Trail Camera Help!!

[David Frank]

I just checked my trail camera for the first time since hanging it last monday. My memory card was full!! Talk about an excited feeling until I got home and realized there was not a single deer in any of the pictures. I have a moultrie game watcher 2.1 and have pictures every minute for about 3 hours in the morning and 4 hours in the evening of nothing. There were no pics taken at night or in the afternoon. I don't know how to explain this other than maybe the sun was setting off the infrared sensor.

Any help or advice would be nice.

Thank You,

Dave

Was the camera pointing either east or west ?? If so, the sun rise and sunset shadows, triggered the sensor.

It would explain this phenom. in the directions !!

I am still getting used to using my camera in the field also. I have had a few instances with only sunset/rise pics or nothing but bright sun. It can be frustrating and a big let down when viewing. I guess I need to consider placement of the camera better myself. Good luck in the future

I have had the same thing happen with my camera. I also found that if the trees or tall grass in front of the camera was moving it would trigger it to take a pic.
