Question for everyone here, it’s technically my 2nd season hunting. First time I put cameras out. How often should I expect to see animal activity on them? They are out on public, cheap SPYPOINT cell cams. I do get activity of deer and hogs but maybe once or twice a week. Am I setting them in bad locations based on how few photos I’m receiving? Or is this normal?

Or is this normal? heres how i go about camera use, 1st thing is will you be hunting during the rut , if so your looking for pictures of does, lots of does . 2nd is multiple pics of the same buck during legal hunting hours, couple pics at night are useless as is just 1 pic of a buck your looking for multiple pics of the same deer so i put cams on active scrapes and really worn game trails. my guess is your camera is in a bad location. i have 89 pictures of 1 buck and 54 of another buck but once the rut kicks in i know they could be miles away thats why having does also showing up on camera is so important. if deer arent on the camera say every other day during shooting hours i move them and have been doing this for the last 5 weeks every week.

Okay, thanks! I had a feeling they weren’t placed in well traveled places. One camera I do get pictures of deer typically once a day between 11-2. But I placed the camera a little too far off the trail so all I can gather from the photos is their deer 🤷♂️ I appreciate the advice! I’m gonna get back out there and move em. Also I’m hunting general gun thanksgiving week, and I think the rut for my area is the month before but I could be wrong.

That’s a good Buck for sure. I’d try to figure where he’s living by looking at satellite photos so as not to disturb him. As mentioned above try to locate does near there as well. There are other factors that might help you hunt him, such as are there other folks scouting and hunting the area. Getting other hunters on a camera can help you formulate a game plan. Scouting is fun as well. Good luck!

Pretty far. It’s an Italian red deer… When is red deer season? Is there any public land where you can diy a hunt in Italy? I hear Italy has some good fly fishing for trout.....any truth to that? My wife wants to see Tuscany. I was thinking I could drop her off there and then go have an adventure....... What do ya think?

My wife wants to see Tuscany. I was thinking I could drop her off there and then go have an adventure....... What do ya think? It depends on regional rules anyway usually we have a spring/summer season (May-June) and a fall/winter season (September-December). Anyway since it’s a selective hunting the season can vary according to the harvest trend. And we can hunt on public lands but also in private lands (except a specific deny by owner). This guy (and others) wouldn’t be an issue anyway since he lives in the forest behind my home (the camera is 20 feet from my home door). About trouts it’s my FW favorite fishing, with lures though, not fly fishing. About Tuscany it’s great choice for a vacation but for trouts fishing you have to move toward the Alps to find the best spots and fish. If you come here let me know, I will give you some suggestions for vacations (I know very well Tuscany) and fishing.
