Use of game camera

How many of you guys (or Ladies) use game camera's around your hunting area, before during & after hunting season?

It's pretty neat, to see what's coming around your area before the season starts. Any pic's?

this is my first year using game cams. i thoroughly enjoyed it and plan on to continue. i ended up buying the Moultrie Game Spy 200 3.1 megapixel with no regrets. great cam. i went with this one because i do all my hunting on public land, so if it get's stolen....$170 loss is better than $400 loss. it takes great pic's and is easy on batteries, i've been using the same 6 volt battery for over 2 months now. keep in mind the warm climate here in florida (cold weather kills batteries quicker) and i'm only getting about 10 pic's a week. i set it up over natural trails and scrapes, not bait piles.

keep in mind that these are Florida public land bucks.

Same Moultrie. Put by my feeder (maintained all summer). I use the camera before, during, and after the season.

good pic's. i don't criticize anyone for using bait piles or feeders. if it's legal in your area, go for it. i just wanted to explain why i was getting such good battery life before someone called me a liar...lol.

Here are some interesting pics. These were taken about 15 miles from Sanderson in West Texas.
