After a few more days I removed the camera from the test areaand was pleased to see more great photos and the battery still had 30% left after 60 photos inover a week ( not counting the test shots in the house). I am using a Rayovac 6v Maximum plus and it seems to work well and it is approx 6 bucks. I have the camera set on 2 pics and 1 minute delay.

I have used the cameras hard drive as well as the SD card option and booth work the same with no problems. So Far so good.

Here is a Daytimepic.

nice pics

hey buck442, how long does it take for yours to go off?? i got the same one and it takes bout 10 sec...is urs like this 2?

I like mine too so far , but dayum that thing can chew up a battery ! I'm looking for a solar panel for it before I set it out again .

Very nice pics!!

Buck442, is your camera placed over a food source? That's the only thing I have not tried. Next step is in the trash. All I got this year from mine was ears and partial antlers because of the horrible shutter speed. I tried the angle thing on the trails and that didn't help either. And to make it worse I bought one of Moultrie's rechargeable batteries, and that died too. Not impressed with mine. Should have put the $100 I spent toward the Cuddeback. Glad to see it works for somebody.

Nice, one of these days I'm going to drop some cash on a good cam to have some fun!

cool pics

The shutter or trigger time does seem a little slow approx 3-5 secs. I have mine placed facing a trail and I did place a little supplemental food souce out. I also have some noses and ears as well but it usually gets the entire body on the first shot and partial on the second.
