[QUOTE="OKRuss, post: 3888909, member: 41777"] On public land, don't put any camera out that you have fears of being stolen. At least that's always the pointer from others. If you're in a good spot, it may not be bothered. You want to find pinch points or funnels. That would be dictated by the terrain or a creek. Deer generally will take the path of least resistance assuming they have cover(walk around a creek instead of through it if running very much or go around a gorge instead of down and back up). At this time of year, the acorns are on the ground and deer are tough to pattern(at least on our place and figure same on a larger public land tract). During the rut, the big bucks will get themselves tired and all worked up. Hunting near water is a good strategy and a couple of cameras should help determine when/if active area. Don't share your public spot online! There are a few on here who own private land that would be happy to look at your spot with confidence it will stay private - just reach out. [/QUOTE]
