I use mine for "inventory" purposes, only. I put mine over a mineral lick a few hundred yards from where I hunt. I just want to know what's in the area I'm hunting. I've put them other places in the past.....but I've thought, since, that too much activity in the area CAN'T "help" (ie. checking cameras).

What deer are in my area during the winter and while they're not carrying antlers doesn't interest me, personally. I wanna know what's made it through to hunting season.

I'll set mine out in June, sometime.....and pull them after the2nd-3rd week of August. That'll tell me all "I" wanna know.
