[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5458023, member: 20583"] Me neither, not inside the same season a pic was taken. But that's not why i run cameras. Nothing on this year's cameras will factor in to how or where I hunt this year. Of course I enjoy seeing what is or isn't on camera, but I have to look back at previous years to help interpret what I'm seeing this year. For instance, for the last 3yrs in a row I have caught on cam the frenzy of an estrous doe in one particular area, on November 8th. It's like clockwork. Bucks are all over that spot all day. Two of those years I was on stand watching it in person and tagged a buck. This year whether it's her or one of her sisters or daughters, I'm betting my odds of seeing a parade of bucks chasing a doe under that stand on Nov 8th are pretty darn good. I have no idea which bucks it'll be or even if I'll want any of them. But I have little doubt I'll see an estrous chase that day. Another example is scrapes. I've noticed that a very high percentage of bucks hitting scrapes in daylight were doing so while the wind dies to nothing as it changes 180* direction due to a front. If not for overlaying years of trail cam info, I'd have never picked out that common denominator. My cams watch those scrapes 24/7, something I cannot personally do. That is the kind of stuff I'm running cams for. I'm not trying to pattern a singular buck to know when he farts. I'm looking for generalities that teach me about deer behavior, why they do what they do. It's a lifelong study. I enjoy it probably more than I do actually hunting, and I really love hunting.
