i have a stealth cam and am wondering what you have found to be the best height to place it at? im also wondering what you have the settings for. how many pictures when motion is detected and the time between pics after motion is detected. is there really any need to set it for more than one pic when motion is detected? i figured 1 pic every 4 minutes when motion is detected would be the best and would not waste pics? thanks in advance.

I just hung my first trail camera on Sunday. I have it somewhat elevated and pointing down at an angle toward the feeder I have out simply because the tree is to big for the strap at the level I normally would place it at to be on level with the deer. I do believe something around 3' off the ground in a level application would be best, but that is my opinion and I have never set one out before. Hopefully someone that knows something will give both of us a good educated answer.

I have had a stealth cam for about two seasons now. I hear a lot of complaint about this camera only getting pictures of deer butts or parts of deer, but I believe that it is where you set it up that determines if you will get a good picture. I put mine at a height of 3 to 3 1/2 feet off the ground. I almost always wedge a stick in behind the top of the camera so that it is pointing slightly downward. I also make sure I put the camera in a place where the deer come to and not cross in front of. I seem to get better pictures when the deer are coming into the camera. I have always had good luck with this camera using kodak film. I have tried other film, but the picture seem to be darker with other film. Good luck
