Trail Camera Strategies: How to Scout Big Bucks This Summer

If you’re hoping to tag a mature buck this fall, the real work starts now. July and August aren’t downtime—they’re when the patterns begin. But it’s not just about hanging cameras and hoping for the best. It’s about understanding why deer move, and when they’re most likely to do it.

Forget outdated moon phase charts. The MoonGuide app uses gravitational positioning—overhead and underfoot moon times—to predict peak daylight movement with pinpoint accuracy. When that data lines up with trail camera intel, you’re not guessing anymore. You’re planning.

This isn’t about getting more pictures. It’s about making better decisions.
