Poll Question #6: Should cell cameras be on time delay?

[tracker]

Going onto the property to manually check cards you run the risk of bumping wildlife out of your hunting area which is fair to the wildlife.
However, any type of camera is still giving the hunter the advantage since they don't have to spend countless hours trying to see what's on a piece of ground. Your still getting 24 hour surveillance but manually pulling the cards and reading them on site your not guaranteed that whatever you are chasing is going to be on the sd card unlike the cell cams where you don't even have to go over to read them.
We could make it real interesting by not allowing any type of camera in season....that would make all of us have to sit alot more than we do now.

Good points. My son reminded me the other day that modern security systems already classify the images that they pick up...vehicle detected, person detected, etc.

So for the purposes of security the technology pretty much already exists to screen out deer, etc.

I have a blink system and a couple of weeks ago it started giving a "free trial" with AI description of motion. It will say a black truck is driving by. Or 2 deer are walking. It's been very accurate.

Question for everyone and I am in the boat of 1 time dump at say 7:00 at night, after hunting light but far away from sunrise.

What about normal cams - I often times pull a card and check it in the tree or before I hunt. Generally to kill time, or see if deer have been using an area consistently. Do we implement the same rule- as in can’t hunt the same day, etc? Just curious everyone’s thoughts.

Interesting thought, I'd say no because your Intel is most likely hours old but it is still Intel. Which is up for another discussion.

Absolutely... you can program a camera at certain levels to notify you on specific "items" if you wish. Not sure we are there yet for trail cameras but software exists if you data dump into an A.I. progrum and tell it to only look for a certain characteristics of a deer (meaning you can only get pics of the buck you are looking for, it will only send you those. Even better if u already have a sample. )
