Thanks for the advice, this is a field edge set and they’re pretty used to human activity here because the landowner is always driving his atv around checking cows. I used the same atv setting the stands and cameras hoping to not draw attention. I shot what I think is this same buck from that stand last year and never recovered him. We decided the hit wasn’t lethal after about 5 days of grid searching. My season starts September 15th. Do you think I should make one more check of cameras before season since I can do it without much intrusion? Just pull the atv up to the field edge really quick and be gone. I have 2 sets about 100 yards from each other each with a camera near it. I don’t want to make a hunt in the wrong stand and blow my chances for the other.I’d limit intrusion at all costs. So that means field edge and ridge top camera sets away from bedding.
Putting a camera by your stand is risky in my opinion because some deer seem to avoid them, but some seem to not care
