Trail cameras for Elk?

[streamer]

Heading out next week for muzzel elk hunt thinking about putting out a couple of cameras, I know wallows are a no brainer, any other suggestions for spots to put cameras. Or should I just leave them at home?

Either at a water hole or even better on a trail about 100 yards from the water.

I love messing with cams as much, if not more than most, and my advice would be leave em. Concentrate on elk not cams. You don't need a cam to see if bulls are hitting wallows, and you don't need cams to find big rubs and areas where they are hanging. Just hunt, don't get caught up in banking on where or when you will hunt due to cams.

I agree with drahthaar.

Leave 'em home. Less is more when hunting out west. (When you sit in a tree stand and do nothing, trail cams are nice so you know what's happeing) Just hunt.
