Well, I have tried different ways. First I found out that it is sensitive enough to catch my feeder going off at 15 yards. I have some pretty pics of the corn flying in the air.....so I don' t point it to the feeder....

I have put it 5 feet off of the trail and up to 20 yards......same thing.....no deer...no animal nothing but trees....

I was thinking that if the wind blows...it might be setting it off by tree movement....Give me some advice
