BHC Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 During the summer once every two weeks, about two weeks before the season I may opt to check it once per week, and during the hunting season I will check it either once per week after each hunt, or a few times per week after each hunt Live to Hunt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadonshot2 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I check my cams once a week and always on the same day of the week and time frame. I also switch out sd cards anytime I am hunting a stand I have a camera at. Half my cams are at stand locations and the other half at spots trying to find another big buck to hunt.

SlugsnArrows Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Off season - once a month During season - when I hunt the property I swap out cards Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Blade Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I don't get to put mine out until early August since I am not allowed to access the property until then (management hunt rules). With that said, I will check them at least 2 to 3 times before the season, then about once a week when I hunt. Live to Hunt 1 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live to Hunt Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Will check them mid summer then just before the rut. I have them out just to see what bucks are around and on property. Once I start hunting, the wind tells me where to hunt. Don't have time to mess with Cameras while hunting. It's always nice to know if a big boy is roaming though. 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live to Hunt Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I'm trying something new this year...no cameras. We'll see how it goes....... I never used to use them. I just throw them up to see but it does not and will never dictate how I hunt a specific spot. You hard core camera guys get some awesome pics and love seeing them. I will show mine come mid summer 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shootemandmountem Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Off season, once a month or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gobblengrunt Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I check mine every 2 days. I always check them at the time of day and path I would take as if I was hunting. I let the deer pattern me and get used to my presence. When a mature buck is on its feet in daylight following a cam check, you know he is comfortable moving about and is ready to be hunted. If a particular buck is only showing his presence on days you are not there, you're either in the wrong spot or bumping him from his comfort zone.

Merkel Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Monthly during summer. Weekly during the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcook8296 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I use cellular cams quite a bit so I dont need to touch them but a few times a year for battery changes. Regular cams I check once or twice a month in the off season and then during season once a week I check them at night. www.liftxrentals.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunatic Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) I check mine every 2 days. I always check them at the time of day and path I would take as if I was hunting.

If a particular buck is only showing his presence on days you are not there, you're either in the wrong spot or bumping him from his comfort zone. Too many trips into the woods IMO. Also if they pattern you don't you think the mature deer will avoid the area, at least during the time you are always there? Anyway I hope it works for you Edited May 24, 2017 by Lunatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I stopped using cameras after several occurrences led me to conclude that cameras scare deer. It could just be the type of camera that I used, I know a bunch of you get repeated pictures of mature bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outdoorslife Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Once a month during the off season(sometimes longer) and whenever I hunt a stand or am near a cam during the season. Less is better IMO. I check my cams at night whenever possible which usually ends up in may favor after the kid is asleep. With that being said, Im going to run fewer cameras this season and enjoy my time more. Less work or work smarter(cell cams would be nice) not harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
