Default Trail camera placement...

took a ride down to my hunting spot for the first time this season to move some stands around and check up on the area since i was last there, in may.

Well to my great pleasure, as soon as my Father and I entered the woods we were bombarded with rubs, probably 10-15 of them in a 100 x 100 area of hardwoods. We set up a stand in this area (moving it about 50 yards), and i noticed a real nice rub on a 3" thick tree, torn right up. Last year, a buddy of ours took a real nice 140" 10 point in this spot, while two years previousely he took a 135" nine pointer about 100 yards due east of the spot.

My main question deals with my location of the trail camera i have, i placed it on the closest tree facing that big rub, think i will get some pics of the buck or is it too late for them to still be rubbing on trees? There are a ton of acorns dropping in this particular area so im sure i will get pictures, just i hope its of that buck rubbing. What do you all think?

The season opens saturday for bow, and i am torn between this spot, and another that sits up in a thicket, I may just have to do a half day in each! thanks for your input!
