I put this in the hunting section but it really don't involve hunting unless its being used as a scouting tool. Guess there's a lot of reasons to cam, see what animals are in your area, see what size game is in your area, see what amount if any people are in a given area, hope for a pic or video of sasquatch , get looks at animals you would never normally see, security on camps or homes, get pics of mice on up to large moose and bears in my area. I started in the mid eighties when only two companies were making them, they were pricey and used film and a normal flash. I didn't take long to discover that bears had a thing for the film smell and were capable of ruining your day by giving them a durability test right quick. Before long digital cams with IR flashes came along and the film expense and developing costs went away. Then no glow flashes and sound and video appeared. I have taken thousands of pics and videos and had a lot of fun as well as learning animal patterns and movements. Still use one to this day, heck I even made an epic fall going in the woods to get my cam last Christmas that operations and therapy, as well as time hasn't fully erased yet. But that's life and things do happen, learned to always have a headlamp with me in the dark. Does anyone else play with these things or is it just my addiction?...…..I do have some unbelievable buck and bear pics though.
