After looking at many trail cam pictures on this site I bet 90% of them are after dark so unless you are going to be hunting around midnight for these nocturnal brutes how are the trailcams gonna help you. I realize that during the rut the bucks routine changes but the chances of you being in the right place at the right time are far to none. But as far as bait piles go the does are going to come to the baitpile everyday and if the does come guess what will follow. Bait piles are not just unethical they are about like hunting in a high fence preserve. IMO
