Suggestions for purchasing a new trail cam
« on: June 21, 2019, 08:07:37 AM »
Trial cam of 7 years just went out. I am in the market for a new one. The location does not have cell service so the option for a trail cam that sends the photos remotely is out. I would to spend $100 - $250.

Thanks in advance.

Count me in here.  However, I'll narrow it.  I don't care about video or cell. I just want a machine that isn't going to take pictures of every blade of grass that moves, but does take them quickly/clean not shooting the ass of a critter that moved 20 feet across the view of the machine.  Sounds simple enough.

If you aren't in a hurry i wouldjust keep my eye on camofire cause they usually have other stealth cams for cheaper. The ones i use were around 35 a piece. If you are in a hurry get the 2 pack on camofire right now

I run Moultrie and cuddyback with great success.  I have used and really like Bushnell trophy cAms as well......they are just more expensive.  I pay 60-120 per camera.  Spypoint cams are horrible.

I'm biased....i won't use anything but bushnell. They work and more importantly to me the customer svc I've received is top notch.
