I had mine out for 12 days and the batteries were still good but i went ahead and took it down anyways becuase I didn' t wanna mess with it all again becuase it was 100 degrees when I went out. Come to find out it had only taken 2 pictures in that time. What do you think happened? I know its hard to tell. I walked in front of the camera where i thought the deer would be and it took a picture. So what I' m thinking is the deer just weren' t there at that time. I' m going back out this weekend and give it another try. Hopefully this time I can find a better spot and it will work.

titleist_03,

If you walked in front of the camera and it set-off a picture, then, it should be setting off pictures if deer walk in front. I would say that the problem is in the location. Try moving the camera to a different trail. With temps in the triple diget range, I would say locate the camera near a good water source. You will probablly get alot more pics, and these trails might me used all through the day.


I just checked on my camera at location 2 and it is now up to 15 pics. I just set the camera to 2 pics every 1 minute so I can get this roll done. Tommorow I will get them developed and I will scan some pics to put on here.

I will be relocating the camera tommorow thought to " location 3" . This is gonna be the first time I have even went into this patch of woods this year. There is a swamp in the bottom of a valley, and the one hillside is all oaks (which are starting to drop acorns), while the opposite hillside is a thick patch of pine trees. There are alot of old fallen down pine trees in that area and it is a major bedding area. There is a trail the cuts from the oaks, down across the swamp, and makes a circle around the hillside covered in pines. I am gonna set my camera up on a trail and see what happens. (This is the patch of pines that my 130" 8 point came out of)

Could you go over the " test" feature? I walked around in front of the camera and got the red test light to turn on a couple of times. But I was wondering if it had a time delay or how often it should actually turn red while I' m doing the " hey look I' m a deer" thing.

Hey DaveC,

That red light IS NOT the test light. That is the low battery light. There is a little yellow light that comes on for the test light. The test lights on mine are both very sensative and work very well. Like someone else mentioned, the camera has a wide angle and the infared sensor is the same way. If you walk past it, that little yellow light will come on.

I am not sure if you put brand new batteries in, but, that red light is the low battery indicator. When you go check the camera, if there aren' t as many pics as you think should be, switch out the batteries and try again.

P.S. I can' t wait to get my roll of film developed tommorow. I am just waiting for one of the BIG boys to walk past it.

Great post BM,am heading to Wally World to get mine!

does anyone know if the batteries are dead can you switch them out and not change film?

My memory has once again failed me. Yellow light it is. The batteries were brand new. Does the Yellow light flash on and off? or is it on a time delay?

DaveC,

The old age is catching up to you my friend!

I have noticed that the test light will come on as soon as you get in the infared beam, and then will shut off. I am not exactly sure why it shuts off, it could be that it has some charge delay or something. My Moultie Game Cam II from last year was MUCH worse at it. If you set the test light off, you had to entirely move out of the area, wait about a minute, then go back up and try again. The stealth will turn on, then turn off (could be a way of saving battery life), but within seconds will be ready to go off again.

One more thing though, I noticed that if you are directly in the center of the infared censor, the test light won' t go off.

Cool again. Thx

I sent you a PM, but now that I sent it I cannot find where to access the PM' s on this board. If you know where it is, you have one!!

Based on your experiences and subsequent results, I picked one up yesterday. I am going to put it out tonight and check tomorrow afternoon. I see you used the 800 film. Are you sticking with it or do you recommend something else?
