    Do any of you guys check your cameras at night? I usually check mine in the middle of the day on the weekend or when I'm getting down from the stand but I work nights tomorrow night and need to stay up tonight so I can sleep during the day tomorrow so I decided I would walk out back and check my camera. So I wondered if there was a advantage to checking them at night. It's not like you can make them nocturnal by spooking them at night. What are your thoughts?

    Good question! Start spooking them regularly at night and see if you start seeing more movement during the day. ;) If that holds true I will start doing the same thing. :tu: I don't have a legitimate answer for you as I have never done it.

    Like that idea Heckler would be cool if that would work.

    Seems like too much work to get out to check a cam in the middle of the night.

    In theory it sounds like it should work but the majority of my cameras are on/near food sources so I stay away anytime the deer may be there.
