&lt;p&gt;&lt;img hspace="5" src="http://trailcam.com/blogs/the_official_trail_cam_blog/todd-buck.jpg" align="right" border="0" alt="" /&gt;Todd Graf is the founder and President of Hunting Network LLC, which owns and operates Trailcam.com.&amp;nbsp; As a successful businessman and serial entrepreneur Todd has developed numerous hunting-related websites, most notably HuntingNet.com.&amp;nbsp; As the&amp;nbsp;Internet&amp;#39;s largest hunting community HuntingNet.com has been around since 1995 and currently reaches over 3.5 million unique visitors each year.&amp;nbsp; With the sale of HuntingNet.com in 2007 Todd has shifted his focus&amp;nbsp;towards creating a large network of individually&amp;nbsp;focused websites,&amp;nbsp;beginning here at Trailcam.com&amp;nbsp;and expanding during the fall of 2008 to Bowhunting.com.&amp;nbsp;Todd&amp;#39;s passion for hunting as well as technology naturally lead him to take up an interest in trail cameras.&amp;nbsp; A self-admitted trail camera junky, Todd has owned just about every make and model of trail camera on the market and relies heavily on his cameras not only to keep him busy during the off-season, but for inventorying the bucks in and around his hunting areas as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I met Todd for the first time in the spring of 2004 and began working for him at his IT Consulting business later that summer.&amp;nbsp; As someone who grew up chasing whitetails around the woodlots of Northern Illinois having the opportunity to be a part of HuntingNet.com was a dream come true.&amp;nbsp; I had some exposure to trail cameras via my dad who had two older 35 mm units, but my real exposure didn&amp;#39;t come until Todd gave me my first CamTrakker unit.&amp;nbsp; Since then I&amp;#39;ve been hooked on trying to get as many photos of big bucks as possible.&amp;nbsp; And while I may not always be successful at getting pictures of them, or killing them for that matter, I sure have a good time trying!&amp;nbsp; I current 4-5 run different trail cameras during the summer and fall months, while testing and writing reviews for as many more here at trailcam.com.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img hspace="5" src="http://trailcam.com/blogs/the_official_trail_cam_blog/justin-photos.jpg" align="left" border="0" alt="" /&gt;Our goal for Trailcam.com is to provide a resource for hunters and other trail camera enthusiasts to share information and read real-life reviews about products that we all use.&amp;nbsp; We are not sponsored by any trail camera companies and our opinions are completely unbiased and based on our own personal observations, or those of our staff.&amp;nbsp; We believe that the power of the Internet&amp;nbsp;is in the facts and real-life experiences that we all have.&amp;nbsp; If you are having problems with a camera or accessory,&amp;nbsp;tell us about it.&amp;nbsp; If you have been pleasantly surprised with the performance of a camera or accessory, we want to know about that too.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Keeping people informed about our experiences will help others avoid the mistakes we have made, and&amp;nbsp;make more informed purchasing decisions.&amp;nbsp; We encourage everyone who visits the site to participate in the forums, leave feedback and comments in the blog, or send us an e-mail.&amp;nbsp; If you have a crazy photo you want to share, or an experience you want people to know about, let us know!&amp;nbsp; We built this site for you, so let us know what we can do to improve on it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;As one of the most useful scouting tools available to today&amp;#39;s hunter it is imperative that we get the best bang for our buck.&amp;nbsp; There are a lot of cameras to choose from, each offering a different set of features over a wide range of prices.&amp;nbsp; With the wide variations in trigger speed, photo quality, flash type, battery life, and a multitude of other factors it is becoming increasingly difficult to determine which camera is right for your application and which are nothing more than clever marketing.&amp;nbsp; Our trail camera reviews, photo examples, and forum will provide all of the real life information and interaction that you need to make the proper decision for your application.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Along with our forum and trail camera reviews you will also find plenty of trail camera photos to look through as well.&amp;nbsp; From the monster whitetails of the Midwest to the bugling bull elk of the West we&amp;#39;ve got the photos that trail camera enthusiasts live for.&amp;nbsp; If you&amp;#39;re looking for a place to share your photos with other trail camera enthusiasts, you&amp;#39;ve come to the right place.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We sincerely hope you enjoy the all-new TrailCam.com.&amp;nbsp; We welcome all comments and feedback that can be sent to &lt;a href="mailto:info@trailcam.com"&gt;info@trailcam.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
