Deer Hunting – Spypoint Trail Camera – Jacob Hacker this is my summer series, this is preseason prep. And I’m very happen to have Jacob Hacker on, he’s the Regional Sales Manager for SpyPoint https://www.spypoint.com. What’s SpyPoint? Well, you’re going to hear all about it in the next hour so. But more important than that we’re going to be talking about preseason prep with your trail cameras, of which SpyPoint is one brand.

Jake, welcome to the show. And let’s roll up and talk about, you know, just the development of the use of spy cameras. Now, you know, security cameras have been around forever, but all of a sudden motion sensors, whitetail deer, and we got a huge industry, don’t we?

Oh, yeah, it’s everywhere. You can’t be in and around the hunting industry now without seeing trail cameras everywhere.

Now do you know the history of when this whole thing started? You know, who was the first guy to figure out, “Wait a minute, if I can use this in my office, I should hang it on a tree”?

I can’t answer that one for you, but I bet he’s sitting pretty and he’s killed some big deer with it though, that’s for sure.

Yeah, because how long… You know, I’m just trying to think. Trail cameras being used, it’s get to be over 10 years, 10, 15 years, don’t you think?

Oh, easily, yeah. I know I started hunting, it was 1999 is the first season that I really started hunting. And, you know, we had trail cameras then. You know, they were 35-millimeter flash cameras, but we still used trail cameras then. So that’s been, gosh, 20 years now? So it’s well before that, I’m sure.
