Default Infrared Cameras......?????

I don't want to start any argumentsin this thread,I just want to know if I am the only person who feels this way?
I have done a ton of research on trail cameras the last several months, I own 2myself an older moultrie and a cuddeback capture. Before I bought the capture I was wanting an IR camera but I have not seen any Infrared pics or video that look good to me. It seems to always be blurry or not even bright enough to see the deers antlers real good. I have an open mind, if you own an IR camera(any brand) let me know what you think? Persuade me why I would want one over a flash. Just Curious

Haven't had any problems with my flash cameras so I don't feel the need for an IR camera. Why do you feel you "NEED" an IR?

I've had my Cuddleback NoFlash since Christmas and love it... I've got a nice video of a 4 point and have done multiple tests with it in my house... much much better then my Stealth Cam IR

I also love my two flash cameras, but the reason I was looking into IR is the not spooking game factor but in that first picture it looks like it don't matter. That buck looks just as spooked as some I have with my flash camera.

bucky is just how height you position the camera, if its at eye height level with them and they look at it then they will see the IR or flash, either one and spook

That buck is spooky anyway. I think he closes his eyes when the sun comes up because he is afraid of the daylight.
