ttugmc,

Welcome to the forums, it's always good to have fellow addicts in your addiction. I have 2 I-40s so I do have a little experience with them. First of all make sure you have the latest software downloads on them. You can do this by going to www.moultriefeeders.com. Another thing I've found with the moultries is they like their sunlight, so be sure, especially at this time of year with the thicker foilage, to try to put them in an area that gets decent sunlight. If not you will get a lot of b/w pics during the day and possibly some whiteouts. Also, since the moultrie is not the world's fastest cam, you may want to consider putting something for the deer to eat in front of the camera. Like Don said, point the camera up or down trails and not across them, also making sure to clear all the ground foilage. That way the camera has plenty of time to react. For deer, I usually place my cameras about waist high and about ten to fifteen yds. from where I expect the subject to be. You can place it further away in the colder months but now that it's hot, it needs to be closer. Maybe some of the rest will have some different ideas for you but those are the ones that I can think of right off the top of my head.
