What are you using,?
I Bought one of them Bushnell trail scout pros,
Slow trigger,or not at all.bad pic quality,and the I.R. side,the animal has to be 5 feet in front of the Camera before you can see anything,

I have a wildview 3.0 MP. It's worked great, but eats through the batteries pretty quickly. Here's one of the better pictures I got from it:

It seems to hold up well. It's been outside for about 15 months and it still works great.

Just a "heads up"....

...three different guys locally have told me about having their trail cameras stolen.

They don't know for sure but they say they suspect coon dogs find them, hang around investigating them, and the owners make off with them when they see the flashes.

:uhoh:

[ImARugerFan]

I'm sure it happens. If this is a problem in your area, the only thing I can suggest is a 'no-flash' model, or you could try a lock. They make locks specifically for the cameras, they'll at least prevent the opportunistic thief from taking it.

well my cam. does take the IR pics,well if you call blurs a pics.i had it on movie,I got lots of 14 seconds of black,,,cool huh,,what a great Bushnell camera,im sure it might be a whole half megipix.well its on my back yard right at my apple trees, lots of deer crap.and lots of blank pictures,
I did see the new ones have 5 6 and 7 meg,i bet they,ll show a deer instead of blurs.I'll have to put some of the pics i got so far on here.

[280shooter]

people will take anything,yes i have the lock and cable.that came with the camera,it still wont make it take a good pic,,:evil:

I have the Moultre 4.0 and it works great. It was $99.00 at the end of last season at Wal-mart.

These are shots from a Moultrie 5.0 at night:

In both pictures they're using a "Trophy Rock". It's a pretty good camera and I like it so far. The infrared doesn't spoke the deer, but they must hear it because I've got a couple neat portrait shots where it looks like does are posing.

Round here, seems the deer aren't concerned with a standard flash. Theory is, they're so used to seeing headlights flash through the trees at night that they just ignore it. The IR, however, gets them interested and sometimes spooked. IIRC, they can see IR, and it's not as common. They don't always seem to be spooked, though, I tend to just see pictures of them staring right at the camera on IR images. The 35mm type cameras always seem to spook em, though. The sound of the film winder tends to be the culprit.

Having said all that, I don't have any type of these cameras personally, this is just what I get from a number of users.

load your pictures through tinypic.com. Load them from your hard drive and copy and paste the text thats under "forum and message boards". It will post the pictures on this site.

and i too have been looking at some of these cameras. although it seems you get what you pay for. the ~$120 deals at cabelas and what not dont seem to be the best.

Must be those fandangle new white deer I hear so much about....the blend in with the background quite well. :neener:

PS Nice shot of that buck Chuck...ooo I made a rhyme!

I use Moultrie I-40s (3) and I-60 (1) and really can't tell there is that much benefit from the more expensive I-60 that has a tiny viewer window (not good for daytime viewing, but dawn or dusk is okay) and higher res files aren't that much better, not enough to make a significant difference.

Yes, the IR shots are not as clear as white light flashes. Then again, they don't seem to startle the animals as much either.

I have news for you. I can see the IR as well. You see, the LEDs will glow a dim orange and that is what produces the IR. It is normal, visible light. The deer stare at the camera partially because of the glow, but partially because many cameras will make some noise. The Moultries will move an IR filter in place for the image to be taken, for example. This makes a small noise, but not such that the deer are bothered by it, or the coons, or anything else.

The running bucks is one of my new favorite images. I have no idea what startled them or was chasing them as the next two pics in the sequence were simply of the field.

The 2nd image is a strange beam of light image that one cam caught. I had the cam set up to take three shots at a time (which are spaced about 15 seconds apart) at intervals of no less than 1 minute when movement is sensed. The beam showed on in one sequence of 3 with no other images taken for several hours before or after. It is just one of those cool, freaky pics.

I have a little water hole that gets attention from a variety of animals including the occasional hawk and Mr. Hog. He has found a muddy spot above my water hole in which to make a wallow. I don't like Mr. Hog.

I agree, I've gotten countless pictures of deer moving in on the camera as the shots are taken with the IR. They're more curious than startled. My I50 makes an audible click as a picture is taken.
