Default Where to hunt based on trail cam.(What would u do)

I have 2 cams out I am getting a ton of nice bucks at one cam but seem to be mostly night. The other cam is over a 1/2 acre food plot and 8 deer 4 does 4 fawns are coming in within a half hr every night at 6:05 Season starts oct 15 would you hunt the buck area or the does in hopes once the bucks start rutting they will follow the does in?

if you hunt the does you will see bucks. but if you can find where the bucks are bedding get between it and the food.

I agree with the 2nd half of tedrow's post....The first half I will agree with once November 15th-ish rolls around. Till then the bucks aren't going to care so much about does.

Think about the orientation of your camera....where are the bucks headed? What time? Where do you think they are coming from? Night time movement can still tell you about their behavior.

Like Tedrow said....get between them and food (and/or water). Hunt the wind and be patient.

I'd keep moving the cam until I found where they were in the morning, at 1st light - then I'd hunt there.

Thanks guys , its weird the area im getting bucks theres a few hay fields really isnt much food as far as corn,soybeans etc closest agricultural food probably 1-1/2 miles away Not many mast producing trees. These bucks are sporting some really great headgear so there getting some protein from some where. One buck is pushing 150-160 yet his body not overly mature looking All the other bucks id consider shooters all appear on the smallish side as well I will be moving cam around and start really watching hay fields in evening
