    I go out set up cam and can watch from house so very sure deer in front of it. Leave it for a week o wait its a moultrie and its brand new so i go get card 29 pics the only one is of me and dog leaving. All of the other pics are just of the woods. Anybody have these kind of troubles. I thought i had a good cam but? dont know. And yes i put man pride down and red the directions.

    Different times? Something is moving causing it to take a pic. Blade of grass even a leaf blowing in the wind. I even had shadow movement set mine off. Good luck!

    Yes different times and i have noticed the shadows. But what about the deer standing with in 15 ft of camera right straight in front thats the part i cant seem to figure out. I have watched them right in front of it. Avery nice buck as well. I am trying turning the delay down thats all i got

    Sure it's not aimed too high or too low?

    Mine will go off like that also if there is any tall grass and tree limbs in front of it. I had one cam take 300 + pics of nothing at all and it was a branch hanging just above that the wind would blow around. Frustrating as heck.
    There will be days when the fishing is better than one's most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home.

    sounds like ya might have got a bum camera. I have had moultree's and some have been really good but I had to take a couple back, too. I have found that the cameras at bass pro and cabela's that are on sale at a really good price, are usually junk. also the cheapest ones you buy anywhere like wal mare, bps ect. aren't great either. my dad and I have tried most brands of camera's and 3 have stood the test of time. 2 moultree's and 1 cuddy back. they all were less than 200$ each. cold weather seems to ruin the cheapo's.

    Can you adjust sensitivity? Maybe turn it up and see if it will start tripping earlier? You might also try fresh batteries....even if you think the batteries are okay, it's a cheap check before returning the camera
