Cellular Advantage
1. Eliminate pressure on hunting land!
Most mature whitetails will leave a property if bumped more than a few times
Most experts say "The first time I visit the woods is the best chance of harvesting
a large buck"
The use of scouting cameras has had a slight negative impact on hunting quality
- hunters spend so much time in the woods managing cameras, they are pushing the
mature deer to other areas
2. Enjoy the thrill of the picture every day - don't wait!
3. Reduce costs - It is actully cheaper to use Smart Scouter than tradtional cameras.
