IMO, you should place your camera out before season for 2 weeks and then take it down and move it. If you aint got him on camera in 2 weeks, well he aint in that area. I know a guy that keeps his camera on his feeder all the time and checks it weekly. Like some deer from 10 miles away is suddenly gonna take up at the feeder. I must be hunting nomadic bucks because this is not true at all on my Barbour County property. Number 1 on the hit list will disappear for months at a time and then magically show up again, and this is not always during the rut. I have had pictures of him for 4 years now and there is no obvious repeating pattern to when he leaves or comes back. The only repeating pattern is that he turns nocturnal just before bow season each year and stays that way until just after gun season closes, regardless of human activity on the property. Of course during the rut, I get all kind of new bucks showing up on camera, all at night.

I have a buddy who leased in Barbour County for years (let it go this year because they went too high) who has bucks only show up during the season. All off-season he only has does on his couple of hundred acres but as soon as the season starts bucks start showing up like crazy and as soon as the season is over they leave. He's the type of guy that can fall into a bucket of d*cks and come out holding a snatch.

I am not certain what I am doing different than many of you....
But, I have no problem at all getting pics of bucks OR killing them after locating them. Maybe it is a fluke?? Low, average, or high deer density?

I put cameras on feeders for inventory purposes. Don't use them otherwise.

I've been questioning myself on whether to use cameras this year or not. Im the kind of guy that will see good bucks on camera on a Monday and lose sleep ALL week long until i get to hunt Saturday morning...i just get that antsy about it. I feel like i may be better off just being surprised of what shows up when I get it the stand.

Before, you had a week to deal with the excitement. Now you’ll only have minutes if not just seconds.

Lol, I already get nervous with excitement when I see one in the field after looking at game pics. If that ever leaves me, I will just stop hunting.
