RE: How often do you check your trail camera's?
 

I just bought a farm in Illinois and want to put cameras on it. Living in Georgia, I obviously can't check my cameras very often. I have checked out the SmartScouter camera and it looks like the answer to my problem. It takes images and sends them by cell phone signal to a server on the internet where you can view them. It will send images instantly or every 2, 4, 6, 12, or 24 hours. With the additional battery, it will run for 6 months before you have to go to the camera. The camera retails for $650 and the monthly fee for the phone line and web server averages $25 to $30. Not for everyone, but it works for me.

RE: How often do you check your trail camera's?
 

Last year I started out with one cam and checked it every three or four days. Mine are strictly for trail useage, so I wanted a good area survey of what was happening and where, so I was constantly moving It.I have added more cams this year,and will rotate visits and stay out ofeach particular area for a longer period of time. I practice as much scent control as if I were actually hunting, and I think it helps some, although there is always somedisturbance, I am sure.

i agree on the scent free idea. however i hunt on public land where there are no food plots or feeders. so i have to go in and move camera's around to stay on the deer. i can't afford to leave a camera up in a spot for a month with no activity. so i go in every other week and check them and move camera's if need be.

well i got out and checked mine. no bucks yet but i was very impressed with the amount of doe activity. where there's doe's, there's bucks;).

every doe i have a picture of is either pregnant or has fawns with her. so far i do not have any night pic's, all the activity is in the middle of the day when our temp.'s are between 90 degrees and 104 degrees.

i swap out the memory cards once a week. but i think my father has been sneaking down and checking the pictures every other day or so.

RE: How often do you check your trail camera's?
 

Once every 2-3 weeks now, Ill check them more often once season comes in...

RE: How often do you check your trail camera's?
 

i check mine approx. once every three weeks. between the batteries going dead, and the anticipation of wanting to see what is on it, i can't wait any longer then that.
