Default trail cameras

Do you guys use trail cameras? I started last year and its the coolest thing. I got to see what was around when I was sleeping or at work. I started with a Stealth Cam but I'm not real fond of it. I now use those Moultries that you can get at Wal-mart. They work well. I was concerned about the flash but saw first hand they do not bother the deer. One morning I was headed into the stand about 4am. I had to go by the camera and it always takes my pic. Anyway I get where the camera is going to take my pic when I hear, in the pitch dark something coming through the woods. By the way, the red light does not scare deer cause that's what I was using to see by. Green doesn't seem to either. So I'm standing in front of the camera afraid to move because deer are going to run over me when the camera goes of. The flash didn't bother them one tiny little bit. The first deer pasted only 10 yards to my left and the second and third farther out. The last one pasted at about 10 ft. they never knew I was there until the REAL close one got down wind. The rest had already gotten down wind so that proved I was doing something right with scent control. So now I can't wait for the snow here to melt down some so I can get the cameras back out there.
