[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 495532, member: 2736"] Much like the other posters I place them where/near I will be hunting and in possible new sites that show promise. I use the infrared type because of poachers and thieves(I have had some stolen)and conceal them as well as possible. Also the deer seem to spook more with the larger sized game cameras the first time I place them in a new spot so I use the small/compact size game cameras. Some cameras make an audible sound that gets game and other vermin's attention so look for the quietest camera you can find. I have tried the movie mode and it looks great but uses up a lot of space on the card and prefer the still mode because it only takes one picture of something your not interested in and in the 5 second setting will be gone most of the time. Try to find a camera that prints the date, time of day and the temperature on the image. ( some don't). I don't use more than 3 or 4 cameras and concentrate them in one area for the best coverage of that area in off season scouting and spread them out for general scouting of an area. Like everything else in this sport you can never have to many but there is an amount that will serve you well and not become more trouble than they are worth. If you pre-scout and look for sign you can do with less. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
