Buying trail cameras, cuddie backs not lasting?

[fishcrazy]

I have never had problems with a white flash spooking animals. I have had problems with them giveing their location away to thieves.

I think the IR cams are better for battery life but also easy to walk past and not see. The white flash cams will always tattle on themself even in low light. Not just at night.

I have a cuddyback and i love it fast trigger and great pics

have had my cuddeback almost a year now if not longer and had it out with probly close to 100 pics on it, love it never had a problem with it, takes great pictures and hardly ever and i mean ever get a blank picture, my dads stealthcam is about 90% blank pictures when he checks his, and as far as flash goes i had mine set up in my yard and the deer it got pictures of didnt even flinch when it flashed and i know cuz i was outside watching them

Well let me tell you about flash. Unless it is in a security box it will get disturbed by bears. Don't think they still wont damage it even then.
