camera usage ?

Its a little late for me to start scouting this year, but there is one spot in particular I'm looking at. I know trail cameras are usually used to monitor deer movement. But I'm thinking g about putting one up where i want to put a food plot in to see what kind of light the ground is getting on top of what deer traffic there is there. Would they work for that purpose, or should i just take pictures on my phone once the season starts?

 

You could put it on a time lapse mode and you'll be able to check for deer and light.

 

time lapse mode? Does that just set the camera to take a picture every X minutes no matter if there is movement or not?

thanks for the input, I'm just trying to make sure i understand

 

Yes. Different brands call it different things. Some call it field scan mode.

I us time lapse in the spring to scout turkeys, set the camera on a field and have it take pictures from sunrise to sunset every 5 minutes.

 

IMO using trail cameras that way would be a good idea, but you could get a pretty good idea o what the light will be like very fast, wouldnt have to have it set up very long. In experience, the deer will find the food within a season or two.

 

never too late to set up a camera.
