What is the longest you left your trail camera out without checking the pictures?
 
This is really killing me.

I set up my trail camera (for the very first time) last Friday on our property (250 miles away from home). I was fortunate enough to retrieve pictures of 3 does on Saturday morning. We left to come home on Saturday night and it has been out there ever since.

I won't be able to check it again until 10/26.

Did a buck walk by yet?
How big and when?
Is the battery still working?
Did some knucklehead steal it?

How am I really expected to come to work everyday at this time of year?



How long is the longest your camera has been out without you being able to check the pictures?

I left mine out for 3 months or so once last winter without checking. Batteries were sill good but I had 400+ pics on it and the memory card was full. It still counts activities even though the memory is full and IIRC it was at like 700+ activities.

I check mine as often as I can, but since they are over an hour away, September 15 is the last time I checked them.

I check mine about every three days, if I don't the batteries will be dead. I usually have between 100-150 pics in those three days. There have been times where I had 400+. But I only live about 10 min. from my hunting area, so that makes it easy.

I try to leave mine out for 2-4 weeks. But in some places where there aren't many deer, I left them out up to 2 months at a time. By then I usually need to change batteries.

Where is my option: ;)
I have 2 trail cameras in the back of my truck since mid summer and haven't even placed them yet.

I check mine every week. I used to wait every two weeks, but then one of my trail cams got nabbed, so not I am a once a weeker.
