Digital Cameras To Use In Bow Hunting - Prepare For A Wild Ride

By Mike Thompson


Bow hunting is really only fun when you're able to share your experiences with other people. To do that you will need a camera. Although you don't need to be a professional photographer to get great shots, you do need a great camera, some skill in using the camera, and a plan what kind of pictures you're going to take.

Currently, digital cameras are the best option for capturing those bow hunting experiences. The 2 types of cameras for you to choose from are digital single lens reflex (DSLR) and the point and shoot cameras.

While SLR cameras are heavy, it is possible to take pictures of moving objects, like a moving deer, because of their high shutter speed feature. Point-and-shoot cameras, on the other hand, are lightweight and convenient to use, however, the slow shutter speed can be a problem if you plan on taking pictures of moving animals. A better choice is a high-end point-and-shoot camera with a high shutter speed.

Aside from shutter speed, megapixels is another important factor you need to consider. In general, the higher the megapixels, the more detailed your pictures will be. But whether or not it's a good picture really depends on how well you use the camera.

There numerous camera models on the market and although it is not essential to buy top of the line brands like the Canon t3i, it is recommended that you look for suggestions by other bow hunting enthusiasts such as yourself.

Aside from getting a digital camera, you will also need a tripod. Being able to quickly move around is essential for bow hunting and getting a lightweight outdoor tripod of about 6 ounces should be something to consider. Not only is he tripod light, but the fact that it has lots of flexibility will allow you to place it on trees and in the water stream, which will give you great angles for your photos.

Since you'll be outdoors, don't forget to bring some protection for your camera in the form a hardcover camera case, and camera cleaning kit. If you think it will rain or that your camera will be exposed to moisture, bring some heavy-duty ziploc bags with you. There are, however, heavy duty cameras out there that are built for the rough and tumble of an outdoor bow hunting adventure.

Regardless of what you do, you should plan what you are going to do with your camera and how you to intend to take the pictures. You definitely don't want to spend all the time taking photos of the environment because you are trying to have fun bow hunting in the first place after all!
