The Camera Squeak That Lives

If any part of your camera gear squeaks, more than likely, you will spook the animal you’re trying to video, and the critter will have to be left to be hunted another day.

Distractions are the name of the game when a big buck is coming in close toward a hunter. Having to itch, scratch, cough, clear your throat, swat mosquitoes and/or pick ticks in warm weather, or perhaps the weather is 10 degrees below zero, and your nose is running like a water faucet, will each cause you to break concentration and possibly spook a buck when he’s in close.
