    My mineral site cams stays out 24/7/365. The others get moved around depending on the circumstances - scrapes during the rut, general monitoring near stands, travel routes/creek crossings, etc.

    Beavers have returned to the creek behind my office and I stuck one down there last week for fun.

    I've had three out since December. I've made two attempts to get to them but the snow has been too deep. Hopefully this week I can get to them and put a few more out. But the way this winter has gone, one can never tell.

    Blessings........Pastorjim

    I leave mine out year round, and check them a lot during the season and hardly ever out of season.

    I've only had three out all winter. My Red40 stayed over a carcass for most the months, my MPe5 over a mineral stump, and my S40 homebrew over my turnips. I'll get the rest out asap since we're approaching mineral season and turkey season.

    This is by far the longest I have left this many cameras sit. I have let another camera sit for longer but that is only because I forgot where it was :(

    I had mine down for almost 2 months. Used several to monitor the house when we went out of town during that period. I had thought I was going to be back down to Ohio to put them up shortly after gun season was over but that didn't happen like I had hoped. They're out now though as of last weekend with fresh batteries and watching the Monster RAXX sites and a couple other spots as well.

    I usually pull all of mind around mid January. If I'm still seeing a shooter I will keep them going until he sheds.

    I try to leave my cameras alone for at least a month. Some as long as three months. During the hunting seasons and shed hunting season I take them all in so they won't get stolen.

    I try and hold myself to waiting at least a week even though I wish I could/would wait 2-3 weeks before pulling cards - I just get too excited

    Mine are out 24/7/365. No shelf time here either unless I have an issue with one.
