Its been a week tonight that i set a trail cam out. Its the 1st one I've set outside of my own back yard. I'm wondering how long is normal to let one set when you are unsure of how good a location it will be.

i usually let mine go for about 2 weeks after iput itin a new spot.. i like to disturb my hunting spots as little as possible... the last thing i want to do is tobe going in andout of theretoo often and messup the deer movment in that area

I set mine out a week ago, and I'll retrieve it in another week. I'm not checking it, I'm pulling it. It's much too close to season to be messing around in there much.

Yea I don't like roaming my areas, so I put it in a plce I don't really hunt near and can get in and out easy. More of a curiosity thing.

mine that I have in my hunting spot behind my house I check it every 3 days

I check mine quite frequently because they are easily accessible. Is your camera just on a trail or is it on a food source/minerals/etc.?

I would probably give it another week then check it out and see if your getting any good results...

I usually give it 10 days!

Bout a week and a half to two weeks.

During hunting season I tend to pull mine out of the woods. Some people say that the flash won't spook a deer, but I've seen other wise. The last thing I want is a nice mature buck coming into my area and only get spooked onto a neighboring farm or hunting club.
