Default what to do
I've had my trail cameras out for 3 weeks now and getting about 1000 pics a week but only does and fawns not one buck.the treed area isn't real big and with 2 cameras in there I thought forsure I would see a buck,there was a nice one there last fall but the zone is CWD.I'm wondering if the bucks got shot or maybe there just not traveling the trails I have the cameras.

Should I move them,leave them there or try and find a diferent spot all together?

Im sure there has to be a buck there. but i would move it around to see if you can find something. If not at least you know there are does there come rut.

Timba, don't know what to tell you about moving the cameras, but the bucks are running on their own now. had 7 different bucks coming in at one time, but lately, nothing. still have the does coming in though. just nature running its course I guess.

Try and find some not so defined trails off to the sides of the well used ones. I have done this in the past only to find that the bucks are running different trails parallel to the doe trails.

Don't worry this sound like a spot that I'd be back to check once the rut is closer. The bucks will come looking for all the does.
