I am new at this and my first pictures were of racoons at my feeder. Do I have the camera set too low to the ground or what??

Game cams for deer should be about 3.5 feet off the ground, however if you have coons....and corn....you'll get pictures of coons.....lots of them.

I dont mind the coons I just want to know if I am aiming the camera wrong. It is about 2 and a half feet off of the ground with the feeder about 15 feet away. Do I have too much forground in the picture and thus need to move the camera up and only have the picture feild begin at the leggs or middle of leggs? ( Deer approach from the rear towards feeder)

If you're setting a camera up at a feed site it's gonna happen. Hopefully your not using a 35mm!
