Some say it does, and some say it does't. But I think it spooks the "heck" outta them, that's why I use infareds.
I think it spooks them at first but they eventualy get use to it and it has no effect on them, but infared is still beter. I have only had one deer that was noticably spooked by infared but the bad thing was its the biggest deer I have ever seen.
yes
Personally I dont think it does. I have a few cameras set up and 2 of them are flash. I baught a flash trail cam and put it in my backyard over a pile of corn the say day I got it. I watched the camera take over 30 pics of 3 days as they at all the corn. The only reason I would say dont buy flash is because the batteries dont last as long.
Yes definatly thats why on a regular trail camera you see one maybe two pics of one deer on infered u see a lot of pistures and i think the pisture is better also
no it doesnt
I have never used one so can't truthfully answer in regard to deer, but I can say that it surprises the heck out of me when I encounter a trail cam unexpectedly. Last year a hunting buddy decided to take a leak about fifteen miles into the wilderness. As he stood there he noticed something on a tree. As he approached it turned out to be a trail cam. We joked that it would have had to have a super digital magnification to see his pexkxr. Somehow he didn't think it was as funny as the rest of us.
I used to photograph birds with a Nikon FM2, motor drive, electronic lighting (strobe) and a remote release. The birds perceived the light as lightning, which is natural, and were never spooked from the feeding station. I tried it with deer and observed from a short distance, and they weren't spooked by the strobe; they didn't know what to make of it, but they didn't bolt.
In my experience, NO. I have had a flash camera take multiple pictures of the same group of deer. Meaning that they decided to hang out for 20-30 minutes while the flash on the camera was going off every 6 min. If they didn't leave, then I guess it didn't bother them.
Interesting question. They do bug me when they go off...
i dont think so most of time they hear it and wanna get closer to see what it is.
I have plenty of multi shot photos that show the deer jumping away on the 2nd and 3rd flash. Not a good sign.
Sounds like buckhunter has substancial evidence verifying what other users feared.
Thanks everyone, i decided to buy a infrared. Thanks!
in 2007 i used a flash camera and had numerous pics of the 170" deer i ended up shooting, but the following year i had a 160" 10 point that i got one pic of and never seen him again! i bought a led and the night pics are better and the deer dont seem to mind it at all!
