Game cam problems

[bt2143]

anyone else have problems with their game cam taking pictures of mostly shadows of their feeder? I had 70 pictures of mostly shadows and a few pictures of deer. The feeder is in an opened up area, just getting very frustrated with it

I used the same make and model and it worked for one season...we use primos 35 , 46 models and the small Moultrie cameras....your camera uses a filament flash newer cameras use LED, the Charged couple device or CCD in your camera may also have a problem...I would avoid any wildview cameras we tried them and nothing but problems

It has been my experience that all game cameras will take pictures of nothing. Most of the time, it's either been the tree the camera was attached to was moving or there was something in front of the camera moving such as a bush, grass or a leafy limb. You just notice the shadows when looking through the pictures but I don't believe that's what causes the camera to take a photo. Why get frustrated? The camera is doing what it's supposed to do. Move it or look for what may be causing the issue. I know this sounds fairly obvious because well, it's fairly obvious. You're welcome. Captain Obvious.
