Too much faith in trail cams?

    Say you have some nice bucks showing at one of your hunting properties and you get them on your trail cam but only at night time. What do you do? Do you wait untill you start seeing pics of them during daylight or do you just go ahead and hunt it anyway?

    Trail cameras are highly important to me, however I would guess it can only help me scout 24/7 on about .10 to .15 of an acre per camera. (Feel free to correct my math.)

    If the buck is there this time of year anything could happen and I would just hunt. Early and late season would be a little different for me on how I would react to trail cam pics.

    During the rut I would hunt it anyway. Anything can happen. You just have to pattern them better to figure where the are coming from and move stand locations
