I am not a hunter myself but I've read articles by game rangers who talk about that there are a lot more deer out and about than what people think. I also need to check into homebrew game cameras. I have several old point and shoots that work but I don't use them any longer.

The homebrews take good photos with a white, not infra-red flash.<br /><br />There are a number of folks who make homebrews for sale (not me):<br />jtswildlifecameras.com; the12ring.com; http://www.diytrailcams.com/post/buckshot-cams-6726317?trail=20#1; and more.

(To me, it seems they 'return' every winter with the first snowfall, 'cause that's when i see their tracks). But i could put a trail cam out and see what's coming every night - great idea! Any recommendations for what sort of trail cam i should get?The Furry Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02485265576983125216noreply@blogger.com
