Preacher, I think everything you said is true. I actually posted in another post yesterday that hunt exactly as your described... I hunt based on what the camera shows and it works for killing big deer. On the other hand, running cameras I think is the only way to effectively run a true management program if that's what you at into. We decide which deer we are gonna take based on trail camera photos. No way to do that once you see a deer in most cases. The flip side is running cameras can be very discouraging. I remember years ago hunting buck sign and dreaming of how big he might be when it probably wasn't that big of a deer.... Cameras take that unknown excitement away.
