Now is the Time
We are just weeks away from August and you are actually starting to think about deer season. Something begins to stir in hunters that can not be quited by fishing or any other summer sports. Many of you are now going back out to check out the deer lease and make sure everything is still in tact. High on you list of priorities should be setting out your trail cameras. Now is the time to scout with cameras and find out what trophy bucks made it through last season. If you are a member of a hunting club, you can use the pictures to determine what deer are real “shooters” and what deer should be left for next season.
Trail Cameras
Trail cameras have a variety of uses and are really only limited by your imagination. It is basically a camera that is operated by a passive infrared sensor(PIR). The PIR can detect the heat from an animals body as compared to the temperature of the surroundings. Once the PIR senses heat in motion it triggers the camera to take a snap shot of the heat source. If daylight is low or after sundown, a flash will be activated to expose the picture. You now have the option of choosing an incandescent or infrared flash. The advantage of the infrared flash is that it will spook the subject much less. A majority of trail cameras are also capable of taking still pictures and short video clips.
