I pull almost all of mine mid April. except the ones I leave out on roads or gates watching for trespassers. They go back up 1st of october after the planting is done.

Mine go back out mid June when racks are forming and stay up till end of turkey season.

Appreciate all the replies I think I will put mine back out 1st of June so I can catch them during antler growth and in velvet before bow season starts. I am trying a 12 volt battery out on a covert game camera so it’s a good time to see how long it will run.

I run them year-round. Why not? Why wouldn't you want to see what's happening in spring, possibly with turkeys or predators, deer with fawns, and then in summer with antler growth or other sightings?

If you paid for a game camera, put it in the woods, it can hang on a tree just as easy as it can sit on a shelf in the garage

Ive only got 1 out right now but I will be at the club next week planting and will set out a few then. I don't know if there is an advantage to it but I like seeing what goes on during the summer months.

My club went to a rule this year not allowing cameras from fall planting until end of deer season. That is fine with me. I prefer running cameras post season to late summer. That gives me a good idea of what made it through the season and what is likely to be around for the next season.

I'll be putting all mine back out this weekend. I'm going to freshen up all my mineral sites and get ready to start planting summer plots. I usually just leave them out all year but I had to pull them son that the timber cutters wouldn't destroy them.
