Hey neck, It also depends on your camera. I'm not one tobuy $400 cuddebacks either, but if I put my old 35mm camera on a tree right beside my cousins cuddeback he gets pictures and mine never triggers.

I bought a moultrie 2.1 digital for 60 bucks this year. It takes loads more pictures and even then I'm probably missing a few that the more expensive models may pick up.

So I'd say don't rely 100% on a camera it's just another useful tool.
