I do and it is one of the most successful methods for me and the best part is I dont have to do the scouting it does it for me, Some of you may have wanted me to post it on trail camera's section well I did there to but more people look here so what I wanted to know is if you do use them can you please tell me how you like yours and send me a night shot that would be great thanks, The reason I want the pictures is because my camera is old and junky so i'm lookin for a new one.

I don't. I have a couple and sometimes I set them out behind my house, but they serve no purpose of gathering pertinent information for killing deer. I just liketaking pictures of deer.

Yep I do!!! And my cameras helped my hunting group out very much this year. I used the camera to scout a few different deer. A buddy of mine from Florida killed one of them and My brother-in-law killed the other. I had gotten pictures of both deer just a few days before they were harvested. I also killed a nice buck off of the same farm but unfortanately I did not get a trail cam pic of my deer. By the way the trail cam pics are taken with a 2.0 megapixel stealthcam.

Here are the before and after pics of my brother-in-law (22 series)



Here is a before and after pic of my friend from FL with his buck.



Here is a pic of 22 series and myself with the deer I killed.

I have 4 of them set up in my woods it helps us pattern the deer movements.Which food source they are going to first and what time of day.It also tells me what time I have to be in a stand. They are a usefull tool and looking though the pictures is fun.

Martin Murphy, if you dont mind me asking you, why are 90% of your post about requesting pics, most of which are down game?
