Over the past few years, trail cameras have continued to be one of the most valuable and sought after hunting tools that outdoor enthusiasts turn to when pegging big bucks.
In my opinion, trail cameras are one of the absolute best scouting tools on the market. They give you an opportunity to actually be somewhat “one” with your herd. Photographs really are worth a thousand words. You can easily formulate your upcoming hunt with the vital information your camera captures – determining age and health of deer, travel routes, time of day they’re moving, a rough male-to-female ratio and so much more.
I’ve used Moultrie cameras in nearly every setup imaginable. I’ve strapped cameras to my tree stand, along rub lines, over scrapes, in the middle of food plots, over bait piles, along streams and near fence jumps.
It’s really no surprise that cameras have hit the mainstream and become one of the most critical tools in targeting deer movement as well as behavior for hunters across the country. Finally, outdoor enthusiasts have an opportunity to be there – when, in reality, they aren’t.
Moultrie has changed the game in how we hunt and what we now know about the wonderful world of whitetail. Through photographs, we are able to archive a piece in time and a part of history. In today’s hunting practices, our ability to formulate upcoming hunts and deer travel patterns is much more available and accessible than ever before. Your average guy cannot realistically perform the vital information and data cameras our able to pull in day after day. The records retrieved from these technologically advanced accessories are priceless.
To sum up, using Moultrie cameras provides you a wealth of information including:
• Determining age of whitetail
• Determining health of whitetail
• Locating travel routes
• Finding movement patterns
• Analyzing male to female ratio
• And so much more
There are many ways you can effectively utilize your cameras other than monitoring your deer herd. So it doesn’t hurt to have a couple cameras in the woods for scouting your trophies for this fall and one on the side to tickle your imagination’s itch!
My husband is a BIG hunter and the one thing I swear he is always buying is game trail cameras. http://westernhunters.com/Rifle-and-Pistol-Scopes I told him I'd read up on them so I could better understand why he needs them so bad. Thanks for the post!

Basic Moultrie Trail Cams are also inexpensive which explains their popularity. There has been some variations in the quality of the products though, at least in the lower price group cameras. But in my opinion Moultrie trail cameras provide very good value for your money.

I agree with the post. Moultrie is a trust brand of hunting equipment and they have released game camera continuously, so I think I choose Moultrie as a new cam for this season. Can you suggest new 2012 model for me?
