$33 trail Cams!?!
« on: July 01, 2016, 12:16:26 PM »
I stopped in the Yakima Dick's Sportings Goods store Wednesday to look over their trailcam pricing.

I've decided to go cheap in order to get more eyes in the woods (plus my Walmart Tascos outlasted my $200 Bushnell.
Found some Primos cams for about 50% off for under $50. When I checked out they were further discounted 25% for a holiday sale.

Two cams for ~$66!

Pics only, no video, 5mgp. I think IR.

I have 2 of them but haven't been able to check the pics yet. Good for areas with more human traffic around.

I love cheap trail cams! I've had good luck with them, many different brands. Tasco, Primos, Wildgame Innovations, Moultrie.

There are definitely some cheap cams that aren't worth owning for any price, but you really don't know until you try them out.

So which Primos camera are they? I have a couple of the 46 Ultra and they have been great.

I bet it is one of the new proof cams that primos just came out with.

I bought two and have them hung.  They're pretty basic.  No frills.  Not the longest trigger range. But they should serve they're purpose- to see what's checking out the water hole or mineral lick.  Plus if they grow legs I'm not going to have homicidal thoughts.

Just got back from a scouting trip. I'll check the packaging and let you know the model.
