Advanced wildlife cams--will you buy them if you can monitor them 24/7?
Suppose a company comes out with a wildlife camera that you can monitor anywhere/anytime from a computer, in real time. Would you purchase the camera?
For me, hunting is much like fishing. Alot of the fun is that you usually never see the fish before it bites...its like a present everytime, you never know what you are gonna get! So for me, I WOULD NOT but a wildlife camera that operates 24/7 and can be monitored.

I have been told that they already have them out that will allow you to do just that. I have seriously been thinking of getting one as I live so far from my hunting area and work out of the country.

they are already available and they are expensive. Buckeye cam is a wireless cam that can be checked remotely. I love my trail cams, but think this technology takes thingstoo far.

I wouldn't one of the excitements I get from trail cameras is going to pull the memory card and seeing what is on it every 3 weeks. It is just as exciting as hunting and seeing deer coming at you.

Fair enough TexasBowhunter. But for me personally, I just think it would take some of the sweet surprise out of hunting.

I hear ya, I look at it the same as a game camera but being out of the country it would allow me to check my camera from here. I don't know, they might cost way too much to be justifiable, just a thought for when I am sitting here and can't check my cameras for a month and a half at a time....Then again I would not want to know what I missed while I was out of the country.....LOL

I would definetly use it for my property in WV. 8 hours away makes it hard make the trip just to check cameras. Once the price drops I will invest in them.
