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.
