    The picture quality has improved. I'd say it will get even better into the fall when the intensity of the light is less. I trashed my last set. It's been in the field for a good two week soak. I will share on the next check. Hopefully I have some bucks on camera.... :( Overall I am pleased with the cam performance. Battery life issue seams to have disappeared when I switch to different SD cards however I can't tell you for certain if that was the problem. I will most likely buy more of them. Just not on my priority list right now with everything else I have bought as of late.

    Bad news. I only got 2 pictures before deer pushed the camera over. It was pointing at the ground for 12 days. :( That isn't the first time I have had them do this! That is a pain point I have using stic-n-pics. Thinking I need to use a t-post to hang cams on my own land.....

    Could it be raccoons that are moving the cam? They are very curious when they see something new.

    I have problems with coons messing with mine strapped to trees. They turn them at odd angles but that's some of the reason I generally check them weekly.

    Damned coyotes. Yeah they get playful and mess with stuff too. I had one pull a length of flexible irrigation pipe across a sweet corn field about three times one summer. He got plugged.

    Frustrating for sure! I've been thinking about doing a T-post too here and there for mine as well.

    Due to weak tripod mount designs in the past the SNP is designed to fold down rather than break the mount in the camera We believe those days are gone and are working on a quick fix Thanks for the input

    Short soak (no bucks) . Wanted to make sure it wasn't pushed over again. I actually moved it to the front of the property where I can check it more frequently without disturbing things so much. I am liking the picture quality more and more. Pic below is a good representation of day time pics.

    Well I take that back. No mature bucks. The little one feeding is a button.

    Honestly...if it rains this weekend I'm planning on post hole digging a couple posts into the ground where no good camera mount is. SNP are awesome but I have been hesitate due to how they can be nocked like you experienced.

    That's what I do in my food plots where a tree is just to far off. SNP are nice but I prefer free
