I went to check my camera at my lease yester day.. When i got there i saw the batteries were dead.. but wasnt that worried because the last time i checked it and it had been there over a month the batteries had died the night before i came to get it.. but when i got home the camera only took picutres for 8 days... it had rayovak batteries... i figured they should last longer than that!! I got 657 pictures but still they had been dead for 11 days... no tellin what kinda B&C buck walked by!!
