    depends on how many cameras you are running. I run 4 and they stay mainly in the same area.

    I move mine to several locations throughout the year, focusing on stand locations the closer it gets to hunting season.

    I'll move one of my cams that monitors my main plot depending on the time of the year. My mineral station cams stay put.

    It completely depends on what I'm getting & what I'm looking for.

    The more you have, the less you have to move them. :rock:

    Most are set in stone, a couple are moved around quite a bit.

    I only use 6 camera so i have to move them to cover all the ground i can and will not be able to get to a fraction of what i want.

    I have one camera that has not been moved since going out in Feb. The others will stay for 2-3 pulls (1-2+ months) depending on what they are doing. If i am not getting the pictures i want i will move it. If i get good pictures then i will keep it there. If it continues to b consistent then i will move it and will bring it back closer to season.


    In early august i will have all the camera at areas i will be hunting. That way i will be able to have them there for about 2 months before season starts and will be able to pull the cards a few times before leaving them be about 2-3 weeks before season starts.

    There are a few that I always leave in the same place. Then I always have some in reserve that I can put out if I see a bunch of sign.
