Don't need it.

They are a great scouting tool. Put em on good food source in late summer to see all the velvet bucks in the area. Then, move em to good scrapes and trails in early fall.

Cell cams are best so you don't have to return to check or swap SD cards. But, SD card pull-only cameras are OK. I have a dozen that all go on scrapes here in late September- early October. Slip in and check em weekly. I'm looking for a good buck...not any buck....and paying close attention to daylight movement patterns...ie which way did he approach from?...which way did he leave? How long did he stay at camera? What was he doing?

I currently have 5 cell cameras that I use to narrow down the patterns (daylight movement)....but when you see this..you need to be in that area next day or two and use the wind correctly.

Permanent/heavy stands are a no-go....useless actually. Get a Summit Viper or Goliath climber or a good HangOn and sticks.
