[QUOTE="KDM, post: 215637, member: 314"] I don't put out cams until a week or so before bow season (3 cameras). I don't want the deer to adjust their daily patterns due to my intrusions into the area. Once I put the cameras up, I don't check them but once every 7 days or so. The idea is to keep the noise, scent, and general disturbance to a minimum. I've noticed that once I start sitting, no matter how hard I try, the deer figure out I've been there and start adjusting their movements. For example, if I sit in the same stand every 3 days on the same good wind, it takes the old does about 5 sits before they start coming out downwind and scent checking my stand. That's why I use two stand sites per hunting spot. It takes a few more sits before the Bucks start coming out later and later. I don't know if that is due to the does being skittish or because the bucks just figure it out. Either way I have about 10 sits total, 5 before the rut, the rut where all bets are off, and then 5 after the rut before the stand becomes "known" to the deer. The rut seems to "reset" their memory and movement patterns. I just hope I have one down before my 5 sits are over. Hope you keep your cams WELL hidden and don't get them stolen. 16 is a bunch on public land. Good Luck!! [/QUOTE]
