[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 3941577, member: 1409"] I think time of day checked, cam location, "how" you check, and how often checked has everything to do with whether there's much pressure from checking cams. But I do think cams save a lot of bucks in two ways: 1) Getting pics of better bucks motivates hunters to pass up bucks they might otherwise shoot. 2) Many hunters start hunting in a bad spot to kill a particular buck for no other reason than a cam got that buck's pic near that spot. Even worse, they often tend to overhunt those spots, typically almost guaranteeing they will not kill that particular buck. Many hunters can only appreciate what I'm talking about after seeing a particular buck's pics come off several cams miles apart, and have made the same mistakes of hunting more where one of them got his pic rather than choosing the best spot[u]s[/u] to hunt [u]in the much broader general area[/u], an area that may encompass over a thousand acres.
