Time to pull the game cams down?
 

the season starts in less than a month. Who still has cameras out and when do you intend to pull them down?

I still have mine out now. I usually put mine away a week or 2 before the season, but this year I' m gonna keep it out. Atleast in my not so heavily hunted areas.

Mine are out and they are going to stay out. Have to keep track of the movement..

I plan to at least use it till season starts. Don' t know if I' ll have time to screw with it durring but I' ll see. It' s the first year owning one so.......

Ugh - I have a moultrie still out there. It works so good I almost hate to take it down. [:@] Next time I check it - it' s going into the circular file for good.

I' ll start looking at one for next year soon.

Why would you take then down during season? I plan on using mine to scout for me during season since the deer' s patterns will change throughout the season. Errrr.... at least when I buy one. ;)

I' ve had mine out for 5 days. I plan on leaving it up at least until the middle of november. Gotta have a pair of eyes in timber at all times. Never know what you might see.

I' m thinking about 10 more days, give or take. The season opens the 27th so at least a week before opening day. I dont like to go into the area right bofre opening day. In fact the day i go to retrieve the cams will be my last trip into the area before opeing day!:D

ends!!:D

Ill be keeping mine out all season as always, the rut is the best time to get monster bucks on film, especially if you find an active scrape. All summer I may get one roll of film a week, in the fall it jumps to three or four a week.:D

Keep it out!! I kept mine out all fall and winter. During the bow season I moved it from any areas close to stands, but its a perfect time to stick it in strange places you don' t usually hunt (its funny what you learn when you do that!) Its really fun to have it out during the rut, the bucks are moving and searching and you get way more buck photos! Another really fun thing is to put them over scrapes. Everytime I' ve put it on a scrape, I' ve have some interesting buck photos and it doesn' t take long. Mostly night photos on the scrapes. We usually get 25 to 35 scrapes on our property and we don' t specifically hunt them but we do hunt the areas. Move it to areas you don' t hunt alot or at all!

One other thing......if you keep it out during the deer season, make sure you keep your hunting partners informed on where it is. Last season I forgot to tell my buddy where the camera was. He was walking down a trail in the pitch dark(1/2 hour before sunrise) and the flash went off on him......he almost had to get a new set of shorts!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Luck!

Leave mine out until January.

I leave mine out until opening weekend of bow season. Scout until the last minute.
