PROJECT SPYPOINT

With trapping season underway, many trappers know the unofficial season starts in late summer when I inventory my traps, inspect them, and get them ready for opening day

Running trail cameras over a bear bait site isn’t just about getting exciting photos. It’s one of the most effective ways of judging black bear size before the season opens. A well-placed camera can help you estimate a bear’s size, age class, and behavior patterns, giving you the confidence to make the right call when the moment of truth arrives.

Similar to deer hunting applications, cellular trail cameras can provide turkey hunters with meaningful intel on how to approach pursuing mature toms on any property they plan to hunt. From identifying roosting locations to monitoring midday and afternoon habits and behaviors, the proper use of cellular cameras can reveal where to set up and when.

SPYPOINT was honored to receive gold awards in multiple categories in the 2026 Bowhunting World and Predator Xtreme Readers’ Choice Awards. The awards were presented during the 2026 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, putting the wins on one of the biggest stages in the outdoor and shooting sports industry.

SPYPOINT’s Insiders Club unlocks several features inside the SPYPOINT app that help turkey hunters scout smarter, plan hunts more efficiently, and spend less time guessing where birds might be.

Most hunters focus on obvious spots like food plots and bedding areas, and those places can definitely produce. But some of the best sheds come from locations that get walked right past every year.
