experiment
« on: April 28, 2010, 10:01:12 PM »
got me an m40 off ebay today (with bad flash... I'll have to remedy that).

and got to thinking, fun things to do with a trail camera... experiment.


No, not that kind of experiment!

I've read smoking = bad and that it doesn't matter, or this that and the other does or doesn't matter.

I plan to set the camera up in a spot I know deer wander through (not sure when or I'd have bambi in the freezer), and do a week just the camera, then a week with something up there that smells like cigarette smoke, then move somewhere else and repeat with an oily rag or something, etc....

Anyone have any ideas on how to make this a successful test?

If you had the deer patterned for sure, it'd be interesting to see how cigarette smoke in the area changed their behavior.  I remember seeing a thread on here and it was astounding how many people smoked and smoked while hunting.  To draw any real conclusions though you'd really have to know the deer.

I was taking a cigarette break while ebaying game cameras.



I was thinking I'll only be able to test passive smoke... not matter how safe I could make something to burn some tobacco every so often I think it'd be a bad idea to leave such a device out in the woods.

My Bro's goat would steel your lit Cig from your hand and eat it.  :bash: Deer have goat like stomachs  mabee a swisher sweet would be an attractant?  :dunno:
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.
