Been trying to use my game camera the last few weeks. My problem is that there is a delay between the motion sensor getting tripped and the thing actually taking the picture. I've had it out on a couple of trails, gotten a bunch of pictures and there are NO deer in them.
I tested it yesterday by walking by it at a regular pace. It took a picture (with the slight delay). I took the memory card home and checked it and I was NOT in the picture. It is too slow to even get me walking never mind a deer. Very frustrating.
I did get one pic that included a spike antler and ear only. He must have been walking right at the camera and by the tree. I just sprayed some doe urine right in front of it in hopes they stop for a second on the trail to take sniff.
Camera is the Wildview brand from Dick's. I believe it is the cheaper model that was around $60 last Xmas.
Is anyone out there using a reasonably priced camera they have had good luck with? I want to be sure on the next one.
BTW, these things are a fantastic tool for hunting (if they work..). I want to have a couple of them running next season.
