Default RE: Trail cam tips?

ORIGINAL: GregH

Guys,
I've had a Cuddeback cam for the last three seasons. It seems that after about a week, the deer either become camera shy or begin posing for it. I believe that it is caused by the flash during low light conditions. This means that I have to go out and move it regularly, thus scenting up the woods more. To help allieviate this problem I've purchased three more Cuddeback no flash cameras and card viewer. My birthday present to myself, don't know what I'm getting myself for X-mas yet! I should have had them a month ago. When the second rut starts there is a peak in big buck activity and I want to cover more trails at once because I'm sure that there are some real monsters out there that I never see. I think it'd be fun to try and catch them on camera before they get camera wise.

Does anybody have any tips on how to set these up so the deer don't detect them so easily? Will the no flash do it for me? It seems that even with the no flash, they seem to pick it up, going by the pics I see where the buck is staring at the camera.

TIA
Another cool trick I do with my no-flash is set it up on a good trail but I mount it on a branch above the trail. It works well escpecially if you put a little food under the camera to get them to stop and pose for you!
