I check mine about every 7 days or so. I try to check them being scent free too. Always wear my rubber boots and try not to touch much walking in or out.

i been checking mine weekly but have only came back with like 60 pics on it

Ryan Kulinski

Jesse, what kind of camera do you have? Make sure you have the right settings on it too.What is you camera over looking too?

jesse sherer

i have a bushnell bone collector i have the sensor on high and capture mode on 3 and the delay time for 1 sec and its right by a corn feild

Ryan Kulinski

are these the pics that you posted? You may want to try and find out how they are coming in this field. See if that might help find a good trail or draw. Have you put any minerals out yet or any attractants?

Ryan Kulinski

Heck your in Wisconsin, If you need some help on minerals etc let me know I have cousin that owns a deer mineral company up there.

I check mine ever couple weeks. I don't get many pictures on my camera until pre rut, then I start getting a bunch. Camera is set up on ridge that the bucks travel looking for doe. hardwoods ridge surrounded by large pine planted back in the depression. Its hard to describe, but the bucks and doe love the area in the fall. Not much so in the summer.

i have and cow mineral lick in front of my cam and just put apples there but i never get anything anymore

Ryan Kulinski

jesse look me up on facebook and I will get you in touch with my cousin and you can get some stuff from him. I have some out up here in Washington and they destroy it. Last for about 2 months or so. Were in Wisconsin are you at? How far you from Iola or Waupaca?

i check my trail cam every week and i move it in the feild once every 3 months through out the year. i always put a salt block at each site and i have wild game blocks set out as well in some spots i get tons of pics and others i get few depending on what time of the year it is... if you look at my drops i have trail cam pics up... i have my bushnell set at high and intervals at 30 seconds... before i set out my cam i always make sure i see fresh tracks and a good trampled game trail...

jesse sherer

i moved mine before and now its next to a cornfeild i think all the deer are hiding in the corn though

I've found that I never get mature bucks on my cams unless I've stayed away for at least 4 days. I prefer to go a minimum of 2 weeks between check them so I can get a better predictive pattern on them as to time of day they show up and how many.

Rick Rinehart

Depends is the real answer. If you are in high deer density areas and going for mature whitetails who are reasonably pressured you should NOT overcheck. Early in the spring and summer its ok to go in every week but i usually prefer NOT to pressure them. I shy to every two weeks come later in july and then try to go every 3-4 weeks as the season approaches. It also depends on what your camera is over...a trail, mineral or food plot. I switch off of mineral as do the bucks and focus on trail or patterning in food plots come early fall. Lastly it depends on how easy it is to get to your camera sites without letting the deer feel pressured as well as issues with your camera. I get upto 90 pics a day on mineral and if i run video or food plot watcher modes you can fill a camera , expend battery life or fill chips quick.

jesse sherer

thanks for the info and should i spray down with scent away before entering my trail cam area

John Jackson

no, nature will take care of that for you.

jesse sherer

my cam is only like 400ft from my house though

chuckles norris

Checked mine today. Lot's of activity. I won't check again for a couple of weeks. As it gets closer to the season I'll check every few days to try to get a timing pattern.

Jacob Cecil

I've found that checking once every few weeks works best. Your scent does make an impact on the area so scent away or something like it should be used. My cam is set up in a small wooded area that opens up into a cornfield. Also i have a Trophy Rock mineral block in front. Most of my pictures during this time of year are of does/fawns, but when the pre-rut comes around, its like the bucks just appear out of no where!

jesse sherer

ya ive got 2 bucks running around my house but never get them on camera i got them on camera right before spring tho

ke win

my dads friend checks his every morning. he gets around 60 pics each time?
