I don’t use trail cams for hunting–have no problem with those who do–but cams have become a whole new off-season sport for me. It’s the unexpected critters and behaviors that are best, like three adult mountain lions on the gut pile at my elk kill this year. And many times elk, bears, turkeys, once even a weasel, have stuck their faces right into the camera. Photo quality has become so good, if you have the light angle right and no distracting junk in view, trail cam pics can be as good as those we take ourselves and in my case better. Video would be even better but the batteries wouldn’t last any time. By the way, if you’ve not discovered lithium batteries, they have many times the life of anything else and aren’t so affected by deep cold. I use nothing else now in all my outdoor gear, even flashlights. That is a big bobcat.
