I've gotten more daytime pics already this morning at 11am than I have the last week combined. Halfway between Knoxville and Chattanooga. Looks like I'll be in a tree after work.

Cooler weather scrapes are starting to pop off. But haven't seen a mature deer paw yet just do their normal branch licking and rubbing.
Depends what unit you're in. 2 bucks, no more than 1 a day statewide. Does are 3 per day in units 1-3. Units 4-6 breaks it down by archery, ML, and rifle.

You say "does" 3 per day. Holy crap, that could amount to a lot of deer in one week....sorry if I sound confused, but, here we get one tag, and that's it for the season.Depends what unit you're in. 2 bucks, no more than 1 a day statewide.

Yep, I get it. Growing up in NE we'd get one tag. In the 90's; you get one tag but if you checked a doe then they'd issue you another tag.

I have my cell cam on a yearly scrape location. I've had some does sniffing around it but no bucks so far. I've had skunks, raccoons, coyotes and squirrels show up.....

Our cell cams started going off this evening around 4:30. A bunch of yearling bucks so far

Three reasons: 1) VERY poor cell reception in my area. I can only get one bar of reception on just the highest ridge-tops. Anywhere off the crest of a ridge and it's a no-go. 2) Because I'm running season-long photo censuses, I need a LOT of data. The more the better. Transmitting all that data would be very expensive. 3) I've switched from still images to all video. Those videos would never transmit via cell (every video is 50 MB, and I'm going to collect - on average - 12,000 of them during the season).

I started out with cell cams more as a "supplement" to all the regular cams, also being in a large area with spotty cell service.
Maybe not as a part of your ongoing research studies, but more as an idea what's happening in & around your property, closer to real time, you could have a few cell cams. Run your cell cams in still pic mode, and with the Brownings, you can set high-res stills to take similar to video (if you want).
Regarding the poor cell service, auxiliary antennae are cheap, and can be run high up a tree (one time can last years). Even without a solar panel, you should typically only need to visit these particular cell cams once or twice annually to change the batteries and trim some plant growth.
Adding a few cell cams, especially at points of egress, could keep you better overall informed as to what's happening on your property.
