There's a small scrape just to the right of the camera and the coyote bait was out in front to the right. Not the fist critter I expected over the rotting fish and meat, but I'm not complaining.

Nice videos stka. The buck in the first one is a dandy. Is that a fox in the second vid? Hes a bigun if so.

Yup that's a fox. Looks big to me, but I haven't seen very many.

Got a few more videos. switched the camera back to stills and moved it to the new bigger scrape on the way out tonight. Looks like the 'yotes found the bait.

The genetics there aren't very good, he could be a 2.5 year old. He is pretty wide too. If I go much longer without a deer in bow range, that big forker won't want to be the first :o.

Nice... too bad you didn't see anything tonight.

Just loaded the software you sent me. Another 1500 pictures of nothing this morning when I grabbed the cam. Just read the cam manual which says "The Low sensor setting mat help in cold weather if the camera is being triggered too often by anything warmer than the surroundings." I didn't realize the sensor detected heat as well. Maybe the change in temps is making it go nuts? Also, I think I had the settings wrong. I walked by twice and it took 15 pictures. SO.. sorting out the mess and will give it another shot this weekend.

Halfrack33, After you get the software updated I would try getting it set up and turn it on. Leave it in a corner with nothing in front of it for a while and see if it takes pics for no reason. If it does, it's definitely got runaway pic disease.

I'm not surprised I'm not getting deer close. I have a stand I want to hunt, but it's probably 800 yards from where I have to park with the ground soft and muddy. I'm aggravating my foot with the couple hundred yards I'm walking now. Getting a deer out is going to be rough.

Did it and had no pics for 2 hours on normal sensitivity. Thanks for the help
