Day 6 PlotWatcher Trail Cam Successes

Mike Strickland's Massive Buck

Day 6 Outdoors

Columbus, GA --(Ammoland.com)- A few weeks ago, Mike Strickland was watching a 193-inch buck at 80 yards using his Day 6 PlotWatcher time-lapse video camera, now that buck is up on his wall, and he can see him anytime he wants.

People all across the country are getting this type of result thanks to the PlotWatcher Time Lapse Video Camera. Does your game camera produce results like this?

Not your traditional game camera, the PlotWatcher videos daytime game activity around potential hunting locations several days leading up to your hunt.

When you review the footage, you can see what you would have seen had you been sitting there. Using the information the video provides, you can make an educated decision on when you should hunt and which spot offers you the best opportunity.

The PlotWatcher doesn’t rely on a motion-activated or heat-sensing trigger to work, so the animals don’t need to be close to the camera in order for it to take their picture. Using time-lapse video technology, the PlotWatcher takes a picture every 5 to 10 seconds and saves these individual pictures as an HD video.

The GameFinder video player software comes free with the PlotWatcher and has been developed to give you the ability to watch an entire day’s video in just a few minutes. For optimum performance and to preserve your camera battery’s life, use a 4GB ReadyBoost USB to download your video to your computer.

Stop by the Day6 booth at the 2011 SHOT Show in Las Vegas to check out the new PlotWatcher camera boasting updated features and technology that will help improve the quality and success of your hunts even more.
