I agree 100%, 3 or 4 days max for me. Trail cameras can do several things for me, 2 of the more important things I use them for is, inventorying deer on a property which you can accomplish before a season even starts, another is monitoring activity once the season starts. One of the best things about using a trail camera is to see if deer are in a particular area and if its a buck I want, or even if I want to kill a Doe then Im hunting that spot immediately. 2 weeks allot can change, especially with a mature buck with changing early season feeding patterns, to shedding, to monitoring active/fresh rub lines or scrapes.
