Wireless Game Cameras seem to becoming more and more popular these days and for good reason. There are a lot of advantages with these wireless cameras. And now more than ever they are easier to use like the Spartan GoCam for instance. For me there are two big reasons for getting a wireless camera vs and standard non wireless scouting cam. The first reason is obvious. You don't have to spend time, gas and energy checking your camera. And by not walking out on your property you are not leaving scent. You are not putting unwanted pressure on your herd so when you do get a picture on the big whitetail or other big game you will have the element of surprise on your side. And that is an absolute huge advantage. The second big advantage is getting the pictures when you need them. Lets say a big buck came by your wireless camera in the AM and it's late October and he was heading to a good known doe bedding area. You could by all means slip into his travel corridor and hope he uses it to go checking for more does in the evening. They also work great on food plots and it makes it easy to predict buck movements according to weather and wind direction. 

  Wireless Trail Camera Cons. This basically comes down to cost. For everyone you have out you have to pay for a service plan. And not to mention they are more money to buy and a solar panel is also and good idea and added expense.

  This I why I have both. I like to run quite a few cams and some of the are just on field edges. I hang mostly Browning game cameras on spots that are not that intrusive. I also hang them on trails coming out to openings where the deer will not be so alarmed by human scent. I use my non wireless cameras starting in May to get a good inventory report. Being the main advantages of the wireless cameras are scent free and instant pictures I start using them shortly before hunting season opens. I might replace a standard camera with a wireless one if there is recent buck activity that I think I could capitalize on. If I'm not getting any pics of the quality of bucks I'm after I will keep moving them and also move them from food to bedding and pinch points as the season get closer to the rut. There are a lot of different trail camera tactics that you can experiment with. You just have to get out there and use common sense. Both types of trail cameras have there place in the deer woods and I prefer to use both and the same time.  Thanks for reading!
