Lightbulb Natural Hunting Skill vs Trail Cams

As I sat in the deerwoods today I wondered if trail cams have made hunting by natural woodsmans skill a thing of days gone by. Finding deer sign and using skill and experience to determine what left the sign buck, doe, fawn. Getting in range of the herd to get a visual, stalking and studying with your own eyes the animals you want to harvest.

Lets go hang a few cams and see what's in the area doesn't seen as "sporting" just to use a word, as using your woodsman skill to locate and ambush game not because a cam tells you it's there and what time of day or night but because you have seen with your own eyes what is in that area.

Not bashing trail cams or the hunters that use them... just wondering if we are losing a more traditional method of hunting. I myself love finding fresh sign and then being surprised when the encounter with what made it occurs.
