Trail Cams: Unfair Advantage or Helpful Tool?
‘Shoot deer first with a gun, not a camera’ says Larry Wood of the Tennessean.com. What he is referring to is the use of trail cams and he has a very unique view on them.
Larry likens their use to ’swiping a deer’s bus schedule, then waiting for it at the bus stop.’ He also says, ‘They represent yet another step down the slippery slope of technology that blurs the definition and defies the spirit of hunting.’ Huh?
I don’t know about you other hunters out there, but I don’t see the trail camera as something that takes away from hunting or the spirit of it. Hunters spend a lot of time out in the field scouting and watching for deer, but there’s no way they can be out there constantly. A trail cam is just another way to extend your scouting, by no means does it improve your odds or take the challenge out of the hunt.
I have no problem with the traditionalist way of thinking about hunting, but if they don’t want to use a new gadget, at least provide a better argument against it.
How do you use trail cams? How do they affect your hunting?

I have nothing against trail cams,dont use one ,but under the right conditions I would.
I dont see it takes anything away from the hunt,just an idea where a nice deer may be.
Kinda like feeders,a way to lure in the deer.
You know what,you may not always find them at the bus stop can very well change their rout.
Why it is called hunting.
