I'm sure its the IR lights Jack, I've seen it happen before with these cudde's. Is yours an IR? A guy just told me that Reconx makes one without the lights.
It doesn't have any lights except for an occasional brief and small blink of red light. I don't know why or what triggers it as it only comes on randomly and infrequent. But it does come on from time to time.
As I said, I have had been on stand when deer go by and the red light blinked and they either didn't notice at all or just briefly looked that way and then went about their way.
However, it does bother me somewhat as it appears to me that it has the potential tospook a deer.
