Game Cameras Have Changed the Hunting Game

Game cameras have changed the hunting game. A game camera will help enable a hunter to take their game to a whole new level. Many of the cameras have features on them that are unimaginable, such as faster trigger speeds, enhanced detection sensors, extended battery life and the ability to record high definition videos. Using a game camera will make you a better and successful hunter. Using the following tips will help you get the most out of your game camera:

1.     Scent-Free

Bucks are going to stay away from your game camera is they smell you or any other scent. Absolute care should be taken to make sure that the camera is scent-free. 

2.     Clear Detection Lanes

Always make sure that you have a clear path between your camera and the detection area. All overhanging limbs and tall weeds should be removed. The clearer the area, the better shot you are going to get.

3.     Accurate Aiming

A properly placed camera will make sure you get a clear picture of the entire buck and not just their legs, etc. Care should be taken to establish an accurate aiming point that covers the targeted area. 

4.     Blurry Images

Blurry images are from nighttime photos or when game is in motion. If you get a game camera with a motion freeze feature, the quality of the pictures will be drastically improved. 

5.     Stealth Mode Operation

Your game camera should not be flashy at night and noisy during any time of operation because it will scare the buck. 

6.     Camera Coverage

If you are wishing to cover a large area, you want to get a game camera with a wide-coverage area. Panoramic mode cameras will take three photos and assembles them into a single, extra-wide image.  

7.     Camera Traps

If you place bait-stations, feeders, attractants or mock scrapes right in front of your camera, you will be sure to get god pictures of the deer. 

8.     Networking Cameras

One game camera can definitely help you locate and pattern buck faster but just think if you have multiple game cameras set up. By having a network of cameras, you will have everything you need to know of when and where to hunt.

9.     Return Trips

To decrease your return tips, get a game camera that can take and store a high volume of photos. Having game cameras that can automatically email you the pictures your camera takes is another great way to decrease return trips.

10.            Hybrid Mode

Game cameras can be programmed to use a time-lapse mode during daytime hours and motion detect mode during nighttime hours.
