in the woods typically you want to set them up slightly "quartering" a trail. it allows time for a digital camera to trigger before the deer are out of the shot. or you can also set the camera father back from the trail to allow a larger "shot" window. in a field i typically setup close to an entry trail but quartering into the field. i set mine for the fastest times you can set them, 2 or 3 shots at a time, and always high res. it may take a few attemps to get the camera position, location, and angle in the right spot. the majority of the pictures i get are junk. squirrels, rabbits, birds, half a deer body, etc.
