Ok guys, I am convinced I have one that does. I have been using an older Simmons camera for years and that thing has taken 10's of thousand pics and I had never thought it affected the deer any at all. Well last year I bought a new camera and placed in over a bait site (Baiting is legal here in NC) that I had the Simmons camera set up for weeks. On the Simmons camera I was getting 300 to 400 pics every 24 hour period mostly at night of bucks and does and they didn't seem to be bothered by the camera at all while eating the corn. When I put the new camera out and took old (Simmons) away the deer activity almost completely stopped when compared to before. I would get maybe 30 pics in a 24 hour period. I had both cameras set with the same delay at 1 minute. With the new camera you would get the first pic as the deer came into view and the next pic was with the deer looking straight into the camera then usually it would be another deer on the next picture with the same. At first I thought the deer had just moved or stopped coming into the corn but I noticed most of the pics I was getting was of deer looking at the camera. So I started another bait station about 100 yards away from the first one and put the Simmons camera over it and almost over night I started getting the normal 300 to 400 pics of the same deer that was eating the corn at the first site. Now keep in mind both bait sites are in view of a box stand that me and my 7 year old son hunt out of and we never fired a shot at any deer from either bait site all last year. (He was wanted to kill one of the bigger bucks we had on camera but that never happened.)
So fast forward to this year and I have again been putting out corn at a different location under some apple trees and was just feeding heavy without using a camera and the deer was wearing it out. So I took the new camera and put it out and again within a day or two the deer stopped coming to the apple trees. So that got me to think something is up with the camera. I switched the new camera with the old one and in just a couple days the deer are back to wearing the corn and apples out.
So I took both cameras and set them up in the yard yesterday and walked by them and even rode a 4 wheeler by them just to see if they were taking the same number of pics and both seemed to be getting just as my pics as each other. I had my son walk past them and I cant hear any noise from either one. It was getting close to dark while we where doing our experiment and I noticed the new camera has a bunch of red led lights that will light when it takes a pic and the Simmons does not have any. That is the only thing that I can see that is different. I really think the red lights are scaring the deer when they see them at night. The reason I'm sharing this is I bet there is a lot of people that are using a camera like this and it has changed the way the deer they are hunting.
