After awhile you can pattern him and know when and what day he is coming thru that particular area. If u try this take notes on wind direction because the wind will dictate which way he may approach from. Then u can hunt that area on the wind direction the buck prefers. Hope this makes since and helps!
Yes I like this idea. I have 4 cameras out full time trying to get him on film I just haven't found the right trail. I put a camera on a trail I saw him walk out on last november, but he was seeking out oat bails due to the deep snow so it may not be the best indicator of his normal travel route (from the aerial photos on the first page he came out of that north river ridge).
I may have to go deeper into the woods as he may be using a trail further down the ridge towards the river.
