    I thought this was going to be a traditional vs compound bow thread based off reading title

    I use StealthCam cameras and can say they are extremely valuable...On our 132 acres I have
    15 cameras out...

    If you have "predictable" deer then I guess no need for you to use them...

    But for us where we have storms that uproot trees each year and logging projects that happen yearly
    it does change the deers "habits"...Plus on our property where we dont have a lot of food due to
    oak trees not producing that year, our property becomes a transition piece and the deer "wander"
    looking for food...Honestly the only habit our deer have is the direction they travel at sunrise
    and the direction they go at sunset...As for the exact place they will go it would be darn near
    impossible to guess without the cameras...Especially if youre bowhunting where the deer have
    to be in close...

    Because of my using cameras I was able to concentrate my stands where the activity was...Up
    till now I only had 4 cameras out...This year, due to cameras intel I went to 2 different places I
    never would have gone and it gave me my best year (a doe in bow season and a nice 6 pointer
    during gun season)...

    One other thing I use my cameras for is to gauge the coyote activity...I was able to see the
    increase in numbers this year along with actual visual sightings and I use this to place stands
    for taking these predators out as well...

    Just my 2 cents...
