I've been thinking of buying a trail camera, any suggestions?

For the money to quality ratio I'm very impressed with the browning cams.. I have several recon force an you can get this cam with a slate river mount for 145$ shipped to your door from yohemounts.com

Also, the Wildgame Innovations cameras aren't a bad value.  I just got a W6E camera to replace the IR3D camera I have had for 3 years.  The new camera runs on AA batteries, instead of the C-cells that the old camera used.  Battery life with the AA's should be vastly better, but I haven't had it out long enough to know.  The new camera can be set on Wide Angle, and can take video clips, too. Midway has them on sale, now.  :twocents:

Ive been using a couple Moultrie D55irxt that I got e-bay for about $70 apiece and so far been very happy with them. My first soak this year was 3 weeks and I had 2700 pics of animals :IBCOOL:

Last year I was using Wild Game innovation cams and was less than pleased as I got very few pics as well as half the time it didnt even talk my pic when I was going to pull the card :bash:

The first pic is off the moultrie. The second one was frome the WGI cam and notice how green and fuzzy it is.....

Avoid camera's that take D batteries is my suggestion. I've found AA's are best and C's a close second as far as battery life goes.

My Cuddeback will take a years worth of 1,200 pics a week on one set of D batteries  and my primos will take almost as many pics on one set of D's  :twocents:

We're using a Panda, emails us a photo when tripped.  Pricey, but when you figure in gas.

I've had really good luck with the Covert cams. I have the small 3.0 and 4.0. Run on AA batteries and last 3-4 months. Fast trigger and decent video. Paid $89-99 each. Wing Supply has them on sale often. My 2 cents.

I have 2 Cuddeback cameras and am pleased with both of them. an Expert, that they no longer sell or service and an Attack have both out right now soaking and both run on D Cells. The attack uses an SD card up to a 32 GB and the expert uses a CF card up to a 8GB.  They are pricey though but when you can catch hummingbird pictures sure can't complain about slow trigger speed
