Readers who don’t have a trail camera have been asking how they ought to go about choosing one. I reached out to a pair of people who’ve sent in videos or photos that have caught my eye, and asked them to share some tips. Scott Hayden got into trail cams in May to combat the pandemic malaise that many of us have felt. The result: His YouTube page, Maine Wildlife Trail Videos. Bud Utecht is a registered Maine guide, sporting camp owner and Browning trail camera dealer. Remember that you’re not allowed to just walk out into any forest and attach a trail camera to a tree. According to Maine law, you must have a landowner’s written permission in order to put a camera on their land. And your camera must be labeled with your name and contact information.
