When do you put up your trail cams and how long do you leave them out? Do you move them around during the season or leave them on one place?

I set mine up in the spring because I'm out there shed hunting anyway. Then take them down December/Jan after hunting season. Sometimes in my spot I will move the camera around it it isn't getting much action or if I find a more travelled game trail near by. Sometimes I'll even move a camera to double up on an area where I've captured a decent buck. Don't forget to put down a salt lick or tarsal gland to attract deer or make them stop in front of your camera! Also depending on camera settings and amount of traffic a camera can easily last 6 months or more on engerizer batteries.
