I have my camera scanning right down beside a feeder, I do that to cut the feeder out of the picture, I will miss some deer that is coming in on the other side but most of them will be around on all sides before they leave, I can see the feeder from the house, pretty neat to sit and watch the camera flash LOL. I have lost count of different bucks but probably 8 or 10 pretty decent ones and no telling how many spikes thru 6 points.
