Sometimes it is difficult for deciding where to place a trail camera in the woods.
I believe over time, perhaps years, the deployed cameras will be moved around to different locations.
This year, it was just educated guessing as it is a brand new camera setup.
I don't know what attracts does to this location, but we get frequent pictures of them here.
Feeding, sleeping, regurgitating and rechewing of food. Right in front of this camera.

Do you see that little scrub tree in the right foreground in the above photo? Perhaps three feet tall?
One recent windy day, that camera sent me a barrage of pictures.
The pictures were showing the little scrub tree being blown around by the wind.
The wind blown scrub tree triggered the camera motion sensor.
I almost jumped into my Jeep, drove the 20 miles, walked into the woods, and cut down the little scrub tree. But something came up, and all I did was turn down the motion sensitivity setting on that particular camera using my trail camera smart phone app from home.
Sometime later, I got a barrage of pictures from that same camera, but this time a small racked buck was using the same small scrub tree as a licking branch.
Whitetail deer rub their saliva and facial scent glands on small tree branches.
It's a form of communication for whitetail deer. The "who is in the neighborhood" communication.
I think I will leave that small scrub tree alone, and just accept a few wind generated false pictures.
