flashes

[MattySuto]

Has anyone had any issues with the flashes or maybe spooking the animals? also...my camera has a motion sensor but in order for it to go off the animal has to be moving or doing something in order for it to finally take a pic.....has anyone had any issues with animals not coming back because of the flash it scaring them or anything...just curious.,..

I have never had any issues with the flash scaring off an animal. I have had bears come back multiple times and got caught by the flash each time while they just meandered by.

If they do get scared then this girl hasn't stopped running yet

Never seemed like the flash bothers them. I've had Elk,Deer,Bear, Yotes,etc... eat for hours while the flash just get going off.

Most of the population of animals no and when over a bait usually not, but from what I observed back in the day when there were only flash cameras is the mature bucks were not a fan of the flash.I ran a camera on a bait from June 1st till late august only to get 2 pics of a particular buck. This buck was always around the bait. He was super spooked over the camera, I took it down and was able to see the bait from 200 yards away and he was there every evening. I would never hang a flash camera either on just a trail, specialy if your after a old buck.

Two legged critters could be alerted too.

Thats what my camera pics look like.... but it gives off a huge flash its more like 2 quick flashes and then its good to go....but the picture quality is good... it doesnt loook like the other pic on this topis where you cant see anything except a outline....

I read somewhere years ago, that animal's eyes didn't seem to register on the new LED flashes, but the incandescent flash like huntnnw was using spooked them.  I think it was something to do with the wavelength of the light that their eyes didn't process.

I havent had any issues yet of flashes from my cam scaring whitetail, mule deer or black bears.

[huntnnw]

I have been able to watch many cams from a distance, the flash always made the deer jump or run 10 yards away and comeback

Flash may not scare the deer or elk but it will attract the bears to your cam so get a security box.

That's why I bought IR cameras.
