# spotlight Mastering Trail Camera Setup:

Greetings, fellow outdoor enthusiasts!

As someone deeply rooted in the hunting and recreational lifestyle, with a rich history in Wyoming, I understand the importance of trail cameras in maximizing your hunting and property management experience. In this article, I’ll share 4-5 essential best practices for setting up trail cameras on farm, ranch, ag, recreational, and hunting properties.

Site Selection: Choosing the right location for your trail camera is crucial for capturing valuable insights into wildlife activity. Opt for areas with natural funnels, such as game trails, water sources, or feeding areas. This ensures a higher likelihood of capturing the diverse wildlife that frequents your property. Be mindful of prevailing wind directions and choose sites that minimize false triggers caused by vegetation movement Placement of Camera: Strategic camera placement is key to obtaining clear and informative footage. Mount cameras at chest height for optimal image capture, and consider the angle of the sun to avoid glare. Angle the camera slightly downward to maximize the detection zone and reduce the chance of false triggers. Additionally, ensure the camera is well-hidden to minimize the risk of theft or disturbance.

Camera Settings, Options, Accessories:

Understanding your trail camera’s settings and utilizing available options and accessories can significantly enhance its performance. Adjust settings based on the target wildlife and environmental conditions. Experiment with burst modes, time-lapse features, and infrared settings to capture diverse scenarios. Explore accessories like tree mounts and security boxes for added protection.

Ethical Practices and Legal Considerations: Responsible use of trail cameras is essential to maintain

a positive relationship with fellow hunters and landowners. Always obtain permission before placing cameras on private property, and respect the privacy of others. Be aware of local regulations and hunting laws regarding the use of trail cameras, including any restrictions on baiting or artificial attractants.

Mastering the art of trail camera setup is a game-changer for anyone invested in hunting and recreational property management. By following these best practices, you’ll not only enhance your wildlife observation but also contribute to sustainable and ethical land use. courtesy of Cliff Ferree

We are excited to Introduce our newest Agent Tommy Wiles Tommy Wiles grew up in Gordon, Nebraska on a farm/ranch, putting up hay for his father as a kid throughout the summers in western Nebraska. As time went on, he began working for a well drilling business and has seen a vast majority of the Sandhills and western Nebraska, bouncing through pastures working on windmills and drilling water wells. Before real estate, Tommy worked with farmers in western Nebraska where he ran his own Precision Ag Business working with farmers on water management. “Real estate was always something I wanted to get into, and now that I’m here, I love helping people purchase their dreams and guide them on one of the biggest decisions of their life. I enjoy meeting and talking to new people every day and finding exactly what they are looking for.”

Tommy currently lives in Chadron with his girlfriend and three children. In his spare time, he loves to spend time with his family and friends, golfing, skiing, and camping at the lake. Give Tommy a call at 308-360-2030 or email him at tommy@ ranchandrecreation.com.
