Very nice pictures.Are you using a Yeti setup?How is the trigger speed?I have been considering building a few with custom enclosures to make them near invisible in the woods.

For my setup I'm running Sony p41 cameras from a Snapshot Sniper board in a 1040 Pelican case. The trigger speed is about 1 second.

good pic's. how's it due for night pic's?

Very disapointed with my first night pics. Not sure if it was caused by a weak flash or what. I will try a few new things and experiment to get better night pics.

I am in touch with some "experts" on this setup. Hoping for some advice from them.

Todd. I get about 25 feet of decent whiteflash with my 41's. Always better if there is some leafy canopy overhead to bounce off of. The Sony S600 has a much better whiteflash than the 41's but the trigger is a little slower, maybe by a second or two.
The bobcat was about 20 feet, the coyote about 10.

Not only that, usually a quicker reaction time, reliabilty generally isn't and issue, and with some, [like mine], you can open the case, unplug the cam and take it on vacation or take a pic of the buck you just killed.
