We run Spartans, just the photos only. I run cameras 365 days a year. We’ve used them for everything from security, to deer, for trapping, duck holes, etc.
We tried some Reveals but whatever kind we had scared deer. Well, scared off mature bucks. They were no flash but that IR would light up the night in pics. After one buck left, we found him again and placed another camera. Same thing happened, one pic and not seen again. We found him a third time and went back to a Spartan and he never left that spot.
We sold those Tactacams after that.
I do know folks that get big bucks with them, they just didn’t work for us. We spend a lot of time finding mature deer and trying to keep up with them that we can’t take a chance on something spooking them.
