Is anybody else have problems with this heat? I had one picture in a week and that was last night. Talking with Mossyhorn he said he having problem too and thought it was heat related.
Just wondering if anybody else has the same problems

Yes.
About a month ago or so I had over 500 pics in a 2 week period. Then I had 28 pics (during the heat wave)and this time I had just over 100 (during the heat wave). I think the camera can't read the movement because of the ambient heat of the air.

I think it is both heat and some strange lack of movement of deer the previous week. People across the South were talking about how deer movement shut down the previous week. Now this last week, movement seemed to be back to normal, even in the heat.
I was only getting 2 or 3 pictures per camera the previous week. Yet this last week, with even hotter temps, I was getting 30 or 40 pictures per camera.

Yeah, I was talking to Spoon earlier on the phone. I went to check my cam that had been out just before the heat wave started about 2 weeks ago. Checked it last Friday, Aug. 10th. Had 117 pics in a 1 week period. Got the pics off of the card and reset the event counter and put it back out in the same spot overlooking my bean field. Went and checked it this past Friday, Aug. 17th and had 346 events and not the 1st daggum picture was taken. When I got up to the camera, it said "Warning, Memory Full...No more pics" So I was all happy and ready to see what I had. All I had was 346 events and no pictures. Ran a diagnostic test and everything passed, so i set it up in the house and walked by it and it triggered and saved the pic to the card like nothing was wrong. I moved the camera off of the bean field to a lick I created a couple years ago in some hardwoods to see if it will take. We'll see.
