[QUOTE="mathews338, post: 4358874, member: 7771"] I have a friend that runs 10 or more cameras on about 200 acres because he feels that is the only way to know for sure what is using his property. I agree that only 1 or 2 cams isn't going to capture every buck using the property but I have told him more times than I can count that he is hurting his chances of killing those mature bucks. Every year he gets lots of pics early in the season and some are absolute studs. As the year progresses he gets less and less pics. His neighbors for the last 3 years in a row have killed the biggest buck he had pics of. I only run a few cams and only before the season, the bucks are there and I don't need a cam to tell me that. I have been on tndeer for a long time now and have kept up with Ames a little. I have often wished it was closer or something real similar was close by. It does seem like there should be more mature bucks killed every year on a property like Ames. I know some of you guys are probably extremely picky and may pass several bucks that are just a tad above the minimum. Also have to consider the fact that a lot of the members may have the money to hunt there but that doesn't necessarily mean they know how to hunt for mature bucks. How many members actually hunt hard enough to kill mature bucks with consistency. I'm not smart enough to kill a mature buck in only a few days, I have consistently killed mature bucks for the last 10 years or so but I have relied on a ton of time spent in the woods. [/QUOTE]
