Would trail camera work to see rabbits and baby deer hiding in high grass
Hello hunters out there - I am a small farmer and i have grass to mow, which i mow with a bush hog. That bush hog is dangerous and i do not want to run over rabbits and baby rabbits or baby deer or nests of birds like quail and pheasants. But its about impossible to see them in the high grass. Do you think a trail camera could be used to find them in the grass? Are there any trail cameras which can "see" them by their body heat? Thanks for any input.

Kozkat: Trail cameras will not work for what you wish to do. Any movement of grass, leaves etc. caused by a slight breeze will cause the camera to trigger.
What will work is a game finder which hunters used for freshly downed game. These work by detecting body heat. If you do a search for either: Aimshot Heatseeker Game Locator-you tube or http://game-finder.com
Seeing the video on the first one, looks pretty impressive and much better than the second. I have the second one "Model A". which was purchased many years ago and it does work. The one shown in the video has higher technology. If in your case, you had someone walk ahead of you, this may help. Good luck.
