yup, been there done that with all the tests I have done. The mature bucks avoided the areas but the younger bucks & does paid no attention. I have pix with my IR & flash cams in areas that show them getting caught once not knowing the camera was there then the 3 pix of it being coming in, turning, and bounding away. Then I didn't get a pic again the rest of the season. I saw them while sitting in the stand but they would take a different route to avoid the pic. Majority came with my I-40 IR, my homebrews weren't avoided as much. But I have 19 cameras and been doing studies the past several years. This year I didn't put any in where I hunt, I put them where I wasn't hunting & the trails they were making. So now they are re-directing up and towards me and away from the cameras.
