wouldnt it be hard because u would have to wait till the deer goes right in front of the camera?

yes but i would try and put it in a spot where i think he would be for the shot . I know there is a margine of error
but i thought it would be worth a chance and try

I do this all the time. I set up the camera for 30 sec vids. Many times more deer are behind the original deer that snapped the pic. A lot times there is a buck you wouldn't have seen due to the camera resetting itself for the next pic.

I would recommend 30 seconds tops because it eats alot of memory and battery. I enjoy video clips because it gives you some different angles you might not get with a regular picture. I only set mine up to take videos at night, that might be something for you to consider. In the day time mode any little thing can set off the video clip like a bird or strong wind. At night it seems to cut down alot of unwanted videos but you do get the occassional raccoon.

mine won't video at night it needs the flash. I'm not worried about battery consumption it is only 90 sec and afterwards i would take out after the hunt

I misread also. Personally, I wouldn't attempt to video my hunt with a trail camera. What are the odds that you are going to have it pointed in the right location when it comes time for the shot? I think that a tree arm and regular vid cam would be far easier and better quality.
