Game Camera - Trophy Deer Photos
It’s one thing to purchase a new game camera, but it’s altogether another thing to be able to take good pictures. The photos, and ultimately your hunting experience, will depend on your ability to set up the game camera, and to choose the right location. Also, your ability to choose the correct settings for the type of animal and territory will be important.
If you’re hunting thick woods then generally you do not have to worry about bright reflections and harsh shadows. On the other hand, if your hunting grounds are fairly sparse as far as tree cover then you should consider that pointing your camera south during the day may result in sporadic results. Just like normal photography the results will be with the sun at the back of the camera.
As long as you mount your game camera more than eight feet off the ground then you don’t have to worry as much about camouflage. However, like most hunting gear the more you can camouflage and disguise unnatural objects, the more success you will have attracting and in this case photographing wild game.
Obviously you’ll need a clear line of sight to take clear photos. Be careful that you don’t overlook small twigs and branches that your eye can ignore but the camera will pick up as a distinct blur in all of your photos. It is recommended that you use at least a 3 megapixel camera to get enough resolution to enlarge your best photos later.
Two of the most important features to capture trophy animals on camera are the speed of the camera and the ability to take photographs in low light. We all know that trophy deer are usually smarter than younger deer. They tend to wait longer until the light is almost gone before they appear, and they will disappear earlier in the morning before the light returns.
So you need a digital game camera that will take photos in very low light. Infrared game cameras are made specifically for this purpose and do an excellent job of taking photographs even at night.
