I have the same problem. I put my stealth cam up behind my feeder by about 50 yards on a trail that goes to the feeder. I went to get the film developed and all the deer had already walked past when it took the picture. So now i'm going to set it up looking at the feeder. If you don't use feeders then i was told to make sure the camera is facing north b/c of the sun or something has something to do with it making the camera less sensative to take pics.
