[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 4998997, member: 2805"] I have no interest in shooting a buck that isn't at least 4.5... I use cameras to identify general areas and confirm there is a shooter in the vicinity before I will even hunt an area. I'm blessed to have multiple places to hunt, and there just isn't any need wasting my time on a farm that doesn't have a shooter around. I also use cameras to identify the top end bucks per age class so I don't accidentally shoot them when I encounter them in a hunting situation. However, I only hunt actual camera sites rarely. Just the general area around the camera, usually 200-250 yards away. All four of the mature bucks I killed last year I knew were in the general area and I was specifically hunting those particular bucks because of trail camera pictures. The closest one I killed to a camera was 250 yards, the others were 700-800 yards away from where I captured them on cameras. Cellular cameras are great for hunting transition areas near bedding areas to avoid intruding/ invading the areas. When a new buck that is a shooter shows up in this particular location, we go in and hunt it that same day. I killed a 5.5 yo last year doing that, and this year we killed a 4.5 y/o we hadn't captured on camera for 6 weeks prior on the same day he showed up at this particular location. If there isn't a shooter on this particular community scrape in the past day or two, we don't even hunt this specific area. [/QUOTE]
