Well i got my Cuddeback for christmas and put it out on 12/25 at 9:30 pm, i had to get it out there i was chomping at the bit. I got the picture at 3:46am just a doe. I had the cam to close to the trail and it took the picture too late. I moved the cam to a huge deer trail and hopefully will get some more good pics. Here is a pic of the doe, not the best but it was my first picture.

cool, I know I get excited every time I go to check my cameras, then when you get some nice bucks on there its even better

I thought the cuddeback had the best trigger time? It appears that deer was in view for a few seconds.

The clarity of that picture is amazing. I am thinking about picking a trail cam up, should I be looking into the Cuddeback?

Hard to say. The foreground clutter could have messed with the sensitivity of the sensor. Really not a good spot for a camera.

Deerhunter18: I know you were just anxious to see what it had, but try not to disturb the area more than you have to. Once a week is the max for me.

You will love your Cuddeback, I get almost 1500 pics from one set of batteries. Try dumping out a bag of corn in front of your camera, if you don't have an abundance of acorns {like we do} you should get some nice pics, don't take long to see what kind of critters you have left for next year.

But if that was so wouldn't it have taken more than 1 pic? I'm in the process of sorting through all the different trail cams and trigger speed is a big issue with me. Does take very clear pics, that's for sure.

Cuddle back has good trigger speed, but the clutter infront might have "fooled" the motion sensor a bit.

One way to give the camera a bit more chance is to not face it 90 deg to the trail, angle it slightly up the trail.

great image...very clear

sweet. is that some kind of ramp on the right?
