I guess I am the exception... The ones around the house I check them often, daily if I can. The ones 45 mins away I check weekly. I want to know what is moving and when it is doing it. As different stages take place I can note the movement and activity without actually seeing it in person. Checking cards paid off for me this last Friday. I worked half a day Friday and was driving the Mule around checking cards about 1:30pm. 30 yards from a camera on a green field I jumped one of the bucks I was wanting bedded down with a doe. I changed my hunt location that evening to the green field because of the sighting and at 4:30 I had that buck down.
