Cellular cameras are a tremendous investment. If you use a trail camera as a hunting tool, the money you save in gas and time will pay for the monthly fee for cellular service. I’ve worked with computers for most of my life, yet I can’t wait to log on and see what’s happened overnight on four cameras. Once posted, you will become a year-round deer hunter who checks activity during hunting season and becomes concerned with conservation for the remainder of the year.

Because today’s cellular cameras can function 24 hours a day, any activity near the site will be captured and preserved for your records. Is there a sow with cubs near your stand?

Fortunately, improvements in camera technology have made them easier to set up and more affordable.
Easy Peasy Set-Up
