Wondering what results anyone has had shooting deer in low light or wooded areas with flash. Found a great location but it is under a heavy canopy of trees. Thanks in advance for the help

try it, worst that could happen is that the deer would run away....Scratch that-- worst that could happen would be the deer would charge and maul you!

But seriously, try it. It Depending how close you are, and you'll have to be fairly close for the flash to have any effect, i would think it would just spook the deer.

Let us know.

how about off camera with remotes? Put the flash in a tree, find a good vantage point and wait. Think like a hunter.
