Is there a way to avoid it? Is my camera too close?

Too close. The flash is reflecting off the subject. Move it back, or move the bait further away.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

You could also put bits of masking tape randomly over the flash if you like those close-ups. Does this happen all through the night or only when there is also some daylight (dusk)

That's the trade off for a good flash range, too much light up close.

You can adjust the IR light on some cameras.

Is that an IR flash cam. I looks like a standard flash. Is so yes to close. If it an IR flash you shouldn't get that at all because they don't flash white. My cams have had elk right up to the cam and it showed a great pic everytime.

Yes your camera is way too close. With todays trail cams you have quite a detection range. However most night shots are going to be of low quality.

Went thru multiple Bushnells that would do this, even if the object was 15’ away.

I moved it back today. It can range out fairly far.
