Does anyone on here, hunt Deer & Bear like your grandfather did ???

Yah know...without cheating with 20 game cameras ???

Nope...why?

MY one Grandpa would have used them

My other one didn't hunt

you could go back to a Spear like they used to use...You know ...to not be a cheatah

No cameras, no corn, no 20' high shooting box, no doe urine or other scents. Just an old school peep sighted 30-30 that has taken a very large pile of deer....

Tirty tirties Suck rat ca-cah

No cameras for me but then I hunt meat, not horns.

I run cameras for Fun.
Killed a couple hundred deer without them and still could.
Gotta ask why the question though. Apparently you like looking at deer cam pics?

I did the 30 camera ( and fancy high $ camo... just about every scent and smell they marketed... and gadgets too) thing and am kinda going back to the belief it makes a better hunter and more rewarding feeling if I don't use them for "getting the monster"!! I gave up rifle hunting deer long ago when I discovered that you wait all year for opening day and 10 minutes after sun up you took a nice buck from 400 yards away. Now they are shooting from 400...500...6 7 or even 800 yds . Either direction that's a lot of ground covered. I'd rather try to outsmart the deer and get within 20 - 40 yds. Way more rewarding. That's just my opinion.. Had to see it for myself. I had some older hunters try to tell me when I was young everything I just wrote about. Didn't want to listen. Now I just hope the young'uns see it for themselves someday !! I still run cameras.... with the anticipation of something unique showing up... not trying to pattern a "MONSTER"!

I dont even own one. Hunt the same way I trap. Look for sign to see whats going on. Read the habitat. Play the wind. Never saw a need for one.

Do the CIA satellites count as cheating in your book? LOL

I’ve never owned a trail cam. One of my daughters bought me one for a Christmas present last year. It’s still in the box.

No game cams. Longbows and Flintlocks only. Harder than my grandpa I suppose…. Hunters are soft these days. Real soft

I put out a camera on my food plot now just to see what’s around. I take it down a week before the season. I don’t want to know if there’s activity and like a little mystery.

I dont think they are cheating. Just dont need one. I doubt the majority of folks on this site need one. IF I do buy one it will be for checking critter reactions to scents.

Please, I need no prayers from you, but thanks.

Have you always been this funny on TrapperMan?

If so, sorry, I haven't noticed.

If a guys has a honey hole that he hunts he would probably not need one if he was limited to those places if a guys had several options they make more sense then. I enjoy the pics I get it’s stuff you would never see if the cams did not pick it up. It takes thousands of photos to get a few quality photos from trail cams. A thousand photos of a weed that grew up in front of your camera still needs attention when you pull the chip.

The last PC I had built was set up just for trail cam use a standard PC would be overwhelmed with that much data from 10 cameras and thousands of photos. I don’t think that I’ve ever caught any more critters or shot anything more by using them because they are a novelty because I’m hunting those spots based on many factors mostly I’m playing the wind or not wanting to burn out an area by over hunting it.

It does give a guy incentive to get out of bed day after day to go hunt but it’s cheap entertainment nothing more my cameras go out in the fall and I pull them in the spring places I can’t go at times but I still get great pics. I’d say I see way more on camera than I’ve ever caught or bagged .

No cameras, no blinds, no deer stands, no camo, no food plots, etc... drivers push deer to the standers, just like grandpa did. No setting around waiting for something to happen, make it happen.
