Nice ones of the bucks fighting.  I noticed you have (had  :(  ) at least two different kinds of cameras, what is your favorite?  I was not real impressed with our new Moultrie this season. 

I mean Stealth Cam.

Cameras I have (had)


Bushnell: never worked, even right out of the box.

Stealth cam: Worked great for 6 months then quit

Moultrie A5: works good after 1 year, low quality pics, long battery life, sensitive motion sensor, lots of blanks

Moultrie A5" worked good for about 2 years, low quality pics, long battery life, sensitive motion sensor (Stolen)

Moultrie A7, Works great, I cant view the pictures in the field on my digital camera (only complaint)

CuddeBack Attack Black Flash: Works Good after 3 years, High quality pics, and good battery life, the motion sensor is not sensitive enough. I get almost no blanks but I kind of feel like I might be missing some critters. 


The Cuddeback is perfect if I use it in a close quarters area like on a trail in the brush, but they cost $200 ish. Maybe the new Long range ones are the ultimate trail camera?    The A5's have great range and battery life but low quality pics, and lots of blanks, However sorting through all the blanks isn't that bad when I am sure I am not missing any critters,  and they can be ordered for about $50 bucks.  All things considered:  I don't think I will be buying anything but the Moultrie A5's in the near future. I can stick them in a clear cut for a few months and not lose sleep at night.

Thx.  Seems like lots of blanks would indicate missed animals though.   :dunno: 

I would rather have a camera with a fast shutterspeed than massive resolution.  I wonder which one makes the camera more expensive?

Most of my blanks are caused by grass or bushes moving in the wind.  Cuddieback doesn't seem to have an issue with that.   But when I walk by 30 feet away it doesn't take my picture.    I guess it all really comes down to proper placement of the camera.   And proper placement varies between brands of cameras

Thirty feet is too far for the sensor on my Stealth Cam. It also seems to have a slow shutter speed. Sorry for the thread jack.  You do have a lot of decent pics though.
