Hey there I'm trying to film my hunts this year and I found a web site called Jesses hunting page. www.jesseshuntingpage.com/homebrew-cams.html He said to get a protective lense for a couple of bucks because if the lense gets scratched the cameras junk. Also I'm trying out diffrent things like setting the camera up else where and shooting it at where I'm hunting. I have an uncle that lives in Ireland and he wants me to send him a home made deer hunting video.
