Didn't know where to post this. I'm curious as to how many guys put out food plots or such and then put up trail cameras to see what's walking around and then take a buck that they had previous pictures of. I'd do a survey type of post but don't really know who to do it. (ie, no food plot and cams and buck taken that was on cams, food plot and cams and buck taken that was on cams, no food plot and cams and buck taken that was not on cams, food plot and cams and buck taken that was not on cams)

I have 2 buckeye cameras that relay photo's to my computer instantly. Needless to say my 1st stop in the morning is the computer! Both are by food plot and bedding areas that I maintain, on my mothers property within 300 yards of my house. I guess it's strange that I rarely hunt this area. I would, and do, if I see sign a very nice buck is in the area, but that hasn't been the case this year. Guess the main reason I don't tromp around there much this time of the year is fear of pushing a deer out to someone else-it semetimes seems there is a hunter behind every tree on neighboring property (which I have permission to hunt too-just don't like crowd hunting). And the deer population here is just a trace of what it was 10 years ago. Last year there was a very nice buck showing up regularly, but I made the mistake of waiting till shotgun season to go after him-1 day too late! Anyway, I do most of my hunting on 2 other properties we own, both within a mile and a half of my house. Interestingly, I can look through old trail cam photo's and match them with the bucks I take off these other properties most of the time, which has proven to me just how big of an area a buck will roam.

Dave, I have both food plot/cams and no food plot/cams. I have shot bucks and does that I have pics of on both.
What I try to do is what Grant Woods suggests and that is try to do a deer survey in August. I use corn sometimes with a mineral site that I will NOT hunt over.
We have cams out all the time somewhere. I can pretty much recognize most deer when I am hunting them. Now pre-rut and rut will be different.

Thanks for the response. Near Madison, we are seeing none of the bucks on camera from the summer and in essence all new bucks that were never seen before, with a food plot in.

I had a cam right behind the stand dad and I both killed deer from. Tons of buck pics and both bucks we killed we captured on cam!
