Default Tougher than I thought.

I just got my first game camera for Christmas this year and I am finding that there is more to it than Ioriginally thought. So far I have left it out twice for about a week at the time. The first time I got 4 pictures of the woods at night and the second time I got 3 pictures of the woods during the day. When I retrieved the camera the first time I noticed that a spider had built a web over the motion sensor. This last time I believe that I did not properly account for the sunset and that triggered the camera. Below are points that I have learned so far on my own, please add to these if there are other points that I need to know

1. I was spreading my corn out too far, it needs to be more centralized to get the deer in the pictures at night. I have a Wildview 0.3 MP by the way.

2. Be aware of sunrise and sunset positions.

3. The deer may not have found my corn and/or are not regularly going to it yet. The corn is being eaten, but the area is wrapped up with squirrels and I think that they are eating a lot of it. I will keep putting it out and hoping for the best.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
