Now that I think about, it was facing south, that could be the problem. I checked it in the house on the dog and it is working fine, so it was either the brush or the sun. I'll try facing it north and clearing out the triggering area next time.

Luckily for me, I had set on our land, where I go out to work every morning, so it's not too big of a deal since I go out every morning any way. I just wish I would have got a picture of that buck.
