RE: patterning deer with trail cams!
I also suggest you be extremely cautious about stomping around a known big buck haunt runnning a trail cam. I would NOT suggest EVER going near a buck bedding area of any other area you think a mature deer lives. Trail cams arte best set at feeding areas and mock scrape to capture big buck images only to confirm that they are in the area and what animals you can wait for. You can then look at times and dates and try to piece the puzzle together and usually assume where that aniamal came from and where he's headed without getting to deep into cover.
