If looking at a clearing - within the forest, usually not a problem, grass is usually short from browsing etc. On a river clearing, you might just have to put up with some bush swaying in the wind or long grass. One funny thing that happens from time to time - had a bloody spider sit on the cam lens. Had 3 days of heaps of pics as he slowly moved across the lens then buggered off. I have been leaving my trail cams in the hills up to 6 months but usually around 3 months as always keen to see what's on the SD card. I have has chamois, pigs and red deer plus rodents of course.Attachment 177611Attachment 177612Attachment 177613

Sweet mate had any issue with missing cameras and what do you use for batteries?
