Default Decrease In Trail Cam Photos?

Anyone else seeing a decrease in activity on their trail cams? I checked mine and deer traffic on my property has dropped off to next to nothing. My neighbor, a farmer, told me that the number of deer bedding in his corn fields since the corn has begun to ripen is outrageous. He said he is thinkingof going and getting some nuisance tags to thin them out. I told him if he needs help, I would force myself to make time to help him.

Anyway, anyone else experiencing this?

I've had a decrease in total numbers, but an increase in bucks. The corn in Michigan is very healthy, so the big boys will leave trails of broken corn.

For the most part there all in the corn fields and spending the majority of there time there. Another thing too, I don't think these deer care to much for these trail cams either when there sitting on a trail without the use of bait.

The trailcam action is about the same here, but I am next to corn and bean fields. It does decrease alot when the acorns drop in my area though.

I can't say I've had a decrease but I think alot of that is because I move my cameras alot. I've got so many different varieties of crops that I start moving away from my mineral licks. I'll walk the fields for tracks and set up accordingly. Usually where trees jet out into the corn is a hot spot for traffic. That or inside corners.
