mottz,

I begin putting my cameras out after our season ends in early January. I leave them out until early March and then begin putting them out again the middle of June. I put them along trails and funnels where history has told me there is good deer movement. I usually check on them about every four to five weeks, if I can stand to wait that long. I don't leave them out after the season begins on Oct. 1st. I have been reconsidering that last point though. I put out an attractant to make them stop and linger so I can carefully check out each animal. I use a product called lucky buck. It comes in a white bucket and the product resembles red sand. I don't know exactly what it is but the deer hammer it. Last summer when I put out just about three cups of it, within a month they had a hole as big as a bushel basket and a foot deep. Well anyway, that's what I do.

Blessings.....Pastorjim
