Originally posted by traditionalarcher17: Because anyone that hunts deer knows dusk and dawn and anytime during rut. When I put out my camera I'd bet the house that 90% of my pictures are between the daylight hours of 7am and 10am and evening from around 5:30 to dark then all tru the night at random hours. When you hunt when do you go out? Those same hours are my guess and why because that's when most deer are active. We knew that before cameras. A game trail tells you where the deer are but a camera just shows you what type of deer are there. I can honestly say a game camera has never aided me in anymore of a way to killing a deer than me going out and scouting an area. I just like to see what's out there.
So let's say you hunt in the morning and after you get down you check your cameras and one of them has multiple images of a good buck hanging out near a certain oak tree or an isolated food plot @ midday for a couple of days in a row, you wouldn't try to act on that?
Or if you had a real time camera and you are either headed to, or already sitting in a stand and your phone rang with a image of a buck headed to a spot you thought you could get to before he might. You wouldn't use that info to try and move on that deer?
And perhaps we should continue this via pm. The natives are getting restless....
