Infared flash SPOOK?
My camera has an IR flash and every animal i get a pictures of ends up looking directly at the camera in one or more of the 5 picsin series. I believe they deffiently sense something. Do you think this may spook the animal away? Deer in paticular

What cam do you have? Some models make a clunk sound and sometimes the angle of the cam may be an issue. Most IR can been seen as a red glow when at eye level but not much when angled..................

I have a few pictures during the day with my Reconyx IR camera where the deer looked directly at the camera, then ran away. They came back though after a short while so it must not have spooked them too much. It might have smelled something, who knows.

In the dark you can see the red IR...not as dramatic as a flash but its visible...fact for me- some deer spook from them and some don't.
fact for me- I've had mutliple deer that get flashed and still return on a daily basis.

I would get the heck out too if I kept gettingblinded by a flashcamera every 1-15 minutes. Most of them get used to the redglow. I had some real dandy bucks coming inevery nite before the rut. Proof that most are not going to remain spooked from the red glow.
