Woodjr55 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Move a trail camera? I have 30 acres that my family owns. I'd say about 4 of it is a pine plantation and the rest is hardwoods with a bunch a old logging trails going through. This is my second season with cams and I now have 3. Last I didn't get a ton of picture and I pretty much moved them all every time I checked them. How do you all set up you cameras? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneHunter Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I have a little over 20 acres but only have two cam's , so I always hang one near my tree stand and I have a stream that runs through the property so I hang one on the other side of a well used run and make sure the time is set correctly on the cams !

fasteddie Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I have left one of my cams in the same location for almost 2 years . I get a lot of pics on it but it's too open to hunt . Maybe if rifles are allowed that will change . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I keep 2 cameras out where I go most often. I pretty much keep them to one field because of the woods and water and treestand and my blind. I don't move them every time and might move one and put it back next time I am out. Why do you move yours every time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodjr55 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 I haven't really this year. My property is long and narrow and the deer cut across it most so I've been trying to find out where they are crossing. Also last weekend I cut up a big tree that was blocking one of the trails that goes down the center of our property. I'm hoping that changes up there patterns some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culvercreek hunt club Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Minimum soak time on a camera should be 2 weeks. a month is better. I will usually move once before the season as the patterns shift from a summer pattern to a more fall pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
