After hearing about cuddeback for years i finally went and bought 2 IR's. I have nothing positive to say about them. Every time i called customer service they had a different excuse ie memory card, brand of batteries, temperature, etc. I exchanged them for the capture with flash and nothing improved. After trying 6 different cuddebacks i exchanged them for the $99 Primos Truth Cam. Great battery life 2,000 pics plus, great range, and pretty good pics for under 100 bucks. Take my advice and exchange it where you bought it. You will be lucky to get your camera back by spring turkey season if you send it back to cudde! Notice in cuddeback sample pics(at least on the display at bass pro) that the deer are 3 feet away from the camera! That is why your day pics are of your face while you are unscrewing the bolt to check the camera. Sorry for the long post but after all the wasted tanks of gas and missed pics, i am irritated with cuddeback to say the least. Feel free to PM me lonestarhunter if you want anymore info, but you are missing daytime pics right now i promise.
