RE: How often do you check your trail camera's?
Last year my brother and I checked them every week and I think it hurt my brothers chances on a few P&Y bucks. It seemed the more we checked them the less pics we would get of the nice P&Y bucks we were getting earlier when we were only checking them every 2 weeks. This fall were going to try and hold back and check them every 2 weeks. Like Early said in a different thread its like a kid going to the candy store, you just can't wait to see whats on the camera and your patience gets the best of ya!!!

I keep my moultrie over a bait/mineral pile all year round and check it once a week. There used to the flash and people in the area by now so it doesnt really bother them. I usually move my stealth around every couple weeks to get pictures in new areas. So i guess its not like im venturing into the woods and disturbing the deer every week.

out here we checked ours about once every two weeks...for our skiddish deer that was a bit too much...so this year we are thinking to leave them up for a month then check them......cannot put enough emphasis on keeping you as scent free as possible putting up cams and taking down..atleast IMO out here it makes a huge difference...

I used to check mine every weekend, but this year I only check them every other weekend, and sometimes I dont get out there to check them for 3 weeks. I am thinking about pulling them out, and letting my spot sit for the rest of the summer without any intrusion.

I check mine every 2 weeks because the suspense just kills me.If I notice less pictures or sign in the area I will install new batteries and come back in a month.
