I would recommend checking your camera on a schedule of every two or three weeks on the same day and the same time. This allows the animals to get accustom to you. Also, use latex gloves to minimize your scent on the camera and use other scent elimination techniques like rubber boots, etc. Once you find the area and animals you want to move your camera to antother area to scout while you hunt your primary spot - just in-case your primary spot gets cold during the season.
I use latex gloves when I put in new SD card and change out batteries. I also bring in cover scent spray. I spray down pretty good once I am near my spot and then again once I get into it. I also spray down my pack also. Figure it cannot hurt to spray down too much
