To pull or not to pull?

With the season closing in, I've been debating whether or not to pull my cameras. Not sure if the flash irritates the bucks so much that they deter their movement from that area. What do you do? Leave your camera out or pull it? If so, when do you start pulling your cameras out?
 
I usually move mine to an area that I'm not hunting. Then I get to check that spot out while not worrying about the camera bothering the deer.
 
I'm not an expert, but I'm really looking forward to putting them over scrapes...but only a ways up in the tree so hopefully it doesn't affect them at all...

Otherwise, I'm with tlambert...I'll put them where I'm hunting for a week to check deer movement in other areas, without having to worry about spooking the deer...although, I don't get too worked up about a camera doing that...
 
I leave mine up and swap the cards or cameras out when I go in to hunt. Maybe that is hurting my chances to shoot a goodn.
 
I think it depends on the deer on whether or not the camera bothers them. Had the cam out in WI this past weekend and I had about 30 pics of the same two 8 pts. Looked like a movie when you flipped through them quickly.
I've also had a camera in view of a treestand before and saw a spike almost jump through himself when the flash went off...he didn't stick around.

I have seen the same thing many times this year.
