The enjoyment and productivity of a PlotWatcher or PlotWatcher Pro trail camera doesn’t stop when deer season ends. Hunters and land managers, once they being to use a PlotWatcher, develop an almost addictive obsession at seeing what’s happening on their property when they are not there.
One unexpected PlotWatcher benefit comes into play during the late winter and early spring. Keeping a PlotWatcher camera active on a food plot after deer season gives land managers a clear picture of when bucks are dropping antlers.
Shed hunting, whether simply for fun or for gathering important deer-management information, is a post-season activity growing in popularity among deer hunters. Employing the scouting advantages of a PlotWatcher will save time and make finding dropped antlers much easier.
The time-lapse technology found in a PlotWatcher captures image of a large swatch of ground, whether it’s a food plot, powerline opening, field edge, creek crossing or woods road. The PlotWatcher takes a picture every few seconds. It doesn’t have to be triggered by movement within feet of a sensor like a standard trial camera, so the long-range scouting possibilities of a PlotWatcher Pro are a huge advantage for knowing when bucks are dropping their antlers.
A buck that had both antlers one day and shows up on the PlotWatcher images the next day with one antler gone tells a hunter or land manager there is a shed close by.
The images taken with a PlotWatcher can be viewed in a time-lapse video with remarkable speed. A hunter can review footage from a 12-hour day in approximately 3 minutes.
The original PlotWatcher from Day 6 Outdoors revolutionized scouting camera technology and functionality. The new PlotWatcher Pro takes the revolution to the next level. The PlotWatcher Pro has the best battery life of time-lapse cameras, lasting up to 4 months on a set of 8 AA batteries. It can record up to 1 million images, which are saved directly to video format with Tru-Video. Using the included GameFinder software with MotionSearch, you can review hours of video quickly and easily find frames in which movement is detected.
Using a PlotWatcher to time the antler drop is just one fun and productive use of this game-changer technology.
