How many
« on: May 12, 2014, 01:08:12 PM »
Just wondering how many trail cams you have and how many you would like to have.  I have 4 and would like to run around a total of 10-12. Only 3-4 in an area.

I currently have 4 and that is about right for me given my time constraints. If I had more free time I would love more but right now, 4 keeps me plenty busy.

I've got 6 but I've never had them all out at once. This year I will though. I don't  think I need anymore.

Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I have three. One by Primos and two by Browning. I have an elk tag this year I have been putting in for 5 years to get so I probably should buy a few more cameras I guess.

Read the first sentence and thought "Wow! I didn't know Leupold made them". They must be good.) Guess not eah? My Dad put a 3x9 Leupold on my 6mm back in 1976, and it's still like new.  :)

I have four live ones out.

I think a good question is how many dead ones do people have. I have a cabinet full of ones that have died over time.

I have 11 Bushnell Bone Collector series cams. They have never failed me. I keep the images on 5 MP and I will get almost a year with a lot of pics taken. If you hunt around you can usually find them for $150. Pretty reasonable for a quality camera.

7 cams, a mix of primos, moultrie, tasco, bushnell, and wildgame innovations. The bushnell is my favorite. Personally I wish I had dozens and dozens of cams, but there is this one small problem called money  :dunno:

For me I have had more Bushnell Trophy cams die than others. I like them, just have more dead ones of them. I get about two years out of them. To be fair, I leave them out year round.

ive been running wildview ir2 (i know CHEAP!!) but 2 for $50 on sale or $50 each is a number i can easily swallow. theyve been really good out of 7 only had on quit working in 4 years. i think it was part to handling and i ran one over on accident. not the greatest quality pics but far from expensive also. they have never not let me know what is in the area and given me a good idea of the animals im looking at. now this year i have bumped up to a cabelas outfitter and a bushnell trophy cam due to reviews and knowing my spots i want better pics.

I currently have zero and would like to run either zero or say 50.   If I ever do get into this hobby, I have at least 50 runways or hollows I would like to monitor.
