Do you have some sort of bait there, or just set up on a trail? What amount of time are we talking about? I only get numbers like that when I have a good bait going. Just in this last week I got 6 cameras set up, and I would be very happy with 20 pictures per week, per camera.

Its a place were I've put salt blocks for the last 5 years or so they just come back every year and stick around but they only stay around for a couple months the closer it gets to hunting season the fewer and fewer will show up i got a 2 min delay on it. I'm going up to check it againthis weekend. I'll post a couple pictures when i get home tonight

I've noticed the same thing. I believe they hit the salt licks for the nutrients more so when their horns are growing. By hunting season they're out of velvet....
Take up your bow, a quiver full of arrows, head out to the country and hunt some wild game.  GEN 27:3

It's not the antler growth, its the green grass.  They need more salt this time of year to digest the fresh green stuff.
