I agree. I don't feel like reading every little post on a topic that I have searched for to find out that I have read the whole five pages, and I didn't even find what I was looking for. Just tell me what I was looking for please.

PA BEN, I had the same issues with the first time I set one up because of the location. It was on a well used path but there was nothing in the area to get their curiosity or to get the animals to stop. This might sound funny but what someone told me was to hang a handkerchief along the route about head level. Most animals are curious and when they see something unusual like that they might stop to check it out... I haven't tried it yet but I have thought about it.   :tup:

I for one, didn't put my camera out until I had a lock box for it.  Even though my cam is out where nobody else has gone, it still gives me a warm fuzzy feeling to know that if someone finds my camera, and wants it, they've got to work to get it.
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

Maybe a bit off topic, but try to put it where there are no BUGS!! I kept getting pictures of nothing, could'nt figure it out - then last time I was over I happened to be standing by the camera when a wasp landed on the box looking, as they do, for a place to nest- sure enough as he buzzed in front - click.  Not sure that's the answer to all of the "blank" pictures but I suspect it's the cause of quite a few.  I'm also not sure what  I can do about it, but if anyone has a cure please let me know-had over 200 pic's last time I checked and the vast majority were just of the landscape.
