[QUOTE="philsanchez76, post: 5003723, member: 20332"] YES!! This is a fantastic point. I like using cameras because they kind of taught me how to hunt during the off season (goal was to shoot as many deer as possible with pictures rather than arrows). I was a late onset adult hunter and had no one in my life that could show me the ropes and I was hunting all public. Someone from another site gave me the best advice ever: hike/scout around in the off season until you bump a deer. So id go to a new piece of public, start at a field, then find a deer trail off that field and follow it until I bumped something. Then I'd set up a camera around that spot. So I was doing all the real work needed to find the deer, but the camera was telling me what deer were there and how often they were using that spot. I began to understand that deer can change patterns very quickly based on available food and pressure, etc. There have been many times I've bumped a deer, set up a camera and then literally had 2 weeks of raccoon pics. Like 102 said, mostly learning where not to hunt. Cam's have also helped me learn what sign is worth setting up on. Theres been times where I've found a huge scrape, put a cam on it and once again had 2 weeks of raccoon pics (why do raccoons love scrapes???!). [/QUOTE]
