Deer Cameras Are Not Just For Hunting

Ever wondered what was lurking around your house at night?

I know I have. When my dogs start barking it makes me wonder what’s out there. Now, you gotta know that I live in a rural community that has lots of wildlife, which means that the probability is its either deer or coyotes, but I always wonder.

I have tried to spotlight a couple of times and have spotted rabbits, deer, coyotes and an occasional skunk. Crazy thing is, you would expect all that wildlife would run from my barking dogs, but it doesn’t. If you have a wildlife camera with infrared and video, you can really see what’s out there. Some Cuddeback game cameras and Moultrie cameras have live video feed to so you can watch it on your computer real time.

Who knows , maybe I will catch Bigfoot on it, or better yet a huge trophy buck or maybe a trophy boar!

A great thing about these wildlife cameras is that they can be used for a myriad of purposes. Not only can you catch images of wildlife, you can use one of these cameras to keep an eye on your house while you are at work or out of town.  Because of the technology advance and these things getting smaller and more powerful they would be a really good tool for someone who lives in the city.  Especially the ones with the no flash infrared technology. They make them to blend into the area, with camo or grey or black. Makes it pretty easy to conceal them.

These cameras are also easy to use. There are models for camera Dummies where you just put some batteries in it, attach it to something and wait, all the way up to the ones that will just about drive themselves out to where you want to put it, set themselves up, transmit the stuff back to your home computer and then send you an email!  (well, not exactly…but close)

If  you are looking for a particular brand or type of camera, check out the category tabs, down the side of the page. We’ll  hook you up with great prices on Cuddeback cameras, Moultrie cameras, Reconyx trail cameras (and a couple of other good ones as well)

Here’s a sampling of what Cuddeback cameras can do:
