Ever forget where you put your trail cams? Just spent about 40 minutes looking for one.

It took me four trips before I found a camera. I was in the general area along a cedar swamp and was all but ready to give up but decided to give it one more try. I move cameras around and have to constantly remind myself where I have them placed. I could take a notebook but I'd misplace that.

Yup, which is exactly why I take such great notes when I've got traps in the ground.

Slightly off topic , but , don't ever put anything on your back bumper even for a minute. You will forget and drive off and lose it.
I am constantly looking when I drive for things in the street ( when it is safe to do so ) , I have accumulated a lot of tools people have lost. So far this year (2020) I have already found a combination wrench , 3/8 6" socket extension and a small pry bar ( all in one spot ) I call this stuff 'roadkill tools' ...lol
I could fill a small toolbox with the stuff I have found. Last year I found almost an entire set of combination wrenches and a tray for them in one spot. Sometimes ya get lucky and find good quality stuff , Snap-on , Klein , Estwing and more.
Leave something on your bumper , it falls off , it is mine now.

A coworker of mine and I were at work one day. His wife walks in and tells us she found a Sthil chainsaw in the road. He was like really ? She says it's in her car. He says bring it in , wanna see it. She brings it in. Nice chainsaw. He's looking it over , was impressed with it and the wife finding it. Flips it over , sees its engraved with ' property of such and such town , highway department'. He tells her , put it back in the car. He lived in such and such town. I don't think they got their chainsaw back.........

I just started using the huntstand APP last year . IT IS amazing. Enter your land and save it . When you put up a trail cam just mark it and delete when you move them . Same for tree stands. IT also is pretty accurate on wind direction.

I use HuntStand for cameras, stands, traps, etc...a very valuable app. Really helps the older I get, lol.
