Trail Cam Placement?
I have a spot where there are two seperate trails within 100-150 yds away from each other. Is it a waste to put two trail cams that close together?
Thanks guys or gails

I don't feel it is a waste. You may have totally different deer walking on each trail. With all the science and studys done they are still wild animals that can do just about anything. The more eyes you have in the woods the better.

Also if your like me and your trying to fine tune their movement getting ready for early bow season, it is helpful to have cams in the same area so you can see which trails they move in and out of the most.

No it isn't a waste. For patterning deer, we put our trail cameras on all well-used trails going into and out of food sources, as well as entrance and exit points.

definitley not a waste. last year, i had watched 3 giants all summer long and finally put a mineral lick/camera out about 150 yards from where i had seen them. from august to november no sight of them. as soon as i put a camera where the had been comming out of the woods, i had pics of two of them in a few days!
