I have 8 mp cameras. They have terrific day time photos. They are both also IR cameras, and I'll tell ya that no, I do not see megapixels come into play with IR. just the nature of IR. I've found the only reason for needing a higher mp camera is just to make things clearer when u do decide to print photos off, and you are zooming or cropping the photo

Agreed, 5mp is good enough for a game camera. Now if you were going to print 8x10 photos, and want high quality prints, then go as high as possible. I have a 12mp, and the night time photos arent any better then any other IR camera, but the day time pictures, I can zoom in, and check out the tiniest things on the pictures. But really 5mp is enough for a game camera.

1st bucks I've got on camera this year. Hung it on a branch about 12 ft off the ground over a salt block. Had pictures of smaller deer and other critters visiting the block too. For reference, had deer on the block about 3 days after putting it out with deer walking by and ignoring it the first 3 days. They've been on it since and the block is disappearing fast in a decent sized bowl in the ground. The bucks only show up around midnight, however.

I think the bigger of these two would be very nice to arrow.

Well I let the cam soak for two weeks. Ended up with 568 pictures, all of Doe's and one button buck!!! sick

But where there are lots of Doe's the bucks have got to show up soon I'm betting! smile

That's cool! I've always dreamed of finding two nice bucks fighting while I'm out there.

One of my stand set ups was in an area that I was finding lone beds on a hill side that were getting used repeatedly. They would be down 30-40 yards from some heavy under brush but pretty clear below. All the beds were on the uphill side of large rock or tree stump.

They were all pretty un-approachable and had great views. Nice fresh lumpy buck turds on the trails too!

I'm thinking I've got a smart mature buck using this as his bedroom, so up the stand goes. I figured I'd have to get in real early to hunt it but I left the camera to give me a clue as to what I might be hunting.

Well, this pic explained a lot... Crippled right rear leg, scarred up face with what looks like infection oozing out around his eye. Poor guy!

Very sad. Some times you just want to help them out by letting an arrow go. But, then where do some of the three legged deer I have seen still running around come from? They still have to suffer for a long time before and if they make it. frown

The first photo has a striking resemblance to the second photo, but I'm fairly certain that these are two different deer. The cameras are on two separate parcels of land that are within a half mile of each other. What do you think?
