Cameras are a tool no different than the apps people use for info and corn is bait no different than a food plot. I don't think it makes you better or worse of a hunter. If people want to go primitive and chunk spears at them then go right ahead. If you want to hunt over a corn pile with a camera go for that too.

🤣😂🤣

Man I agree, its why I recommend folks do more squirrel hunting.

I wish I could find a place loaded with fox squirrels.

At least folks used to have to watch out the back window for yard deer to show up......Now the camera just sends you a pic to alert you that he's at the corn pile..........

2 of my best deer run from the cams. If it ever get dry enough to drive on lease - all my cams going on roads

Probably saw a buddy get whacked in front of one.......

🤣🤣

Playing 3 sides of the coin - heads, tails, and sides - I think there has been a great benefit to this corn and camera situation that nobody talks about. What about all those up and coming bucks that are passed because an El Muy Grande was captured on camera at 2:30 one night? My sons and I do that on my place pretty regular. We usually do some pre-season and early season camera work with corn and we usually identify a few bucks we wouldn't mind killing. We hunt those bucks or new ones that may show up in that same antler class and leave the dinks and baskets alone. I cant be the only one doing this... although i can appreciate the mindset that Billy Bubba with a game cam and sacks of corn shoots whatever shows up.

I enjoy checking pics. I got 1 old school non cell camera over 2 feeding areas (flash less than cell) and one cell at a wooded spot. You know more about your heard!!

All deer are different - but my really good amd also mature deer - act like they hate cameras. Hav for years!! Most of mine going to a road when i get next chance. Got a stud 7 - big - got his pic one day - acted like he hated the camera - aint been back. Got snother stud 7 - he went down in rack size some this year - got him multiple times acted freaked out to camera - even got running away pics 🤣🤣. Dont come around much. I get these with most of my really good mature bucks - not all - but most.
One of the bettr hunters i know told me - if u want to kill really good mature bucks - take the freaking camera down!!

My big field only has camera in it early season. That way last year - most of my fields about to get that way - doing for pressure - stress only

I could give a crap what everybody else does 😀

So you have corn feeders with cameras on them but you don’t hunt in the area of the cameras?

Why do you put cameras on them? Why not put your cameras where you are gonna hunt?

I’m not knocking your method at all. Just trying to understand your reasoning is all.

Not sure about how/why wk2hnt does his thing. But for me I just like knowing what’s on the property. I have four patches with feeders on them that never get hunted and most likely never will. Literally one field has been hunted once in the last 4-5yrs and the others have not. That was only because the wife wanted to go watch some deer on “her” patch one evening. I use those areas as sanctuaries. Only time I go in there is to top off feed, camera maintenance and planting.
