this new crap. No one can seem to do anything on their own without technology anymore. Recently, even hunting has fallen victim to this pathetic reliance trend. I will just continue to "kick it old school". No Scentlok or digital cameras or automated feeders for me. I haven't even bought a rangefinder yet, but might. That I'm OK with, but it's about all the technology I can stand to see in hunting.
