Trail cameras can be very helpful for turkey scouting but to get the best results you need to use them differently than you do for other game. On this episode I share four major tips to use game cameras specifically for turkey scouting.
Take Aways:
- The best trail camera strategies for deer are not the best for turkeys
- Gobblers are shorter than deer
- Turkeys move through areas that deer often pause in
- Turkeys have less size and mass to set off camera sensors
- Birds can walk through areas that deer may go around
- Never trust the specs on a camera, always test it
- Test every camera you put up to make sure you have the ideal angles and detection range
- Check cameras during the middle of the day when turkeys are not likely to be in morning hunt areas
- Listen to the episode to learn how to use game cameras for spring turkey scouting
