Germ, I think that this falls into the fence/guide thing where people start thinking that cams "make it too easy."

There is something in some hunters where the reward is all in the challenge. I have some of that, which
is why gunhunting is less thrilling to me.

As to cams being a "quick fix," before there is any pressure in the late summer they often follow similar
daytime patterns, but by the time bowseason started the summer patterns were off and the big bucks
were unpredictable and mostly nocturnal (till the rut).

So, a good way to look at it would be as simply a tool to increase your odds (like finding rub lines).

BTW Germ, my last 2 bowhunts had different spikes walk almost right under me (in a ditch as planned).
Given my season, it was tough to pass those bastards. [:@] I just need to get on the board and the does
never wanted to cooperate. [&:]
