The reason I said what I did is.....
If you're ONLY interested in taking an inventory.....WHY in the world would you want to risk smelling up a spot where you're gonna be hunting (setting up, checking and taking down a trail cam)?
That might depend on how far down the road he plans on hunting there, if those are indeed his intentions. I hunt not20yrds from my trail cam sometimes, and have deer "walk"by it's location (not necessarily in front of it)on a regular basiswithout any problem. This includes bucks as well.I think how oftenit gets checked (scent) is the important thing.
