Follow up: I Bought the Stealth cam at Costco and it seems to work just fine. Just this morning I checked it and have great pictures and video of a buck, three does, a rabbit and a raccoon under our apple tree. All taken at night. So for the money I’m satisfied.
It would be awesome to see some night photos to see if they have improved over the years. Maybe a guy needs to be open minded and give them a second chance.
