[QUOTE="Dgutter, post: 495514, member: 32130"] Have 5 or 6 up at any given time on a couple different plots of land. Couple are usually posted on food sources. But I'd say the majority are on travel corridors/trails leading to and from bedding sites and food sources. Generally closely to the food sources where many trails converge. Have put a couple on some heavily worked scrapes and get some awesome pictures...definitely good for a lot of buck activity. When I'm on top of checkin them I like to keep them up almost all year round. Generally late spring and early to mid-summer they're usually all down though. Late-ish summer early fall they all get put back up. Get an idea of their early patterns and what kind of activity we have. Move them accordingly for hunting season. Then late season I like to know when and possibly where they drop their antlers, if they survived hunting season, and where they be spending their winters. I like to check them almost weekly but time constraints and battery life kind of dictate that too. No problems spooking deer even with regular flash. It may get their attention but if anything they just get curious. I've had both IR and regular and don't see any advantage to IR. I can usually get clearer pictures and more flash range with normal flash and they cost less so I can buy more of them. :D [/QUOTE]
