leave it up man, just don't walk in front of it, you need to leave it up if it is working good you will see deer on it that may continue to make repeating trips to that area that you haven't seen yet. leave it up...

Leave it up !!! Mine is only about 10 feet from my stand. I just make sure that I walk behind it when heading to and from my stand. Another good thing about leaving it up is I can tell when deer are moving in my area.

Yep, I agree. Leave it up, deer don't seem to be afraid of it at all. In fact, this doe was just a little curious...

I leave them both go right through the rut. Use it to learn. You won't believe the change after about Oct 22. You will just start seeing bucks that have never shown up on your cam. You will also see a much bigger percentage of buck photos. I keep it out but put it odd places or places I don't have stands.......I scout with it. I have hunted with it near my stand and seen numerous deer get their picture taken(yes with flash) and have never seen them run away from it.

Good Luck!

I agree ,leave it up and learn the pattern's of the deer in your location .

I agree that patterns REALLY change about now. You'll be amazed on how many bucks will visit an area.

Leave it out. Mine hasn't left the woods since August. Still full battery strength on the Leaf River also :)
