[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5793255, member: 17"] In addition to the above, I'm also running a couple of research projects from my own property's trail-camera data. The first is looking at the times bucks are photographed. I go through every picture/video and get the time, date, and age of every buck photographed and enter that in a database. I can then analyze and graph when bucks of different ages are photographed moving around. Currently, I'm only looking at the months of November and December, because that is when we are hunting (and the times I'm most interested in). We do not hunt in October, hence data from October would be of unhunted deer, while data from November and December would be of hunted deer. This apples-to-oranges comparison is why I haven't calculated any October data. Although, someday I will, just to see the differences. I'm also running a study on buck behavior at scrapes. I use the entire season's data for this, as I'm mainly interested in behavior when visiting a scrape, which shouldn't be affected by hunting pressure. For every buck visit caught on camera, I record the date, time, buck age, and which of the primary behaviors he exhibits: working the overhanging limb, pawing out the scrape, and peeing in the scrape (and whether he pees over his hocks or avoids peeing over his hocks). It is interesting to see the differences in behavior at scrapes and how that is influenced by the buck's age. [/QUOTE]
