IL BOW MAN is right! At night you might get 20' with your flash if your lucky. During the day you'll get shot further away but the deer are really small. The optimal distance from the camera is about 6' to 12'. Its not hard to get shots like hat, you'll be amazed. I got the Trailtimer Photohunter. Very easy and very crisp clear pictures. I put my camera out July 20th and now have about 140 pictures. I move it every 5 days to a week. This thing is a blast! Its amazing what you learn about the deer.

Have fun! Good Luck!

PRACTICE....PRACTICE....PRACTICE......SUCCESS!
