Welcome to the forums, great to have you aboard. As mentioned before, always make sure you trim any vegetation that might move in the wind from around your camera. This will cut down on false triggers. I own two Moultries so I know they are not the fastest unit out there. Always point them looking up or down the trail and not across it. This will overcome any slow trigger speed. If it is legal where you live, you might consider putting some food in front of the camera to make the deer linger there for a while. This will give you better perspective on the animals you are watching. Never point the unit in a direction where it will be looking directly into a rising or setting sun. Doing this will give you terrible pictures. If you leave the camera in the field for long periods of time, make sure you clean the lense and sensor when you do go out to swap cards. This may save you from missing something you would really like to see. If you haven't done so, consider buying a camera safe for your unit. There is a company called camlock box that makes really great boxes at a very good price. In addition to the lock boxes I also use a python cable lock on each of my units. It is not completely theft proof but it will keep an honest person honest. We all look forward to seeing your pics and you will also find that this will become a very addictive hobby. In other words, if one camera is great, two would be better and then three and four and so on.

Blessings.....Pastorjim
