WHAT TO DO ABOUT EMPTY TRAIL CAM PHOTOS
For a hunter, short of laying your hands on the antlers of the buck you’ve been chasing, few things bring as much joy as an SD card or app update full of photos of deer. Big bucks, bucks with potential, doe groups, it doesn’t matter really. Seeing deer using your property and showing up on your cameras is one of the great victories of hunters and land managers.
Conversely, pulling a card and finding the vast majority of photos are blank, with no deer in them at all makes the entire process seem pointless. Have a few card pulls like this in a row and you might start wondering why you bother at all. If you use cellular trail cameras, you may be having to pay for a bigger transmission package, or maxing out your package and missing photos, because too many of those photos are sent to you with nothing in them.
