The technology of using Field Scouting Cameras has changed a lot over the last few years. If you remember the ones that were used even ten years ago, they were usually grainy, motion picture cameras that were intended more as security cameras than anything. If you have noticed how the conventional camera has been upgraded you will understand that the field cameras have taken the same leaps forward. How they Work These cameras have infrared motion sensors that will detect movement and then trigger the camera to capture an image. The real beauty of these cameras is that they can be setup up and left in the field for weeks, even months to capture the pictures of the animals that you are tracking. They can not only detect that particular animal, but you can also get interesting shots of other animals passing by and sometimes people. This can be particularly useful if you are setting them up on private property and you find out that you have trespassers. How to Use Them Many of the tips that are used for effective use of a regular camera also apply to the field cameras.

They also used infrared flashes so the deer would not be scared off and the batteries lasted a long time. I could go away for a while and not have to worry about going back and switching film. Instead I could go every once in a while and just switch out .. more »

The use of field cameras has really changed the way many people hunt, and in fact they have changed the fortunes of many hunters by allowing them to identify where their targets are and when.

Technology of these cameras has improved along with the conventional types of camera. Many now are digital which offers the possibility of greater storage of images. There is also the added bonus of the money saved on processing. A digital camera can take hundreds of pictures, and after downloading them to your computer you can decide which ones are not useful and which ones you might like to have printed. You can also view them right on the camera, so you can see what is going on even before you get back to your vehicle. On top of this, the digital cameras don't have the moving parts that the conventional types do, and therefore are a little easier on the batteries. The conventional .. more »
