[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5791002, member: 20583"] My approach is a little different. Most of my cam sites are pretty permanent, and if the spot is bigger than one camera can cover then I have multiple cameras. One such spot has 5 cameras. I've got lots of spots with 2-3 cams basically back to back facing opposite directions because a single line of sight often misses more than it catches. It's not out of the ordinary to catch a deer on only one of cams, so if I wasn't watching every feasible angle I often wouldn't catch deer at all that were indeed there. I also have cams that I move around. I'm always finding something while scouting or hunting that I want a better look at, so I'll hang a camera. Once I'm satisfied it's been there long enough to show me what I wanted to know, I take it down. I usually keep a camera with me so if while I'm sitting on stand I see a deer do something or follow a trail I didn't know about or had dismissed, I'll hang the cam to monitor awhile to find out if what I saw was common or random. That's about as close as I get to using cam intel inside the same season I get the pics. By far & large the majority of intel I get from cams isn't immediately or singly relevant. It's the accumulative information season after season that allows me to begin picking up on patterns, trends, and time lines that I can apply in choosing how I approach future hunts. [/QUOTE]
