Have any of you noticed missing pictures of deer both right after sunrise and before sunset? They last two deer I have shot have been at 7 in the morning and 540 at night. Then last week when I pulled the cards I noticed neither of the cameras had one single picture of these deer. I Know there should have been as they were out there at the feeders for at least 15 minutes each time. I do have pictures of deer before and after though so the cameras should be working.

If the animals move slowly enough, they are invisible to the cameras because they don't set off the motion detector. So if they are grazing their way through slowly, they may not show up, regardless of the time of day.

I have watched my cameras through night vision NOT go off for the better part of 15 minutes with multiple deer in front of the camera, but they were all moving slow. Once one raises a head too quickly and the camera takes a picture.

That makes sense with the exception of the last deer I shot. The deer I shot was behind the feeder and there were two other doe eating corn under the feeder. When I took my shot the two under the feeder had to have made enough movement to set the camera off as they disappeared In a hurry
