    Where should I put my camera out for the summer? Fields are full of cows where I hunt so that won't work. Any suggestions?

    I would get some mineral to put out somewhere in the woods and put my camera over the mineral site.

    I have one of mine facing down a trail towards a mineral block site the other is just facing down a trail. I have not put a mineral block out yet but will at the second site.

    Make sure you place the camera at a 45 degree angle of the trail. will get a better chance of getting good pics that way, and keep it facing north or south to avoid sun fade out's

    Definately a great time of year for any type of mineral supplement. Face the camera up or down the trail, not across it, unless you have a Reconyx or Cuddeback.

    I'm putting it out thursday and I probably won't check it until the end of July. I don't like to intrude into my hunting area more than I have to.
