Trail Camera for a Food Plot Inside the Parcel
The plot should sit inside the boundary, not on it.

Why this comes up
The plot should sit inside the boundary, not on it. Photograph the plot from your woods, looking toward the middle of your land.
What to check on the map first
County GIS lines are assessment maps. They are not a survey, and a product will not redraw them.
Open Platbookmapper and choose the state. The directory sends you to the county viewer. Match the parcel ID before you trust a pin on an aerial photo.
A tool that matches the job
Shop the Cellular trail camera when that is the job in front of you. Photograph the plot from your woods, looking toward the middle of your land.
The limit
Hang the camera on your tree and face it into your parcel. A photo does not prove where the line is.
If the line is the real question, call a surveyor. The gear will not answer it.
Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey.
