Always try checking them at the hottest part of the day as well when they are pretty surely bedded.
Yeah I take the precautions. Did you see the time stamps? Its on a creek/steep hillside pinch. I think I'll walk the creek in next time and pull the camera out and leave him alone for now. Ive seen what I need to see and really already knew. I'll be sitting there Oct first if that ends up being the buck I decide to pursue. He is in range of my stand in every picture.
Probably better to have in places I'm unsure of rather than places I know are travel pinches for big bucks. Maybe not as fun but probably more productive.
