Not wanting to jack Stickerpoint’s thread, i figured id respond to gutone4me’s post “i may have to get me a camera with video.” here
This has been an absolutely awesome tool for us. We leave our cameras out nearly year round to keep tabs on our properties and ensure that our ‘hit-list’ bucks are still roaming our grounds. We watch/fwd through all of our videos besides looking at our pictures every time we check our cards.
-Over the last few years (especially from spring until winter patterns) we have noticed our biggest bucks show up on our videos more often than our pictures. We will get a pic of a buck a few times only to watch our videos and realize that our biggest buck is coming through after him. He may only stop for a fraction of the time that the first deer did (if at all), but it allows us to track antler growth and late season patterns much better than before.
-Secondly, this gives us the ability to pause and freeze frame a deer at any point in time. This allows us (depending on the deers movements) to get a near 3-D visual of his rack. Which is awesome when scanning through the freeze frames.
-Lastly, this mode has given us some awesome sightings. We have had every thing from trukeys to blue jays, wood ducks, wood chucks, mice, squirrels digging holes, deer stomping off racoons, an owl dropping down to pick up somthing out of the food plot, to a wild dog that turned out to be three.
After a few years i just cannot imagine setting the camera with out a video mode set.
You make some great points that I knew but did not really point out. Thanks for sharing Flatlandfowler!
