I went this direction at first but I think a better solution for me has been using lithium batts and just setting the cams and letting them soak. Use all the info for the following season taking advantage of the bucks yearly patterns.
I think cameras do more harm than good for a lot of folks, but they are an amazing tool for the guy who utilizes them appropriately as part of his overall strategy. I’ve definitely been guilty of putting too much weight on what the cameras tell me.
This season I soaked them in areas I didn’t plan on hunting much but wanted to learn more about. If you know a place well you may just set one or two on the perimeter to inventory. Why not have extra eyes working for you? Analyze the data you get with a grain of salt however realizing that they are a limited tool.
Also resist the temptation to put the camera low on the tree and get the candid shots. Approach them like a stand site. Conceal them as well as you can elevated and brushed in. Deer or human walks by the camera they shouldn’t notice it.
Just my thoughts and I know most of you guys know this stuff. Sometimes it’s good just to remind myself
