Hey All,
I setup a trail camera today in a very heavily used area at my in-law's house. I've seen some very big doe tracks (no dew claw in thick mud) and want to get a look at her and her fawns. I've also seen a decent bodied buck with nice velvet antlers walking around.
I set the camera very high (8 to 10 feet above capture area) with a steep downward angle. I did this because:
1. That's how you have to set cameras up on the super-hilly terrain (I'm vertically challenged and it was easier for me to climb the hill and set up the tree than climb the tree itself)
and
2. I heard that deer spook less/pay less attention to cameras set up high.
Well, I'll hopefully have some trail camera photos in the next couple of months to post up. This entire area holds a ton of deer, so hopefully I'll get something.
