Water and Feed Monitoring: Keeping Wildlife Coming Back
Every hunter knows that food and water are the two biggest draws for wildlife. Whether you’re targeting deer, hogs, elk, or turkey, setting up feeders and water sources is one of the most reliable ways to hold game on your property. But the challenge comes in keeping them maintained — a feeder that runs empty or a water source that goes dry can shift animal patterns overnight.
The Challenge of Managing Feeders and Water
-
Unpredictable consumption: Wildlife use fluctuates by season, herd size, and weather.
-
Long travel times: Checking feeders or tanks often means driving hours just to see if they’re empty.
-
Wasted time and resources: Overfilling wastes feed; underfilling means lost opportunities when animals stop visiting.
Smarter Monitoring with Remote Cameras
Instead of guessing or making unnecessary trips, hunters can use remote cameras to:
-
Check feed levels remotely: See when it’s time to refill, no matter where you are.
-
Track water use: Monitor tanks, troughs, or natural water sources during hot months or droughts.
-
Spot game activity: Confirm which animals are using your resources and at what times.
