[QUOTE="RockMcL, post: 5457979, member: 23050"] I use cameras some years and don't other years. I enjoy or at least learn from both sides of the argument and there is meat for both sides if you choose to digest it. I choose cameras this year since a broke fence let a bunch of cattle destroy my historic mineral spots and stomped out my "path plots". Totally changing my deer patterns and resdent numbers.. Couple that with a new neighbor (hunting only) on one side and a generation change on another side (hunting only) and a burning desire to prosecute a particular trespasser/thief and it makes sense this year. My cameras are not set up optimal this year and that is on me. There are tricks to making cameras less noticeable to deer, bobcats & coyotes. Maybe that is a good thread for someone who cares to start. I personally have never patterned a buck to the point where I was sure where he would be at a specific time. Experience on my land and wind/weather/outside pressures all go into planning the hunts. I am an OK hunter, nothing to bragg about and am thankful for every deer. I have made plans that worked and plans that have not but still the family is finishing last years last deer and have one from this year below it in the freezer. We do not raise beef and rarely buy it outside a steak house. All that said whether ground blind, sitting on stump, or up a tree, if near a camera I am always set for #1 or #2 to be ghosting around the camera. 2-3 year olds sometimes ghost them too particularly on years like this when I have the cameras set up lower for convenience... Thank you all for your input. I continue to be slow but trainable... [/QUOTE]
