wrong
Trail cams are all the rage. But "wrong" in my experience looks like this:
About bow season, all the trail cam guys hit the woods, dump out corn piles, and put their cameras up to see if they can get a pic of a buck. If they get a pic, then that's there scouting done, and they'll label that a good spot. Problem is, bow hunters are already hunting, and hunting within 100 yds of corn is illegal. You go in to hunt on a good spot, one that's produced in years gone by or has readable natural sign on it, and there's a pile of corn and a camera. Or worse, you get up a tree before light, and once daylight, there, 40-50 yds away,is a corn pile and a camera. Drives me nuts.
Of course, these guys have to check their cameras once a week for a month or so 'till they get to gunhunt, so they ride in with their ATV, tromp around with the same clothes and boots they wore to work and pumped gas with on the way there, and stink up the place. And spoil a good spot for everybody, long before gun season. Oh, they get a pic and can show it off, but nobody sees the buck again all year.
Then there's the whole business about when they get a deer on camera, give it a name, and take some kind of ownership of the the thing before it's been killed. And if they don't kill it, and somebody else does (like me), I shot "their" deer.
I wish cameras, bait/feed were totally illegal, and strictly enforced. You see a camera in the woods, you can destroy it.
Not a troll, .....and now rant over.
