take it out?
Got a question, I've had my trailcam out in the same spot since around the middle of August...Now that the season has arrived i've taken it out. Do most of you guys do this also? I was thinking I didn't want to leave it out and maybe spook one I don't want to be spooked. But than again on the other hand I was thinking that they're used to it in the one spot..taking it out may spook them alone...or am I just over thinking this? haha, any input would be appreciated.

Yeah, if they haven't been spooked already (I've yet to see any evidence on my property where a camera has chased any deer from it), then I wouldn't worry about it. Plus I like to see what's going on during the season (maybe they've gone nocturnal?) so I can make any adjustments as necessary.

My cams stay out from around May (time when horns start to grow) until March ( when the last of deer loose their headgear.
Why have a cam and not have it in the woods? it doesn't make sense to me.
Even when I have my cams back home during the coldest days I have them set up in the yard to see whats about.

if you have a lock box for your cameras I would just leave them out, even on private property I would def get a lockbox had one stolen and I know others here have also, but ya like everybody else is saying, LEAVE IT OUT
