Default Stupid Question

hey guys ihave another question about trail cameras thats goingto make me sound like an idiot , but this is the first one i've had so i don't know anything about them. my question is, when setting it up for turkeys, how high up do you attach it on the tree? i'd really appreciate some info on this because i know absolutely nothing about trail cameras

IDK for sure, you cant go wrong from 2 feet to 4 feet, I think that would work, somebody correct me if I am wrong, I have never set one up for turkeys

I like to set my cameras really low, 18 inces to 2 feet. This gives me an opportunity to see not only the turkeys beard but his spurs as well.

Set it up about knee high, about 18 to 20 inches.
