Default RE: scouting cameras

The camera started out great. But after about 2 months started to get a lot of pix w/ nothing in them. I took great care on the set-up - make sure it wasn' t facing the rising/setting sun - replace the batteriers - check for small branches that might trip the sensor in the wind - " walk" test to make sure it was w/i range of the trails etc.

I burned many rolls where the camera would take a pix and then just snap pix until the roll ended - even on time delay. You could see the clock imprint and each minute was snapping a pix.

I didn' t use it much during last deer season/winter - decided to send it back this spring and they fixed it. Replaced the sensor - camera - wires - the only thing that was the same was the housing unit. I have had the camera out for 4 weeks now and I have only got it to take 5 pix. It' s on heavily used trails - I actually sat about 75 yards from the camera and watched 10 different deer travel the trail.

Just doesn' t seem reliable. oh well
