    How many cameras do you own and how many do you keep out during the hunting season?

    I own 5 and all 5 of mine stay out during the hunting season.

    Counting my homebrews I have about 20 or so. It depends on the time of year as to how many I have out and where. In the spring I love waterfowl pics so I usually have 4 or 5 of the homebrews out, since they take the best pics. But there are 5 or 6 commercial cams I leave out year-round.

    Do you just not worry about your cameras on public land or do you put a lock on them.

    16 or 17 I think total. I would say I generally am running 8-10 cams most of the time on my place.

    Mostly just my 40 acres, but sometimes I will run a couple on some other properties I have access to. Not too often though.

    12 cams on 205 acres and 6 cams on another 86 acres. We try to pull them in the spring for maintenance just to get ants and spiders out and clean them up a bit, put fresh batteries in. Then we usually put all back out around may or June when we are working on next years sets.

    6 or 7 scattered out on about 130 acres. I move them depending on who I'm after and where I think he lives.

    31 currently. I will probably end up with a couple more before too long. It's a disease once you get it. I'm an information junkie
