tjhunt2 Report post Posted May 31, 2012 You're a smart man Stephen. That's a good lesson for everyone. On opening morning years ago I go to climb in my treestand, way before daylight, on opening morning only to find someone sitting there. He said he would move but I said I would just go over to my other stand and sit 50 yrds away. He said his other hunting buddy was there and I said finish the morning hunt since I had another spot but I would be back to hunt this spot in the evening. I killed a nice bull on my backup spot that morning. TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually have spots in three other units, that's why I have started this early for the Aug. hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

About every three weeks I rotate my cams to other spots looking for that big KAHUNA! I'm constantly looking for new spots, but have a few spots that I work every year over & over again. I've yet to latch on to a true monster, but I usually get some pics of quite a few decent bucks. It's fun to get familiar with specific deer too. There's a couple deer in my area that I recognize on site, including a dog-eared doe that I think I may have lost this year, but I saw her w/ fawns for three years in a row prior. I saw her in person a few times & I got a few trail cam pics of her. There's also a certain buck with an easily identifyable rack running around. Not very long points, but good with & lots of them. I've seen him for about three years now & he was still going strong in Jan of this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaibabkiller Report post Posted June 8, 2012 I have 5 sets with cams in about a 5 square mile radius. Im a firm believer in strength in numbers. The more cams you have out the more deer your scouting at once. The only issue I have is I'll get bored at one set and make a move late morning to come back next day and check the SD card and find my lack of patience cost me an oppurtunity at a 90 inch buck! So if you have a shooter coming in regularly stick it out, chances are he'll return. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
