Most of these guys with the money or sponsers giving them everything..run cameras that they never have to disturb. Those that email pix. If I had the means, I would. Nothing better than sitting at work and getting real time photos emailed to you instantly!
Are you sure of this, or is this just want you think you're getting? I would've predicted similar numbers if I hadn't sat down and gone through all of my 2010 photos, only to realize the % of daytime photos is much greater than I originally thought it was.
That's pretty much what I'm getting but you have to take in account I set most my cams up at what I consider night points anyway. I never hunt over them, and set them basically for inventory purposes. I'm not trying to figure out where to set a stand, but basically wanting to get an idea what I'm chasing If I set cams in where I hunt I would expect different numbers, especially from the younger bucks Dan
I picked up a WGI x6c last fall. It's a very small, compact camera and I can stuff it in my pack. I've already been walking out of the woods and came across fresh scrapes and mounted the cam on the spot to see whats been visiting it. Usually, within a day or two of doing this I'll get pics of bucks visiting the scrape at night. I find it pretty cool and with these cams getting smaller and smaller, makes it easier to do this. I just find it difficult to believe that if you keep scent to a minimum, and be smart about not checking the cam too often and what time of day you check it, you're going to bump that many deer.
I learn what's out there! Does anyone need to learn something else? We can also learn who's tresspassing Dan
x2 I a big fan of that cam... I carry one with me in my day pack for just the same thing. I drive my old truck almost right up to the cam or withen twenty yards most of the time during miday just like a farmer would i am not there more then a minute tops and drive off 2-3 weeks apart,some cams for months at a time. i set up cams in the same manner usually before a rain if i can or i spray everything down with scent killer xp before i leave. Doe's have gotten used to my truck i drive slow and the dont even runoff anymore. So if the does dont feel i am a threat i should be good. I have cow farms on both sides of me so seeing a truck driving around is a everyday thing here. theses guys are always checking fences because there cows are eating my crops and i tell them ''steak is whats for dinner.''
