I' ve had mine out since May. I got a real nice buck on film the beginning of June and couple others that may turn into shooters. Right now I' m lookin for trails that can be hunted the first 2 weeks of bow season. After that I' ll look for the acorns. And when the rut starts, who knows where they' ll be. I use a Non-Typical Deercam and wouldn' t trade it for any other brand.
