Ive never seen any indication of cams spooking elk, but if youre worried about it then hang the cam up about 12 feet

The notion of wiping the camera off to remove human scent before leaving the site is kinda silly to me. More times than not I get my elk on camera chewing on my cords, cables, locks, and even the box itself. Its not a bear box--its an elk box  :chuckle:

This one is in a lock box stuck to a T fence post in the middle of a wide open CRP field.
They're 15-20' from it.
I know those elk haha

Yes you do. And you know where the camera was.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
