I voted trail cam because I want to know what kind of animals are in a area.  Don't really want a treestand because I hunt public land and would not want to be putting up a treestand everytime I wanted to hunt out of it.

trail cam because $100 isn't going to get you much of a tree sand and for that matter $100 won't get you much of a trail cam unless it's a homebrew.

A ladder stand is very limiting and typically not high enough.  A portable tree stand is the way to go, therefore the $100 is better off finding you a good spot to set up an ambush via natural ground blind or vantage point, or both.  Also, you should consider a tree sling in addition to a traditional hang-on stand.  Ladder stands are just not worth the hassle IMHO.
