How do you check your cams and manage your pics? Load to a computer?

Pull card, load to pc,save a couple that catch ky eye, delete rest,  I'll check. 5 or 6 cams a day , that takes me 4 or 5 days  to check them all,  I do. Them according to areas, they are in , around house, across street, top of hill , bottom of hill , across next road. , and now I check. Cams I put up for neighbor as well. , so. 6 spots  total in groups of cams. 

Wish someone came up with software for a quick  edit/save  but I havent seen any yet, I scroll thru pic on oc using extra large thumbnails is fastest way ,but you can lose deer in background so. The is still a lot of one by one photo examining.. takes annhour to hour and a half oer check to go. Thru them.all..

My Walworth cams get checked every 3 - 4 weeks .

My Geneseo cams are 50 miles away and get checked whenever I can get there . The last time was a 3 month period . The weeds , etc grew up and triggered the cams . I had a lot of pics of nothing but did have many good pics .

i think 3-4 is better than 2 weeks some are posting. What are you gaining checking that much other than scratching an itch?

During the season I would only pull the ones near the stand i'm hunting and not go traipsing all through the woods.

I check at least every other week.  I throw the kiddo in a backpack and we hike the loop between 3 cameras.

It's nice to get out there and inspect everything plus I enjoy the pics.  There's tons of deer there, and I'v never had an issue putting meat in the freezer.

If it costs me a smart old buck... that's fine with me.

My cards would be filled in 10 days and yes in could go to a 32 mb card. But I'd still get less than 2 weeks out of it. One today had 3468 photos on it in 5 days.. .  But cards are not out in the woods. Nor do I have to do more than drive up swap card and leave.
