    I always wait at least a week, but it's usually between 1-2 weeks.

    My hunting spot is an hour west of me so with work and everything I get out there every other weekend. 2 weeks. But man it is an eager wait until then.

    mine are only 15 mins away, but its such a small parcel that im very careful not to pressure them at all. i have to move mine around a bit too, as i only have three cameras on two properties.

    I have 7 treestand locations so I move the two cams I have once a week,unless I find a nice buck.I did'nt check them last week because I have to drive through Sturgis and I want to avoid all the motorcycle traffic because of the rally.

    From daily to once a month. Depends on the camera location, weather, time of season....

    Right now I'm about once a week with the cam I have out.

    My last pull was a 10 week soak on 17 cams, The next pull will be on the the 4 week mark then most cams will come out and be put in areas I dont hunt much or not at all.

    I do like to set a few cams close to my best stands that i can change sd cards when i hunt out of a stand without causing to much intrusion during hunting spots.
