The Hidden Downsides of Using Trail Cameras in Hunting

It may have been mid-August but it felt more like Christmas Day. With a pair of SD cards, a bag of D batteries and a leather Bota full of water, I was off to the field for the first trail camera card pull of my life. The suspense was nearly unbearable as I neared that camera on the open gate. One week prior, I had placed it there as it was apparent the deer were heavily browsing the neighboring beanfield and using the open gate as the main entrance to the dining hall. I returned to a dead camera and a full card meaning only one thing; I got pictures of something! The suspense turned into pure anticipation as I rushed back to the family desktop to review the card’s contents! I didn’t have to wonder for long.
