Ive got a SpyPoint too, but my pictures aren't as clear as yours.  Mine is a bit older, but WHAT TYPE do you have?  Nice looking pictures - good to see the deer are coming around.
I forgot I had my camera out all winter, and took out the card to 250+ pictures throughout the winter and spring, until it finally died.  I was shocked it lasted that long - but got a picture of a buck before it shed its antlers and then another one of the same buck with the new set.  He is a nice 8? from what I can see, he is a shooter this year - so he is my target on that set of land.

whiteoakbuck -

Nice pics.  Glad you like the cam.  I have several Spypoints and have been nothing but impressed with them....especially for the price.  I've had $300 cams in the past that don't work half as good as a G4 that you can get for $80 (well, you can get one for that price today anyway.  They're on sale.  If I needed another I would buy one but I have plenty right now)

MTCOMMER -

If you have an older Spypoint you might be able to get better pics by updating the firmware on it.  It's pretty easy to do.  Go to the spypoint website (spypoint.com) and hover the arrow on your screen over the "support and service" tab.  Click on "Firmware Update" and select the camera you have.  You should see some firmware update links for improving picture quality (if you have a new one you shouldn't need to do this - it already has the update).  There is also a link giving you installation instructions.  I'd print these off before downloading the firmware.  You will need a clean (i.e. formatted) SD card to put the files in and then use this to update the camera.
