Stealthcam--@#%$@!!!!!!
I put out my new Stealthcam, and picked it up this evening. It would make a great commercial for Cuddeback, because 19 out of 25 pics triggered too late, with nothing in the picture!!![:@]Let's like I will be spending a lot more money, unless someone can recommend one that works consistently without breaking the bank.

RE: Stealthcam--@#%$@!!!!!!
I didn't want to hear that, I just picked one up yesterday from Gander Mtn. As we speak I'm setting it up and learning how to use it. I got the I230, anyone else have the pros and cons of it? Preferably pro's lol...

RE: Stealthcam--@#%$@!!!!!!
Another tip is to make sure the camera isn't to close to where you expect the deer. With my camera, if the deer are right next to the camera I have the same problem. I also put it at an angle to the trail.... The deer tend to be walking towards me or away - but either way I see what I'm after...
Here's a couple of pics from my cheap trail camera - the deer are actually quite a distance away from the camera. I placed the camera angeling towards where I expected the deer to come from:

No direct sunlight, no moving objects. I tried walking in front of it myself, ans it was several seconds before the flash went off. Batteries weren't low either. Maybe I got a lemon.
