Default Game Camera: Reduce number of photos

I have a Wildgame Innovations game camera I bought from Walmart recently for about $56 and I don't know the model. I also have two Stealth Cam G42NG cameras; they cost about twice as much as the Wildgame cam. I have read the manual for the Stealth Cam and hoping somebody can just tell me some way they have found... to not take so many photos! For game cameras I have on feed sites, I have several deer that might be on site for quite awhile, as in, an hour or two. That's too many photos. Can I make a cam trigger due to movement and then take a photo every so often or how can you set one so it triggers less often or takes less photos after triggering? I did take it off of 3-photo burst, it was taking 3 photos every time it triggered. But even one photo every minute (or whatever it is set on) is a lot of photos! Anyone had this problem and found a solution?

I have Stealth Cam G30s. In the menu you can set how often it triggers, 30sec, 1 min, 5 min, etc.

Checking my manual for Stealth Cam G42NG, I think this might be called PIR Delay, the length of time the camera will delay before reinitializes the next activation. Seems that this would solve my problem. I don't know what to set it on. If it's set now on less than one minute (it must be), I could set it on 10 minutes or whatever and that would reduce number of photos.

I have the same problem but the good bucks that normally show up don't stay that long. I went ahead and left it on a 1 min delay and got a larger memory card so I don't miss big boy. I get around 250 pics a day and just have to weed through them all lol

Don't know about yours, but my cameras have the option to change the delay between pictures.
