I never thought of the ethical considerations of a cell cam. The ones we've had up are more or less the same thing as the DNR's eagle cam. The 80 acres my brother bought is straight woods that goes into more woods....you could see a big buck on it while pulling into park, or even if you had guys in place to hypothetically try and push it towards hunters.....not going to get the deer.....no way no how. It's just a fun thing that makes your day when dealing with bullshit and then get to look at a picture of some deer, turkeys, raccoons, birds, me dumping corn if you're my brother....shit like that. It has been really interesting to see how deer patterns change from before deer season to then changing overnight (deer were all hitting corn in daylight from sun up until noon the two weeks prior to deer gun opener....the day of opener they started hitting during the last fifteen minutes at dusk into dark, all does and fawns, bucks only hit the corn from 1am to 3am and became completely nocturnal).
All in all it has done zero to help our success since we shot two deer (doe & small six point on opening morning) between five guys.
So there has been no ethical concern for us as of yet.
