[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5825871, member: 17"] Not to get too far off topic, but something to think about and keep track of Tellico4x4: I keep records on "what a camera is pointed it" and then compare data between major categories. Doing this can illuminate just how "powerful" [B]what a camera is point at[/B] can be. Here's some data from this year: Camera pointed into food plot bucks 1,693 does 2,697 fawns 1,264 adult sex ratio (does/buck) 1.6 fawn recruitment 46.9% Cameras point at isolated scrape in the woods bucks 567 does 232 fawns 111 adult sex ratio (does/buck) 0.4 fawn recruitment 47.8% Cameras point at scrape in old road/trail bucks 776 does 327 fawns 155 adult sex ratio (does/buck) 0.4 fawn recruitment 47.4% Cameras point at scrape on edge of food plot bucks 1,149 does 711 fawns 346 adult sex ratio (does/buck) 0.6 fawn recruitment 45.3% Notice the huge difference between adult sex ratio for cameras pointed in food plots versus any of the scrape set-ups. I still use all of the data for calculating my adult sex ratio, but I also track each of these categories separately. Sometimes, one changes from year to year dramatically, while others don't. Just interseting to keep track of and can be an eye-opener about sex ratios. However, what really freaks me out is how close all of the fawn recruitment numbers are between categories. THAT never happens. Until this year! 🤔 [/QUOTE]
