[QUOTE="Dumbluck, post: 5485074, member: 22434"] Depends upon what land I have access to. I've hunted some farms that had multiple deer over 140 and I've had others that may produce one every 4 to 5 years. Some of those deer sometimes are almost as hard to get photos of as they are to kill them. Before I had a family and kids I used to scout relentlessly especially during the late summer. I could find deer in the summer that I could almost never get pictures of, I would sometimes get 1 or 2 photos of them in a year if I was lucky. I had 1 deer I could find in the summer and we might get 1 picture of him a season. I had another deer that I ran over 20 cameras on in less than 400 acres of agriculture and river bottom and I only got 1 picture of him that entire season. I finally killed him and he was a 9 pt with a kicker that grossed 174. The point is sometimes cameras don't tell the whole story. I remember before we had trail cameras I would find deer in the summer that people wouldn't believe me about, I started filming them and have footage somewhere on vhs of huge bucks over 150 before they became as prevalent as they are today. I was a very happy and excited hunter when they announced the summer velvet hunt, that first year it was open. I killed a main frame 7pt with some junk that grossed over 160. We never had a single picture of that deer and none of the neighbors knew he existed. I only knew he was there by summer scouting. [/QUOTE]
