Thanks guys,

BOWFANATIC, In Pennsylvania, that is a 12 point, if there is any bump at all, it is a point

The camera is the Stealth Cam DIGRC-XTR digital scouting camera.

The unit cost me $388.

I am not sure, but I am wondering if this is the buck that I passed up last year on the first day of archery season. If it is the same buck, he has grew alot of antler. The thing is that they shape of the rack is pretty similar and that 8pt I passed up wasn't killed. Here is a pic of the 8 point I passed up last year..... what do you guys think, could it be the same buck??? He is the buck on the left.......

Hey buck magnet......

Have you resolved your issues with the Stealth. I have the same camera and having similar problems. Mine is eating up batteries, and not taking many good pics. I had 3 the other day in broad daylight, nothing in them. No branches in the way or anything.

In testing mine, it seems to take quick pictures during the day, but a night with the flash you can almost walk through the pic before it flashes.

Any helpful info???

Just curiously, How far from the "target area" is the cam set up. The sensor puts out a cone shape field. If you're too close to the "target" it may not have time to activate and take the pic.

At 15 feet from the target the beam is 13 ft wide. at 30 ft the beam 26 feet wide so being too close may be part of the issue

Ground,

I am still having battery life issues. I have been in contact with Doug Mann at Stealth Cam and we are trying to resolve this issue. As far as quality, I am getting better pics since I moved the camera. I have it facing north now, and befor it was facing more east. I think the sun-light had an impact.

I suggest that you get ahold of Doug at Stealth Cam as he is a very nice guy and he really wants to resolve these issues.

I have a Stealth Cam DIGRC-XTR and it EATS batteries like crazy!! They only last 3-4 days with 4-6 pictures (some day and some night). I just sent an e-mail to stealth-cam and if they can't solve this issue I will probly sell it on e-bay!
