Default IR spooking deer?(NO)

Anyone else think this?

I had an old moultrie out for ~10 days on a bait pile, several pics of bucks, mostly the same 4-5 bucks at different times of the night.

I noticed awhile back on scrape pics that I never saw the same buck twice while using the Bushnell, chalked it up as bucks are roaming and not likely to come by more than once or twice.
Then I started thinking about earlier set ups, I can honestly say that I haven't got multiple night pics of the same deer on the Bushnell, buck or doe.

Looking through my pics, it's obvious that deer have the wth reaction when the ir goes off, and they seem to never return like they do with the incandescent flash.

Your thoughts

Oh and what brought this on is I swapped the Moultrie out with the Bushnell, the Bushnell has taken 3 pics in 2 days
all those were within 6 hours of setting up the camera, none since except for some does around 11am today.
Same location the Moultrie was taking 12-18 pics a night.
