Laura and her husband Jason did a lot of things right to make the Double Main buck hunt a success. One element: proper trail camera placement.
Nothing mucks up a nighttime trail camera photo faster than fog. It tends to settle in the middle of food plots, ag fields, and the bottom of ravines and creek beds – just the kind of country Laura hunted. If you’re pulling night shots that look overexposed, or develop all white, fog is culprit. With ravine country, the only option is to move up to higher ground. Or, as Laura did, set up your cameras on the trails leading into the craggy ground. You’ll get less photos, but more information.
