I am looking at getting a game cam, but I have heard that the ones with the flash will scare the deer out of an area. I saw one at bass pro with no flash therm pic, but it was like 400.00. What are some of your experiences with them?

Thanks

The infrared's are nice but pricey. I haven't had any problems with the flash scaring deer from my camera

I have had cameras for several years and have sat in a stand watching deer in front of my camera, and I have never had deer react adversely to the flash. I even have a Camtrakker with the "strobe light" flash.

As the other said, I dont think the flash bothers deer in my area. Ive used cams for about 5 or 6 years now, and get lots of pics of deer standing there for long periods of time not seeming to be bothered by the flash. What I did notice was that the 35mm cams did spook them with the noise of the film advance, but not the case with digital cams

Thanks for the tips, do you guys recomend a good cam?

I've got a Moultrie camera set up in my backyard and watched two does get their pictures with a flash taken tonight without even flinching. This camera has worked great and was under $100's.

cuddeback!there real good

Another vote for the Cuddeback.. The Moultrie cams are OK too for the money but I dont think thay are as good as the Cuddeback, I own both, and both have their place.

I got a moultrie game watcher from walmart this fall and love it. about $100 plus memory card, 2 rechargable batteries and charger, came to about $150, totally paid for by winning all the buck pots opening weekend with my first buck ever, which i also got a pic of 2 days earlier, while he nibbled at the deer block for about 7 or 8 minutes w/o getting spooked by the flash. heres the pic
