GWSmith Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Without shoe-leather research I dont know what your property is like but I'll throw an idea your way. If you've taken pics of these guys at night I'm assuming your using a trail camera....have you tried moving the camera to a different location or using multiple cameras? If you can get pics of them in different locations then you can start plotting where the pics you get are on a map. In a way it would be like connecting the dots. I would also use aerial photo's of your land in conjunction with your other map to see what features of cover they preffer to travel. Over time you could start to narrow down a possible travel corridor then setup on them in an area where they will be during daylight hours. One of the biggest benefits to putting in the effort to figure all of this out is this: These nice bucks your talking about got that way not being stupid...it's likely any other bucks in the future will use the same type of cover and terrain features of the land. Your research now can have long-term success! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Welcome to the forums. Good advice above. Would move the cam/cams around some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolinahunter Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Thats great advice,we actually used multiple cameras a few years ago to close in on a bedding area a buck was using.We have taken an eight and nine pointer in addition to that buck since that time.
