“As a landowner, checking trail cameras is one of my favorite things. I love scrolling through countless pictures of squirrels and raccoons, hoping to catch a glimpse of the monster buck I’ve been chasing.

While the excitement of seeing monster deer or longbeards on your land is one of the perks of running trail cameras, there are several different reasons why this practice is important!

More Informed Decisions When Hunting

Unfortunately for most of us, we only have a limited number of days a year that we can get out and hunt. Trail cameras allow landowners to keep track of the wildlife they have on their property and know what areas those animals frequent the most during different times of the day. This will help you understand which areas of your property will give you the highest likelihood of success.

Another benefit of having trail cameras is being able to identify what deer/turkey you have on your land and decide what animals are mature and ready to be harvested and what animals you want to let grow into more mature animals.”
