RE: Game cam Tips and Tricks

Its likely that an animal is triggering the camera - outside your shutter view. It could be its too far out - or under/over/left/right of the veiw but inside the trigger cone. I get this problem when turkeys walk close to the camera - Sometimes I get a "Turkey Head" in the shot.
Also the flash on the stealth is not very strong - even with good batteries. Deer outside the flash range might trigger the shots - but you cannot see them. Keep in mind that even in daylight - the deer really should be 10ft-20ft from the camera to make out detail.
To fix the distance of flash problem - position the camera to take advantage of a natural blocker - like a blowdown, or a hedgerow between the camera and where the deer should cross. If for instance on a logging road - the camera should shoot across the road not down it- prefferably with some large tree trunks or a blowdown across.
To fix the turkey example - Sometimes I position the camera lower - or maybe higher at a steeper angle down.
I know other people who duct tape the sensor - to narrow the triggering cone of the device - I have not needed to do this with my Stealth Cams.
Good luck - and keep experimenting.
