Ontario hunters, do you leave your trail cameras out all year.

Your thread title suggests you specifically wanted to know about Ontario hunters, but I'll take the liberty of saying that yes, in Nova Scotia I leave mine out year round. I have killed a few cameras doing this, I think because of cold/warm cycles resulting in condensation inside the units and shorting stuff out. Bushnell Trophy cams couldn't seem to handle it. Browning cams are holding up well though. I really enjoy the multi-species results of these long deployments. I do get to know the local deer herd well too.
Here's a good compilation of a long deployment:

I would like to but I've had two stolen. Now I only put them out before bear season and deer season and hope they are there when I go back to check.

I have had a couple stolen as well. I was not happy about it especially since they were on my property and only two or three hundred yards from the house.
 
Just picked up batteries for tonight...
I like to run mine in video... then download to the laptop...
me and the kids love seeing whats out there...
but never fails.. we get to the video where we see someone walking to the cam... kind of freaks us out... who is it?
then see our faces as we pick up the cam.
