If you watch close, the light is in front of everything else, even the feeder. It is between the feeder and the camera. Also, directly above the light is a vertical smear. Still thinking spider with the vertical smear being the strand of silk suspending it. The spider would only have to be a few inches in front of the leds that illuminate the area to reflect that much light back.
The reason you can't see any structure in the light (can't actually see the spider) is because it is so close to the camera that the reflected light is saturating it. That means so much light is being reflected that the digital pixels are essentially stuck on and that energy bleeds over to neighboring pixels which blur the image.
treeslinger, I saw an x-files when I was younger about a bigfoot type thing that was killing people in the woods. Ever since then I usually think about the x-files when I am hunting. Especially in the evening when it is getting dark!

Still not sold on the spider theory, the still picture I have with the orb shows the temperature at 26 degrees.
Fshafly2 and his brother believe it to be a reflection off of the doe as the lights movement coincides/ opposite with every movement the doe makes. I put the video into an editor that allows me to view the video every tenth of a second and they are correct.
Even so, the next time the woods are quiet and dark I will wonder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I just talked with another guy at work and he agrees with you. He believes there is so much light being reflected off the doe's hind quarter that it is causing a reflection on the lens. Because of the curvature of the lens and the movement from the deer it is not easily correlated. I can't slow the video down enough to go frame by frame to look at it that well.
I don't doubt the truth is out there, I just don't like the "truth" being in the woods at night!

Can you turn the gain down on the camera, or turn the intensity of the lights down? I don't have a trail cam and don't know if there are settings for that stuff.

I don't believe so, it is an infrared camera. I wonder why this is the only video/ picture that it has happened on!
I think I will find a paranormal site and let them play with it for awhile ;D

If the recording is from warmer timeswhich it sounds like it wasn't I would say a lightning bug, I agree that it's some sort of reflection.Full moon could have helped. If you have ever used good (government issue) IR; the smallest amount of light can be seen from a mile or so away. It gets really blurry when the object is brighter. You will never see a good infantryman smoke in indian country! Thats why most of us dip or chew; we like our heads just the way they are! If it was taken later than that, I don't know what to tell you other than be careful and if you wake up on the ground missing your cloths in a daze, call Scully or Moulder.

It is a dew drop reflection. I get those every once and a while on the video mode. If not, you might want to call Ghost Hunters!!
