Littlearrow, Thanks for the quick reply! I appreciate it. Im one of those people that likes to do a lot of research on my purchases before I get them. I'd rather spend a few hours doing research than getting mad once hunting season rolls around about something I could prevented!
The LEDs on the camera I am looking are in rows and identical on each side. There 2 boxes of 3 across and 4 high, for a total of 24. Ive seen some on ebay advertised at 2009 but they have the staggered lights that you spoke of. I wouldn't mind one of those but Ive seen them for $140 without warranty and a new 2009 for $160 with warranty, I have to think I'll go with the 2009. The way Ive seen it, the 2008 have staggered lights, the 2009 have two identical sides of lights (12 on each side) and the 2010 have 32 LED lights. Does that sound about right. The good thing about these camera is that the SD disk fits in my camera so I can just check the chip before I get in my stand, video and all. Of course, I always have a second chip on me in case there are some deer I need some better looks at.
The one thing about the camera I am looking at is that it is camo. A big plus in the urban areas I hunt. They may be urban areas but some of the deer are huge and not hunted. This doesn't mean there dumb though. Ive hunted deer that haven't seen a human before and urban deer and they aren't much different.
My father being a retired Cook County Detective (Chicago's County) knows some of the cops that work in the towns that I hunt. I just found out that the overnight guys said that there are a few bucks around that are enormous, one was by my parents house and 2 bucks were in the neighboring towns that were spotting a few times. My father showed a few of the cops this buck a few days ago and said the two that are closer to where I hunt are bigger. This was last year so I'm hoping to get them on camera and eventually with a bow come fall! Im pretty sure this is a fairly young deer so Im thinking of getting a second camera for my parents for there back yard. I currently have a cheap $60 camera that does the job but Im thinking my dad might get a kick out of some video over the bird/deer feeder.
