Greg:

I only use mine for "inventory" purposes....and only onmy mineral site in the Summer. I'm kinda surprised (based on the size of the woodlots you say you hunt) that you'd risk going in there enough to check several cameras. You have to admit.....it's a risk.

I have probably a couple THOUSAND images....and I have bucks coming back to the mineral site (after being photo'd at night with a flash) on consecutive nights, weeks and YEARS!

My opinion is the flash bothering bucks/deer is a MYTH. I have too many images of deer in consecutive minutes (after a flash) still at my mineral site. My opinion is.....they think it's "lightning"......or something that is NOT threatening to them.
