[QUOTE="battlestick, post: 870584, member: 31425"] This was a double post, but I will use this space to answer the age old questions. How do you find where they are coming from? Well, what did we do before game cameras? Fishing line across the trails points in the direction the passer by is heading. This doesn't have to be boot high either. Fishing line across a trail at 5 ft animals don't go through. How do you know if it's an animal? It won't start at your stand and end at the property line. Also, deer do not break spider webs 5 foot high across a game trail. Trust me when I say, this is a sure sign of a human, and they are easy to spot with a little fog or some morning dew. The spider webs have all the condensation on them. Brush the sandy spots clear of footprints so you can check for boot direction. Every phone has a camera now, leave a twig, safety belt, etc a certain way at your stand and take a picture of it. Compare when you return to see it is moved. This cannot be something that the wind or rain can move. Put small twigs on the trail and take pictures to compare later. Animals may move the twigs, but can't snap them the way a boot can. They track you when you enter the gate at the lease..... Look for fishing string across the ends of your gate....If you put it there, it will tell you if anyone is, or has been in there. So if someone else puts it there, they can tell if you are in there to track you [B][I]BEFORE[/I][/B] entering your place while it is occupied. Replace the dang string so they think you are not there. Brush the boot prints away from the gate area so they cannot tell if you are in there. Instead of taking the same truck every time, take multiple vehicles. Then they do not know what to be on the lookout for on the roads. Also they won't know how many people are on the lease that they have to dodge. [/QUOTE]
