October Lull Come Early - Bushnell Trophy Cam HD

Well, it seems like that anyway. After a long weekend of getting shut out in south western Oklahoma, I am back to work. There aren't many times I can go out to hunt and get completely gassed on deer movement. Does typically move during the day, but nothing this time. Checking the cameras was no different. The deer have been on solid night movement for the past two weeks. Hopefully this weekend's hunt will produce some much needed day movement. The game cameras that I've completely switched to are the Bushnell Trophy Cam HD cameras. These cameras really center the animals well and don't cause any alarm to ward off critters. Trigger time seems to be perfect and set up is way easy. I, like most men, don't like to read instructions. Having an easy camera to set up goes along way in this guys book. Here are a few pics that this camera has produced. I've had the camera for roughly one year, but have used it year round. As far as price is concerned, I believe you get what you pay for. These cameras typically run around $199.95. If you have a bunch of deer and constantly want quality pictures that don't leave you guessing how big a deer really is then this is a great option for you. Helpful Trail Camera Hint: I like to use these cameras at feeding stations. It is obvious by the pictures, but if only to concentrate the deer to one location over a large property. You can really get a good idea of what deer you have in your area. If you don't have a feeder just place a small bit of rice bran in front of your camera and watch the deer pile into the frame. Rice bran runs about $10/50-pound bag, which will last you all season long if you only use it for your camera set up. Plus, at 12 percent crude protein the deer are getting some additional nutrients that corn doesn't offer.
