Without cellular cameras, how will you know when that 160" buck is at your feeder so you can leave work early and go shoot it.

When I was younger before cameras everyone was always fired up for opening morning and had no idea what may walk out. Now, if there isn't something special on the camera its hard to get motivated to even hunt. At our lease we use them throughout the summer but take all of them up once the season starts. If you want to kill a certain animal you will have to get out and find him.

We use them to help identify the deer we want guests to shoot. If we didn't have cameras we wouldn't know what we had to shoot until midway through the season. Our place is a little over 4 hours away. Having a few cameras us eliminates having to drive hours and hours just to figure out what deer we are going to try to hunt. Once season starts we don't really use them as much unless there's a big smart buck that is whooping us. My uncle hunted a deer for 2.5 years in our place. Had pics of him mon-thurs every week. He'd show up to hunt and the buck would no-show. One weekend he stayed through monday and walked to his blind, normally parked the truck a couple hundred yards away, sure enough the buck showed up!!! If he wouldn't of had pics of that deer he would of never known he was there....

And to those opposed... I get the argument for crowded public land but to make it statewide regardless of public or private is an overreach.
If you prefer to be surprised... Simple fix... Chose not to use them.

what used to be the great thing about America was the FREEDOM to do things how you want. you guys that think trail cams and feeders take away from the hunting experience - great! Nobody is forcing you to use either.
by the same token, if someone else choses to use all available legal means in their efforts - just as great! Nobody should be allowed to infringe upon their right to do so, just because a few don't agree with those methods.
I get the public land issue, that sounds like it's causing unintended consequences, and making for a worse situation for everyone...even if you get drawn, it would suck to have 50 other cams there and people in and out...not going to see much there.
But on private land, folks should be allowed to manage and use the tools available. I like to know when the neighbors cattle stray onto our place, or when pigs are patterning to a feeder so i can go take care of the issue. ...in addition to knowing more about the bucks in the area each year.

I miss the good old days of hunting where you're actually hunting. I had fun with cameras and it's fun to check them, but they got too good to the point where you know every deer that's coming out it detracts from the actual hunting. I guess hunting is a lost art these days though so maybe that's fine for some.

Originally posted by Easttxbowman View PostI don't think it's the cameras themselves that is the issue. The problem was everyone was put them on the same waterholes and the traffic to and from was crazy. Like 30+ per waterhole. I've even heard there were people (who knew they weren't going to draw a bull tag anytime soon) essentially selling pictures of huge elk, To people who drew the area almost as a tip on where to concentrate efforts.
