[QUOTE="BSK, post: 3418348, member: 17"] So-called IR cams use visible red light for night illumination. These cams call themselves infra-red (and they do use some infra-red light for illumination), but they use more visible red light than infra-red. Deer can see the red light and it bothers them, causing them to avoid the camera area in the future. True black-flash cams use ONLY infra-red (invisible) light for night illumination. Deer can't see any flash at all. They don't know they are getting their picture taken. I've done a lot of comparative studies between the different types of flash illumination (white flash, IR, and black-flash). Both white flash and IR cams see rapidly declining picture counts when the camera is left in one location for several weeks. In contrast, black-flash cam locations generally see dramatic increases in picture counts over time, once the deer get used to the camera box itself and learn to ignore it once it doesn't do anything threatening or frightening.
