Game cameras have revolutionized how we hunt deer, but if you don't use them wisely, they may actually hurt your chances of tagging that big buck come hunting season.
Face it. You stink. To a white-tailed deer, you're the olfactory equivalent of decaying fish innards, skunk spray and chicken manure. And don't ever forget it, especially when it comes to hanging treestands.

If ever there was a piece of deer hunting equipment that has been universally embraced by sportsmen, it's the trail camera. I wish I'd bought stock in some of these companies when they first came out. I think every hunter in the woods has at least a couple.
Here in Ontario, bow season for deer is less than two months away. In the time between, there are plenty of things to do, not the least of which is scouting.
If you are like me, you've probably already seen a few nice bucks in velvet in your hunting area and have a general idea of what this year's deer numbers are looking like. Now, for me at least, it's time to get a little more specific.
