sorry all,

Was tying to upload shots of mule deer and some elk, but files are to big.

on the subject of game cams, I have had a number of elk find the cam and I get shots of a nose, eye and so on. Do they smell the cam and my scent or do the cams make some noise they can hear? When I have been holding the cam setting it up it will take a shot or two of me and I do not hear anything. just checking on if anyone has seen this with deer.

Yes, your scent is a dead give away...
Most whitetail bucks will vacate an area if they get wind of your scent.
They can also easily pattern you when you leave your scent in the woods after each visit.
