Are photo scouting cameras ethical -- you bet! They are an addiction. I hunt for all sorts of game -- but the camera allows me to see the woods when I'm at work or have other things going on. I love wildlife and photogrpahy in general, so watching a buck grow its antlers in summer, or watching the development of triplet fawns is awesome. When you go hunt, and actually see the deer you captured on camera it isa great feeling.

Cameras do not kill deer or increase your chances of deer. It provides you in depth scouting of your enviroment without spreadingscentand disrupting the woods. You still have to get out and HUNT. Period.

Scouting cameras are ethical, and fun.

Now video cameras on the other hand.....I dont know???
