Has using a trailcamera ever helped any of you all actually harvest a deer?

I'd say from my experience it has only let us know the quality of deer on the property but has never assisted in actually harvesting one.

What about you guys?

In summer02 I had videoed 4 great bucks in a field together near our farm, but once season opened, they all dissappeared. At the very end of the season, I was checking an open gap in a fence with my camera at the rear corner of our property, I was seeing if any deer were using the opening to cross, and was hoping to get another tag filled before season ended. I got some pics of two of the bucks I had videoed, so I hung a stand, and took one of the bucks on Jan 6 of 03, it was kind of odd, I sat the stand thinking I wouldnt get a chance at one of the bucks, and he came through the gap at 3:45 in the afternoon, moving around feeding on acorns. I wouldnt have even hung a stand if I hadent gotten pics of the bucks. One neat thing, I took the buck over a mile from where I had videoed him in the summer, he was the smallest of the 4 in the video too, but Im proud of him. Lots of character.

Yes.It told when he was coming in and what direction he came from. So after he went noctural I moved closer to the bedding area.

Yep, every year, me and my buddies go up to the cabin and set out some cameras and see which deer are moving wher, and at what times...its really important cause u can see which way the deer are moving week round
