I also have a Cuddeback, but it just acted up on me and i had to send it back in to the store. I don't know what happened to it, whether it got wet or something. I'll tell you what though, it had great pictures, with a fast triggar speed and with a decent infared range. I think it said up to 30 feet. I can't remember thought i think thats what it is. When I use it i usually set it up on very heavy deer trails. I've never tried putting bait in front of it, but was thinking about it. I know in Pa, your not allowed to put bait out in front of them within 30 days prior to the first day of archary season. Overall i think it is a good camera, but i can't figure out why it acted up on me. Hope you find a good one!
