Well, my Bushnell Trailscout was out for 5 days this time and had taken 1,124 pictures before going dead in just 36 hours. 583 of those were flash pictures so the NiMH rechargeable batteries seemed to do pretty well compared to 1,488 pictures over 6 days with a set of Energizers with less than 50 of those using the flash.

The bad thing is that 1,400 of the last place that camera was set were false triggers. I assumed that it was a fence post that must have been moving with the wind.

This time I got 541 false triggers in one day and I can't see anything in the picture that would be triggering it.

Here is look at the image that the camera was false triggering:



It was facing to the north about 4' off the ground facing down at about a 15 degree angle. The false triggers started at 8:38 in the morning and continued on every few minutes until 4:42 pm.

Could it have been the sun shining on the corn causing it to trigger?

I'm starting to get concerned that something might be wrong with the camera.

Here is the fence post that I thought triggered the other 1,400 false triggers:



Any ideas?

Thanks, Nathan

P.S. - the Bushnell Trailscout is NOT a good bait camera. It would have gone dead in another day anyway because there were 583 pictures of racoons eating the corn over a two night period before the battery went dead. There isn't a delay option on the Trailscout so it was taking pictures every minute the racoons were there eating.
