Just curious how many cameras you run and on how many acres? I currently have 4 out on 81 acres but as soon as i close the deal on the adjoining 6 acres 1 more will go on it and possibly 1 more up. So that would have me a total of 6 on that property. Have 1 out on another place i hunt that is hard to run a camera because of the cattle on the property. Also i have 1 in Illinois but i may add 1 more when i go check it.

So probably will have a total of 8 cameras this year on 3 different properties.

Put 5 of mine out this past Saturday so can't wait to start seeing what shows up.
 
2-3 on 130 acres , 1 on 90 acres, 1 on 32...I have a buddy that runs 23 cameras on 500
 
At one time I ran 8-10, but that got to be too much for me during deer season when I was trying to balance hours afield hunting, versus checking cameras. Currently, I run 4 black flash cams, which seems to be a good balance for the number of hours I can dedicate to hunting each fall.
 
Each property is different. I have a 300 acre parcel and an 86 acre parcel. Both are either woods or completely overgrown pasture. I run 1 camera on the 86 acres as I ran two last year and it was the same bucks on both cameras. I will run 5 on the 300 acre farm this year. That will give me adequate coverage. I will also set up cameras for trespassers and overwatch of my other cameras. I bought Primos Easycams for that work. 25.00 each.
 
I run 4-5 on a ten acre strip along a creek but only 3 on a 200 acre tract of hardwoods.
