Went and set up my camera this morning and just before i arrived to my location i spotted a bull watching me. Thats pretty cool seeing he was only 200 yards from where i set the camera up
I feel cameras are a great way to see whats in the area and can help a guy decide where to really scout. Plus its fun to check for the results...kinda like opening a present"). Always a risk of them getting taken but its the chance you have to take. Plus depending on the time of year its very likely the bull will still be where the picture was taken.

Hanging a camera isn't just picking some random tree and throwing out salt or whatever but you really need to be aware of pinch points, game trails and other areas where you believe the animals will be traveling. It makes you look at the terrain in a much different way versus just going out and hiking around.
Sorry if anybody is offended but after crooks hit us twice in 3 years in364 it just really gets to you , then I go into one of the hock shops and the place is full of trail cams and one of them we are pretty sure was one of ours, and for another thing ask what the law inforcement says you will get it real quick, Im not saying IT DOESNT HAPPEN ANYWHERE ELSE IM JUST SAYING IT HAPPENS THERE ALOT. :dunno:Dont get me wrong I use trail cams all the time on my property just to keep track of whats out there and I completely enjoy them until someone invades my privacy or my stalking plans by stealing every thing they see in the woods, I had a officer tell me to not leave camp unatteneded ever he says there is agroup they are after that will spot and stalk your camp wate for you to leave and take everything they can carry but any ways hey I got a picture of a bull from last year lets go see if he is still standing there !
