    2-3 weeks for me, unless I have a reason. For example I have several I'll will be focused on in the next few weeks leading to the opener trying to pin down a particular bachelor group. Hard to reach cameras in sensitive areas I usually wait for a rain day and slip in and out while it's raining.

    I remember when you had to decide if you wanted to put in a roll of 24 or 36 exposure film.

    Then when you checked it there would 20 pictures on your 36 exposure film. So you had to decide if you wanted to wait another week or just pull the film.

    Then you waited a week for the film to be developed unless you drove the extra distance and paid 3x the money for 24 hour developing.

    After all that, you were really happy if you didn't end up with pictures of raccoons, possums and a stray dog.

    28 years ago, I was 12 and remember my dad being high tech setting this bad boy up near his stand my first year hunting. I remember being so excited to check it to see if it was triggered, and to look for the tracks in the mud!

    It's pretty easy when you live an hour away from the place. I didn't end up running any cams this year for this reason and I want to see what happens if I just stay out completely over the summer
