Same problem here.I've gotten over several dozen pics with my trail camera and the times that they're moving is between 9pm and 3:30am in my area. Just wait until the pre-rut / rut then hold on. That might be your best chance....

This is typical for this time of year. I also am getting a ton of activity from my trail cams at night, and all night at that. During the "October lull" I go deep into the woods trying to get big buck that wants to muddle in the canopy for a while before dark. This has worked for me quite well.

Pre-rut....right now. In Iowa, therut almost always starts around the 7th of Nov. and I always use the Nov. 1st as a mark when the bigger bucks start moving more in daylight.
