whats a good trail camera for cheap

[widgeonwacher]

i don't have a trail camera, but looking to invest in one i just don't know which one to get for a decent price and good pictures.  because I'm trying to see what kind of buck are in this new spot I'm hunting.

[Jingles]

Not by any means is it a less expensive camera but the Cuddeback Attack $100+is the one I use the most over my Wildgame $45 at yard sale

[Timberstalker]

The Moultries are decent for the price. The only downfall is battery usage.

3mp tasco at Walmart. Can't beat the price and it will get you in the game

I would order the Primos Truth Cam 35 from Walmart for $79.97. Add the extended warranty they offer for another $7 (or thereabouts). The extended warranty gives you two years and if anything goes wrong with the camera you can return it to your nearest Walmart store for a full refund, no questions asked. Pretty good deal if you ask me, because most trail cameras don't last more than two years.

Amazon had it for $68.10 last week but I see it's back up to $80. You're better off getting it from Walmart IMO.

Another one I'm looking at right now is the Browning Recon Force that you can get on eBay for $90. It's $130 to $150 anywhere else. I don't have any experience with it but I hear it's a pretty good camera.

I guess you could learn on a low end model and then take a step up to get the features you really want and need for the best performance.

If you're going to use it alot, and you get a wallyworld cam or other low end cam, you will be replacing it, guaranteed.   

Go to www.trailcampro to learn a bit about what you intend to buy....great insight on trail cams.

 Primos Truth Cam 46 Ultra. 69.99 on http://www.natchezss.com/
I just ordered one and after tax and s/h It was only $81.             Normally it runs $160ish but they're refurbished which makes no difference to me as long as it works.
Awesome battery life. 55 Foot range at night, 7mp camera.

Smossy, I'll be interested in hearing how that camera works. They also have the Ultra 35 for $10 less. The only reason I hesitate to buy one is I'm getting tired of shipping cameras back when they go bad. So I've kind of been waiting for a good deal at Walmart or Cabelas.

[buckfvr]

Not looking to argue, but I personally would not buy a refurb based soley on the fact that if their is so many of an item that a resaler can buy a lot of them to sell for cheap, then that  raises my hair.

Its one reason  I have no interest in Nikon scopes......there are literally uncountable numbers of each model for sale refurbed. 

Now thats just me........others probably have had good luck, but Im not willing...

Bobcat, if you buy 3 or 4 at a time, there is a lot less hassle. They break, then buy 3 or 4 more.

Just saw this.
Also just posted a review about browning.

Browning is by far the best I have ran for the money. 115-130 new.

I have ran every $100 cam out there. Most are "okay" at best. The browning is by far the best ive used period. Better than my high end moultrees. Better than my cuddeback. WAY WAY better than tascos, primos, etc....

Only one I haven't tried that looks promising is the bushnell HD's.

NOOOOOOO!!!!!
Burned up 2. Primos basically told me to get bent. (did not have the extended warranty though).

Well once I get the cam and play with it for a few months, Ill let everyone know. I have a few places in mind that might have some game.

My Primos 35 and 46 are both working fine and going on two years now. The 35 I only paid $60 for. I feel it was well worth the money. Yes there are better cameras out there but not for $60.

The first 46 I bought from Walmart online and it took "foggy" looking pictures from the very beginning. So I used it for a couple months then took it back to walmart for a full refund. Cabelas had them on sale at that time so I bought my next 46 from Cabelas, and I still have that one. I actually prefer the cheaper 35 though.

[grousetracker]

the primos 35 is great, i have 4 of them and 1 took over 16000 photos this year 2 sets of batteries.

Sweet, I'll sell you my 35 for $40. Complete with the bear tooth/claw marks.

I have no doubt there is some that are not bad.... I would highly recommend reading the reviews before one was to decide. Trailcampro.com does a bang up job of rating/testing cams.
I have 1 46 that is sitting in my garage (in hopes it decides to work). One I threw away a while ago. I have a 35 that I received after I sent back the first one from going tits up.

For $72 on a buy it now deal one could buy a browning range ops.

Personally, as I said before, I'm trying to avoid buying trail cams online unless it's really a screaming deal. Too much of a hassle when one needs to be shipped back. So I'm waiting for a good price at Walmart.

[Wild Bill]

That is a big bonus to a local buy.

[Mr Mykiss]

I have had great success with moultires...any of em!! most bang for your buck? D50 or IR55.

[huntnnw]

I have several refurb cams all work great including 2 primos truth 46 cams that have been running since May

I've had one of these the last couple years.  It clunks a little when it takes a pic but that doesn't seem to bother the animals.  Takes good pics and the battery life isn't bad.

I got a Simmons trail cam from a member here and it takes great pics.
I would definately purchase another Simmons.
