    My MPE5 was out there for 6 days and took 743 pics. There were a LOT of blanks. This is because I wasn't thinking and put it facing a brush line where it got a lot of pictures from the wind :busted: I figured there wouldn't be many pics because the deer population in the area is very little. I was extremely impressed with the picture quality I got from the MPE5. Overall I am pretty happy with the pics. I was pretty excited to see the fawn :tu:

    might want to adjust your sensitivity in that brushy of an area and at that close of range. mabey to medium or low

    The MPE5 does not have adjustable sensitivity. I would whack some of those weeds.

    Nice pics kid !

    Thanks for the input guys. I didn't think about clearing any of it out because this was a temporary spot on a small piece of land thats pretty close to my house. I'll be putting the cam on my main hunting spot this weekend and I have a perfect place for it. A big clearing in the midde of the timber that intersects about 4 deer trails. I'll have some food out there as well.

    When I put cams out in the spring I usually take my weed eater along and cut everything down around the cams. It usually only takes once a year and you're set.
