Well I checked the trail camera today and finally got one picture of the bucks. I only got 3 of the bucks but they are so hard to see, I can't tell how many points they have. There was 32 pictures but I had the same problem pretty much, they won't come close enough to the trail camera yet, I guess they are spooked. Hopefully I'll get all of the buck up close soon, I'm guessing there is atleast 6 nice bucks back there and one giant.


The eyes in the background are the bucks, 15 yards closer is all I need.

BTW is there a camera that has a good enough flash to reach those deer behind the doe? Mine was bought about 5 years ago, its about time for a new one.

how long do u leave ur camera out

Atleast a week, its only been up two days but its right behind my house so I just go check it mid day. The battery is about dead so I'll have to go check it again tomorrow.

It looks like they're pretty good bucks. Good luck in the fall.

Its only been out 2 days, and the batteries are almost dead?

No this battery has been used before I put the camera up two days ago.

New batteries should help, also a slight up angle looks like it would help.

Go get you a new camera and let it set for a while. You can buy good cameras now for ~$100 and they will last atleast a month, and up to 5-6 months, on a set of batteries. I like the Truth Cam 35 made by Primos. It is a very good camera for the money ($99). Battery life is supposed to last for 30,000 pictures. Last years model would last about 2 months for me. It is an IR flash, so the deer would be less likely to notice. Just my opinion, hope it helps.
