Default Need Help with Moultrie Game Spy

I purchased a Moultrie Game Spy (digital) camera about 2 weeks ago. I have it set up in the Hill Country of Texas (huge deer population). It has only taken about 20 pictures in that 2 week period, and I have it set to take a picture every minute. I have it setknee high, facing north-northwest about10 feet from the feeder.The picture quality is great, but I feel I should have a whole bunch more pictues since the corn is gone everytime I have checked the camera. Does anybody have any suggestions about what might be wrong or is this normal with this camera?

I would change the delay to 20 or 30 seconds. I have mine set at 30, and when I have a deer at the feeder it seems like I get a picture
every minute or so. You can also set it to take 2 or 3 pictures at a time. Try setting it to 2, bet you get more pictures.

Thanks for the replies. I bought this camera at Wal-Mart, so I think the fastest I can set it to take a picture is every minute. Please correct me if I am wrong on this. Also, I have changed it to take 2 pictures at a time today, so we will see what happens.

If you got it from Walmart you are correct about the time delay, one minute
is as low as you can go. I have an earlier model too that will go down to
20 seconds I think. I have always set my cams up at knee high level and
had good results. The only reason I can think of for few pictures is this
great TX heat we have had. I had to get about five feet from mine the other
day to make it go off. When the air temps are 100 it's hard for it to detect
anything. You should be getting night pics though. Keep trying and good luck.
