2 week trip and trail cams?

[ureyes]

I am wondering how many folks use trail cams for scouting when they go on 2 week hunting trips?

We are heading out for 2 weeks in October and I have considered taking the trail cams and using them for a scouting aids. Although I'd like hear if guys have found this to be more of a hassle than a help when you only have 2 weeks in an area......and also with them being on public ground there is risk there as well.

have you used them on short trips?

I have not used them but have heard of guys using them for bear. In one instance a guy passed on a good bear because he had seen a great bear on cam. He ended up getting the great bear a couple days later. He said he would have shot the good bear if he hadn't seen the great one on the cam.

Check Regs too. Some states dont allow trail cams during season

Great for trophies , maybe not so good for meat in the freezer. We got a trail cam this year ...to determine the predators in our yard , I considered deploying it for hunting but opted not to. I don't want to pass a a sure thing because I know a great bull is around and then not have any meat.
