Hell the Reconyx is a black IR so you can't even see it go off.
I know as I have one.
Some cheap cameras make a clunking noise when going off but that Reconyx shouldn't make a peep or any kind of visual when taking a pic.
pnut,
Thanks for the response! For a long time I didn't think the deer were spooked by the IR and Reconyx style cameras either. However when I started using the video mode on one of my cameras I did notice they started to spook from time to time. Earlier this summer I saw this video and it reinforced some of my observations. This is the video link that I saw earlier this summer:
