I agree with cay4redneck and angle it down the trail so you shoul'nt have to use bait plus the right hight for the camera not to much obstructions in front and not strapped to too small of a tree that the wind can blow around and cause false triggers. also depending on what model moultrie you have some havea IR aim feature wich will help determine what is in the line of fire and some have a laser aim wich helps determine hight of camera and angle. I like to use the laser aim on my moultries because I maximize the sensor range wich allows more animals in the range. Good luck and keep us posted!
