TrailEye's and Hunting Trail Game Camera's and Game Pager's

Before the game camera there was the fish finder. These first sonar units receiver indicator for fishermen and boaters were made up of a string of small neon light bulbs. They would indicate where the bottom was and if a fish swam by a blip would indicate that depth. To see the fish you had to constantly be watching the lights, just a blink and the fisherman would miss the fish. The advent of complex electronics soon made it possible to provide fish finders with a screen to show the bottom terrain and fish above it.

The first hunting trail monitor’s were similar except instead of using ultrasound units, heat sensing motion detectors were used to trigger a counter to count the number and record the time of animals passing by. The sensors are also known as passive infrared light sensors or PIR sensors. Normally the hunters were never around so they did not know what kind or size animal was being counted. Even humans were counted.

Somebody added a camera and the first game camera or trail camera was born. Game camera technology has evolved and wildlife photography not only uses film you now have a choice of film or digital game cameras. Digital game camera operation is controlled the same as film game cameras. Digital game cameras still take pictures of game and people alike.

These game cameras still tell you where game was but only when you were gone. They are nice and useful for pre-season scouting. The information can indicate where to best place your blind or tree-stand. But if you want trophies or game for the wildlife recipes you like, the simple game camera is not enough.

Introducing TrailEyes™ Hunting Cameras and Game-Pager™

The next leap in the evolution of hunting game trail scouting electronics happened after the inventor, an avid archery hunter, missed two trophy Minnesota white tails - two years in a row; the first because his feet had gotten cold and he sat down on the tree stand seat to put a heat pack on them.

No sooner than he sat down a monster 12 point snuck up from behind the stand and since the stand squeaked when standing up or shifting  positions he had to just wait and hope the buck would pass the tree and get far enough in front to take a sitting shot. The deer never got in the shot window before moseying back around the tree and disappearing back the way he gad come. He mentioned the incident to the land owner hunting partner who went back the next day and killed the deer.

The next year game camera pre season scouting did not reveal such an animal moving in the same area. Still later while hunting the same stand location late in the season, three doe's moved along the trail in front and he took a shot at the first one.  Unknowingly a large more desirable eight point buck was following them. He did not see the buck until the arrow was in the air. Poof he was gone. On the way back to the truck his agonizing reasoned that in the first case, if he just had a few seconds pre-warning that the animal was coming he would have stood up and been in position and in the second case if he had had a second warning to tell him how many animals were coming and how far apart, he could have waited to see the lagging animal and that it was a trophy buck.

He vowed to not let this happen again and as he clicked the key fob to unlock the truck door the Hunting Game-Pager™ using one or more TrailEye's™ hunting radar units was born in his mind.

The TrailEye's™ combined with the multi channeled Game Pager™ do not just take a picture of what was there while you are gone but They alert you to the fact that something is coming your way while you are actually there on the stand. It can also trigger any number of game cameras you might want it to and also even activate you favorite decoy and or electronic caller.

If you want to make sure that the deer is traveling your direction instead of walking away from you put two TrailEyes™ Hunting-Radar™ units about 30 feet apart. By noting which unit pages you first then second you can be sure of the direction of travel.

After you take your shot and you know it was on target but can't find the deer because of high brush or darkness give everyone in your party a TrailEyes™ Hunting-Radar™ unit to slowly sweep back-and-forth in the direction the deer went. When you get within 40 to 50 feet of the deer's lay-down site the remote should trigger even if hidden by brush. The deer's heat in the form of infrared light that you can't see will look like a flood light to the TrailEyes™ unit. Obviously if you wait over night to look there will be too little heat to trigger the Game-Pager™.

You can not buy one but you can make your own TrailEyes™ Hunting Radar and Game-Pager™. TrailEyes™ Hunting-Radar™ can trigger a game camera or wildlife camera attached to it or more than one remote game cameras not hard wired to it. This way hunters and photographers can get "front on pictures" or from above as well as side pictures. The TrailEyes™ Hunting-Game-Scouting-Camera Trigger™ can also be used as a traffic counter.
