Is it too early to set up a trail cam?

I just got a new trail cam and thought my son and I would go out to the land we hunt and set it up to see what's out there and prep for spring turkey hunting. Someone told me it's a bit early to set up a trail cam. We're going to do it anyway because it'll be fun. I was just wondering when you "seasoned" hunters set your cams up.

 

I never put mine away, I have at least one camera out at all times.

 

I keep some out all the time. If you live in the cold north you will want lithium batteries. It is fun to pull pictures. Great to share with your son.

Put it out. What better way to learn how to use it. Also a good way to see what made it through the season.

Bucks still carrying antlers in lots of places. Definitely not too early. Plus getting pics of other critters is a fun year long hobby for lots of people.

 

Deer, turkeys, coyotes, rabbits, foxes and lots more animals are still out and about.

Great time to see how your camera works and the many different nuances of camera placement.


WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!!!!!!!!!

You can never get along with just 1 camera!!!!!!!

 

Same here. I might not check them as often but I leave them out year round.

 

My cams are out all year. I just moved one yesterday.

 

Same here I keep my trail cams out while I feed a corn soybean mix throughout the year

Good way to see what deer made it through this past season.
