I use a trail cam, but for entertainment purposes. I never put it near my stands anymore - I used to. That is not to say I wouldnt take advatage of information it gave me, but it hasnt happened yet. Baiting is illegal in IA, and Idont do food plots - I do utilise existing food sources which sometimes are very concentrated - and quantitatively the same thing.

Still, every mature buck I have been blessed with was not a result of bait, cams, or food plots. Thats not to say that will be true in the future, but for now I just enjoy old school hunting. That is true with a gun and a bow actually.
