I usually check my cameras cards at night because a few reasons: a lot of times I drive to the property after work and don't make it in there until 9 or 10pm, sometimes even later than that, so I think it is a good time to avoid any disturbance. Also the fact that my property is mostly wooded (about 95%) makes me think that most deer move into the neighbor's fields after dark to feed in the open. I use my grizzly for this task so it is a little noisy but better than going through those hills on foot which it would take way longer and consequently increase the chances of leaving scent and be seen by deer.
Is this a good approach? I get pictures at both day and night so I know there are deer on my property at night too but I'd rather visit the cameras at night than during hunting hours. Also if I'm planning on hunting the next morning sometimes I just go blind and get the cards back on my way out from the hunt to avoid any unnecessary disturbance.
How do you do it? Am I doing it right?
