I still love having mine out and running it, but last year I didn't have as much time to keep mine out. To me, I don't see them being an advantage. You have to think the area where you are setting the camera up has deer or else it would be pointless to set it up. This is where you scouting/knowledge comes in to play. You are not going to just walk in to any area and just plop a camera on a tree and get a pattern of a huge buck just like your not going to go set up a stand and have a huge buck pass by the stand on the minute every day (without some incredible luck). To me, using a game camera is pretty much the same as hunting, one I shoot them with a bow and the other I get everything set-up so my camera shoots a picture! I was actually going to go set up my Cuddeback today but being that it was 3 degrees when I woke up I decided to just pass on that idea
