We’ve all seen the outdoor shows and watched hunting “celebrities” down big bucks on the last day of their hunt. We’ve also seen dozens of deer pour into a bean field on these same shows. Inevitably, my buddies will comment, “I could shoot deer like that if I had as much time as them” or “I could kill them too if I hunted on thousands of acres with custom food plots.” Alas, none of my friends, nor I, have the time, money or resources to chase deer for 14 days straight. Also, none of us own thousands of acres exclusively for wildlife. It begs the question, is success only reserved for the rich and famous, or can an average hunter be successful with limited time and resources? I contend the answer is yes — if you use the right tools.

If you don’t have unlimited time and money, how do you tip the odds in your favor? With a little help from technology. No, trail cameras don’t shoot deer, but with CuddeLink Cell you can understand the pulse of your property like never before.

• The right camera system can save you time in two ways. If you choose a good cell camera, you don’t need to spend time and energy pulling SD cards. This is especially important if your hunting property is a fair distance from where you live. Additionally, images delivered in a timely fashion will help you determine when deer activity is picking up, so you can decide the best time to hunt.
• They can save you money. So, you can’t afford a large tract of land? That doesn’t mean you can’t be successful, even on small acre parcels. The key is to not pressure deer. Cell cameras help you accomplish this goal. With the right cell plan, you don’t need to go into the woods to pull cards. Only go in when you are ready to hunt. Fewer trips to the woods means less pressure on your deer herd. The biggest criticism I hear when talking to friends about cell cameras is the fact that cell plans are expensive. The key is choosing the right cell camera, and the right cell plan. 

I use the CuddeLink system by Cuddeback. There are two main reasons why. First – coverage.  I have great cell coverage on top of the ridges but have poor coverage in other critical hunting areas. With CuddeLink, this doesn’t matter. Only the cellular camera needs cell service. The remote cameras link to the cell camera in a fashion similar to radio technology. This allows me to cover my entire property (I run 10 cameras) even in poor cell areas.

The second reason, and probably the most important factor for the average hunter, is the savings I get from running only one cell plan. Instead of paying for a cell plan on each camera, I only pay one. CuddeLink remote cameras send their images to the cell camera, and then it sends all the images to me and up to nine other people! I pay less than $3 per camera per month, for all ten cameras.

With CuddeLink, I save time and money and one of these days, I may just put the hammer down on a TV buck!
