Disclaimer: I don't put out cameras. I know lots of information can be revealed with them but I started using cameras back when they actually used film that you had to get developed. It took me about 3 seasons to realize that I never saw any of the bucks that I had on film, so I quit.

Therefore, my question is: how many of you guys have proven camera strategies? I'm interested to hear from the guys that have killed more than 1 or 2 mature deer that they had on camera. When do you put them out and pull them? My hypothesis is that the longer an area rests with no human presence, the higher likelihood of seeing mature deer in daylight. Does the area need a month of rest? Two months? Longer?
