    So, recently i decided to try and make my cams blend into there environment a little more. This prompted me to go the Ultimate Camo route. The tape looks GREAT, but when i applied it to my cameras...it didn't go on so well. It doesn't like corners very much. Either way, all three of my cams (Cuddeback, Moultrie, Stealth) got a new look...albeit probably only temporary at this point.

    My goal was to place all 3 cameras in possible strut zones in different areas, and find a spot to put my blind for some bowhunting on camera action.

    Heres a view of the Moultrie Zone:

    All three areas are similar. All are on old logging roads, and located on ridge tops or next to a valley. Perfect places for Gobblers to be seen. Also, all are between 50 and 200 yards of roosting zones and in places known for strutting activity.

    They have been out a few days already, and i will be checking them Sunday night when i get back from my PA trout fishing trip.

    The Stealth Cam spot was a fail. Got some pics of a few hens and thats it. I moved it to one of my alfalfa fields. The Moultrie was moved to a new strut zone as well, and the Cuddeback is still in the same spot.
