I agree with Aaron1991. I would even recommend getting a solar battery pack and a trail camera with an expandable memory. Moultrie makes some inexpensive cameras that take great pics. We check and replace the SD memory card about once a month You never can tell what is going to show up. We've had it all including deer,turkeys,bears and foxes. This year we found a doe that was just about dead not far from the cabin. There was no obvious reason for the doe to be dying. The doe died just prior to the DNR arriving. The officer examed the doe and left. We had an extra trail camera and set it up near the doe. When we returned in several weeks the scavengers had stripped the doe and we got several intresting pics. No coyotes but several foxes, crows and a vulture.

I like to check mine about once every two weeks, just so I know whats coming in, But I do agree with Aaron the longer you leave them out and not get your scent around them or in the area, then the better chance of you seeing more and bigger deer.
