This is what I usually see. ;D  Not really. This is the only pic I have with anything in it. The date(this was in the fall 2010) is wrong as I did'nt set it and was in a hurry to just get it on a tree and turned on. I will have more and better shots this year...now that I read the directions,LOL.

We have a few WGI IR4.  for the most part they are ok for the money but I have sent 2 back already for repair.  What model you using?

Same thing,IR4...I'm happy with the pictures it takes.....kinda slow on the trigger,but they are cheap. Some day when I have extra $ I will be getting better cams.

I have not found a trail cam that has a instant trigger speed. They all have a 2-5 second delay at least. I have learned to put my trail cams in spots that the animal will trigger it and still be in the area to get a picture. It does take some time. I once put a camera out went back a week later had 1600 pictures. I was like sweet. Well turns out I have every view of the nice golden rod, every time the wind blew a little the golden rod triggered the camera.

i have been given cameras that friends say don't work because of slow trigger speed, the set up is more important, on a trail do not put it on a 90% angle to it the deer will walk by and trigger late or not at all, use a 30 or 40% looking down or up the trail. cameras with slow triggers are great on scrapes, if placing on a food plot place in plot looking at trails entering(the deer will hold at edge of plot before entering) a large plot will let the deer get out of range to fast for a lot of inexpensive ir's so facing the trails entering helps a lot.. just a few things i learned over the years.

Funny same thing happened to me, had 1000 pictures mostly of swaying weeds. Now I make sure the entire front of camera is cleared of tall grass.
