I have 1 of those also. For $99 its a great camera. I'll stick with Moultrie. I have 3 now. I can't justify, personally, leaving a $400 camera on a tree. I think you'll be happy when you get your 1st pics. Moultries send bungee cords for securement which I could think of better ways, but I went out and bought an assortment more of them to keep as tight as possible to the tree. If you place on a trail, face the camera down the trail. (Look at the weeds,grass bending overto see if you can tell what way they are going)It gives your motion sensor just a little more time to pick the deer up. Try to avoid pointing it facing the sun. Glare can set it off constantly killing the batteries and filling up your sd card with nothing. Avoid low tree limbs or high grass also. Movement of these will set it off. Try setting up a trophy rock (mineral lick) and set a camera pointing at that. Perfect so seeing whats out there. You know g4l, I've put some out for 3 years now and I'm still learning also. The key phrase is Trial and Error. Good Luck!
