Deer & Turkey Spectacular New Seminar: Trail Cameras
OutdoorHub 02.12.12
Les Davenport will share with you at the upcoming Field & Stream Deer & Turkey Spectacular — in seminars and at his demonstration booth –what he has learned, both good and bad, during several years of working with, testing and using trail cameras to help him find huntable, shootabel big bucks. All seminars are free once you have purchased your general admission ticket.
The Spectacular will be February 17-18-19 at the Lansing Center in Lansing. This event and similar events in Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin have been purchased by Bonnier Corporation, parent company of Field & Stream and Outdoor Life magazines, from Target Communications, the previous owner, and renamed the Field & Stream Deer & Turkey Expos, presented by Remington. Outdoor Life will sponsor the seminar series at each expo. The expos will continue to be produced and operated by the previous management team. Expo quality and content depth you have come to expect over the previous 25 years of the event will continue.
Davenport notes that he uses gloves and a scent killer to eliminate human (hand) odor from the camera itself (to get rid of any association). “I test for trigger speed, flash range, photo clarity, and other items,” he says. “Proper height is very important when using nearly all cameras. Usually six to eight feet off the ground is sufficient on level ground. Most cameras are set too low. Trail cameras spook fewer deer if they are placed high and angled downward. Incandescent or infrared flash can be detected by deer when the camera is at their eye level. That’s why they should be set above the sight-plane of deer.”
Davenport also will talk about the value of daytime photos, how to adjust for a buck photographed only at night, and other techniques that can make trail camera information helpful instead of just a pretty picture.
“The Field & Stream Deer & Turkey Expo events are the largest and most comprehensive of their kind,” said Jay Miller, Remington Brand Manager. “The events attract thousands of passionate hunters. We’re very appreciative of the opportunity and we’re excited to be part of these must-attend events for sportsmen.”
There will be nearly 250 exhibit booths, many with new products and many offering great bargain, and more than 40 how-to hunting seminars. Seminars are free once you have your general admission ticket.
