Best way to use one is for a target!!

I use mine and only check it once a month even though I run it on a feeder. It can be hard to not go check it. I have a hunting partner that. He is his at twice if not three times a week and wonders why deer are all in dark while they walk all during the day at my spot a few hundred yards away. My point is they can be very useful if they're used "correctly ". Resist the urge to needlessly in ads the area and you get a good idea of what and when game is using the area.
