OK , OK, implying a deercam is unethical is strong words to get your attention, but I would like to raise some questions...
As I hike out of the woods with my deercam in my hands, I’m excited, its got 25 events on it and I can’t wait to get to my computer to see what’s on it. These camera’s reveal a hidden world, a world I could only speculate before I got the camera. I’ve seen some nice bucks on the pics, I’ve also patterned does to time a successful hunt. I’ve enjoyed taking these photo’s almost as bow hunting. However, a part of me wonders...is this piece of technology weakening my deer sense. Is it replacing the time to scout, the knowledge of deer sign, the cunning of the hunt. Does technology like deercams, electronic calls, high tech bows enhance our selves or is it weakening our ancestral hunting skills? I struggle with the thoughts of a time honored traditional fair chase hunt. But, these camera’s are just too much fun.
