trail cameras
I got my best ever picture of a real nice buck in my area and I was concernedabout spooking him with the camera so I moved it to another area. I've seenrepete photos of the same buck and I've also seen photos of bucks breaking camp after being caught on film. What do some of you other camera users think on this subject?

RE: trail cameras
I have cameras that uses a conventional flash as well and IR ones. I have found that there is no difference. They do get used to the flash. I keep my cams going year round so I am sure that makes a difference too. I wouldn't just put one out a month before the season and not expect them to react to it. It is like anything else that is foreign in thier environment..they will adapt to it. This is the same reason I put dummies in my tree stands. Deer get used to seeing the form in the stand...come hunting season, they dont get spooked by a figure up in the trees.

During the summer - I've had no issues with spooking deer w/cameras BUT - when hunting season starts - the deer tend to look at them in a differenr light - I've seen the decrease in deer traffic after a few pictures were taken "in season" -
I don't put them near my stands anymore after Oct. 1- better safe than sorry.
Funny though -its usually the old does that are STARING right at the camera - they tip off the other deer - the bucks seem to be too into whatever they are doing,

RE: trail cameras
Great pictures guys. My feelings are somewhat mixed on the subject though. I have multiple pictures of the same buck in the same location over a period of weeks....
..but then again I also have pics of bucks that I see once and never again. I don't necessarily know if the flash is doing it but they are obviously noticing it as many pictures have the animals facing the camera.

I was all excited after seeing this nice buck.
