i put a camera out over a scrape tuesday evening, and checked it today. this is on one little area of my property. i had 9 different bucks and several groups of does and little ones. we have had just as bad of a weekend as everybody else though with this weather and moon phase, but i'd think there were no deer unless i ran cameras AND knew better. just a little fyi.
Everything woke turns to shucks

I had 3 or 4 fawns make it with 4 does that are around the house. The does keep the fawns within a hundred yards of the house when they're young. I guess they know my dogs keep the yotes run off.
Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

Could it be that the mature deer are becoming aware of the fact that a camera is linked to a hunter? Thus restricting their movements in that area. You leave sent every time you visit your camera no matter what you do. If that deer relates that sent to killing would it not frequent that spot? I know large bucks will avoid corn piles until after dark due to so many being killed over it. Even though it is illegal it has still occurred. Nope

Older they get the more cautious they become. I give mature bucks credit for being "smart", but you're making them out to be the smartest animals on the planet besides humans. Maybe smarter than some humans. Oh wait, you're the guy that puts sugar in cornbread , carry on.

There is certainly a lot of evidence that supports the theory of selective camera avoidance.

I have moved nearly all cameras to active scrapes now. Getting pics of a lot of deer that are not hitting nearby food sources.

It don't mean they can reason that they will be shot though .. I think the click the Camera makes scares away the older wiser skittish deer .. Have a pic of one stud 10 pint with split brow tines . You can tell by his posture when the picture was took that he spooked. Both front feet firmly planted , looking straight at the cam . You could tell he was spooked .. Never seen him again .

There is certainly a lot of evidence that supports the theory of selective camera avoidance. I have read this also but in my case we run a camera on our food plots (21 total)the entire season so most of our deer must be avoiding the plots both day and night for this to be the case. We only check these cameras once a week maximum usually longer since they only get checked if we hunt the plot.
