Getting The Most Out Of Your Trail Cameras!

A few simple tips to help you get the most out of your trail cams this season!

-Have your camera's setup & ready to go before heading to the woods. Less time in the woods equals less time you're out there possibly spooking game

-Some good places to hang cams are near mineral sites, known deer trails, water sources, etc.

-If there's not a good tree to hang a camera in, try using a Stic-n-Piccamera mount. They also make mounts that screw into trees that allow you to get that perfect camera angle, like the one pictured above. (No more sticks in between your cam & the tree!)

-Keep in mind that as the season progresses the deer will change their patterns. Set up your cameras accordingly & be prepared to shift them around throughout the season

Hunting Rub Lines

Some helpful hints when scouting for a good place to hang your stand:

When you find a rub line or a single rub, if you look at what side the bark is rubbed off of, that is usually the direction in which the buck was walking as he made the rub. This will give you a good idea of where the bucks are coming from, where they are going, and the time of day that the rubs were made. Rubs are often created as the buck travels from food sources to its bedding area in the morning, or on its way back to feed in the evening. Hanging your stand along their path and hunting from early season up to the rut can be a good way to take a decent buck off your property!
