[QUOTE="Kirk, post: 4999037, member: 967"] I have been running cameras for at least 18 years. My camera usage started back with the old film cameras that took12-24 pictures then it was over. Cost a fortune to have them developed and printed. Didn't learn much from the cameras until the digital formats came along. Then the deer world changed for me. I finally had enough picture capacity to actually see several days, even weeks of deer movement. I have literally watched fawns grow into to adults using the cameras. Most deer look very similar but some are so distinctive you can name them and watch them over a couple of years. A scar, a white patch that is little wider, and even size helps me identify specific deer. I had an old doe several years ago that was nocturnal, never ever once got a daylight picture of her. She was huge compared to the other does and had a place on her shoulder that looked like and old injury. At first I thought she was an antlerless buck but changed my mind when I saw she had fawns the next year. I named her Megadoe and watched her for at least 5 years. One day the pictures of her stopped. I will admit it was upsetting that she was gone. All this to say, cameras will educate you on the deer you have on a property. Might not see them all but it will give you a great idea of how many and what quality of deer you have. [/QUOTE]
