what happens if I don't already have verizon?  Probably significantly more than $5.  Correct?

I bought the spartan and they have plans through multiple carriers.  You have to tell them the carrier that you are going to use when you buy I think.  If you don't have a carrier already the Verizon deal is $20 a month.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Is anybody operating these wireless cameras worried about somebody locating your honey holes via the IP  address? I would think people with extra money that can afford to buy a program to track IP addresses could and would find your honey holes. Maybe I'm way in left field but I won't use them due to this thinking I have.

I'm not.  I don't think it would be possible, but someone a lot more tech savvy then me will have to explain how they would do it.

I am certainly not a tech savvy guy.  I can say that there are photos posted on huntwa that I can save to my phone and then go to details and some of them have location data attached.  I just downloaded Wacenturion's photos from this thread and I can't find any location data attached to it.

I do have one of these cameras on order and it has shipped already.  Once I get it and start playing around with it I will do some testing and see if there is a way to figure out where the photos are being taken from.

I will bring in my go to tech guy @jackelope.

I'm flattered, but I'm hardly a tech guy.
Unless the camera has some GPS technology built into it, I don't think it's capable of a function like documenting location. And if it did, I believe you have to have the ability to turn off and on "Location Services" like what you do on an iPhone or other smart phone or tablet. If you're in your iPhone and you turn off location services, you won't be documenting your location when taking a photo anymore.
As far as IP address of the camera, I'm not sure how close you can drill down a location off of an IP address without a whole bunch of technology tools. Someone with more knowledge on the subject will have to answer that one.

" 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
