Best Setup ofr cam's?

Just curious on what everyone thinks is the best set up location for cams during the summer/velvet season. Other than mineral sites which are ace's in the hole. I have monster trails everywhere and no matter how much I move things around I have yet to catch amature buckin velvet, no problem with doe's and fawn's. It seems the bucks just have such different patterns this time of year. I was thinking of just setting it up on the food source but that limits the range a bit i would think.

I usually get my best pics facing into a crop field. Mainly on inside corners of the field. This year I have yet to get any big ones but I was mainly in the heavier timber. I have 1 facing out into mila, 1 betwee corn and fence/brush line and the other is where my best rubs were located. Don't worry. You'll find that sweet spot.

Thanks, I was spotting last night and saw a 150's class come right out of hte corner into the beans so i think I'm going to move the cam into that corner and see what happens

find an old scrape (last years). scrape it out with your boot and piss in it. this is how i get my pic's.

Once the velvet comes off getting bucks is no problem they become easier to pinpoint with scrapes and rubs. I struggle getting good velvet pics, and I don't think I will piss on a scrape in the near future, that will definetly change a mature buck pattern, sure a someone may shoot a booner over his own piss but it doesn't happento often

if you wish i can supply pictures of bucks (mature/adolescent and velvet/hard bone) standing in scrapes that i've pissed in? my best advice is not believe all of the commercialzed B.S. you hear and see on t.v. until you try it yourself.
