After two failed attempts, and four weeks of frustration, I was able to get photographs of actual wildlife.
Considering the camera was setup just on the edge of the farm yard it was able to get some great pictures. Now I do have to admit that the Hunten GSC30-30IR does not have the best pictures at night, but for the price of the camera, it is good enough for this kid.
I was going to add in all of the good pictures to this post but instead I've only added a couple and you can click here for the full gallery.
