Trailcamera locations

[briar]

I am just lost on this topic. Where is a good place to put them? Going in and out with them am I doing more harm than good? I have one sitting here that I used once because I really just don't know what the heck to do with it to use it in a productive way.

I am like you. Outside of some inventory work on mineral sites, I have two Trophy Cams that have hardly seen any use because I am too worried about boogering up my spots. That and my concern over theft.

I told myself that this year I would set them up over some beds I found last spring. My idea was that I would hunt the bed. Then, since the spot was already burned, I would set the camera 10-15ft up a tree looking at the bed. At least the cameras would get some use that way and I would get some intel for future hunts.

You could setup your cams on spots like these and pull them this winter, ie gather intel for future seasons.
