wireless game cameras, up all year long?

[hogpatrol]

With wireless game cameras costing ten bucks a month for the service, is it worth continuing it for the entire year. This would be primarily for deer hunting.

Yep. And feed corn 365 days a year. I just slow the feeder time down.

I took my camera's down today.
This guy showed up for Turkey dinner yesterday.

Depends where you live. In MT no game cameras while any big game season is open so we have a few weeks in the summer to have them up

mines out all year, but not wireless, pull the chip every morning. It's easy when you live right there, feed year long,,

No wireless cams, but I run a handful of standard ones. Usually pull them in March or so and put them back out late summer to start tracking velvet growth, finding movement patterns etc for the upcoming season.

I like to run them year round. Kinda cool seeing how long they can hold onto their antlers and how quick they start growing them again.

The ones I have in Pennsy, I can get the pics in Africa. All you need is cell service or a wi-fi/internet connection.

Thanks, that’s pretty cool.

We have three Bushnells and one Snyper but they all pretty much work the same. An app on your smartphone and you can view photos, videos and set camera parameters. The Bushnells have GPS and since it's basically a cell phone, if stolen and turned on, it's location can be tracked.
