    Has anyone ever had an issue with taking pictures on their game cam and the angle it was on? By angle I mean I have my camera up about 5' up on a white pine and it is angled down towards the ground due to a small feed area.
    The next morning all the feed is gone on the ground but no pictures?!? I know the camera is aimed the right way due to the "aim" function on my cam but, No pics?!?!

    anyone ever had this issue? or any issue with no pictures taken?

    Was it on?? I'm guessing it had nothing to do with the angle and was due to the camera itself whether the camera or human error.

    I had the same issue this past card pull. I had only 3 shots (a buck, doe and a bear). All where from the same entrance point. I noticed the camera was angles right but the camera was missing all of shots once they were at my mineral block. Since I have an older camera, it doesn't accept any cards over 1 GB. So when I checked the camera this last time, I noticed I had a good amount of high resolution pictures on the card. Im not sure how full it was exactly, but im guessing it filled up on me? This time around, I adjusted the camera and cleared the card. We'll see if that fixed the problem in a few weeks.

    I had a similar problem the first pull on a older Moultrie I had out this year. It said it had a few pics on it but I notice the SD card hadn't been seated all the way. The pics were on the camera memory and the SD card was empty. The second pull was much better. Mine was cockpit error. I hate when I screw up like that.

    Can't say that is what your problem was but is it a possibility?

    One trick - to insure it's working. Take a pic as you leave and arrive. If you don't show up you know it was an issue right away - and then that battery died etc. Not likely you pointed it incorrectly - most of pretty good range, more likely human error or faulty cam!
