I am planning on getting a couple more trail cameras. What cameras do you guys like the best for say under $400.00?

I like the double pack of wildview from Cabellas for $100.. Something tells me you'll need a little better clarity than i need for the black tails I've been seeing...  ;)  I've been kinda  low buck guy just need to tell what kind of animal... not the diff between 2 kinds of dawgs...

I was just looking at the new Bushnell 8.0 at Cabela's today. I liked the 5.0 and imagine this one is better. Was under $300 too.

I've used the 5.0 a little, but with that little amount it was enough to impress. Good picture quality. Don't know what improvements Bushnell made with the 8.0, other than the 3mp difference, but would think they'd make it better in other areas too. Oh, did notice the battery life is up to full year now.

I went to the Bushnell Trophy cams. I can't begin to say how much better I like them than the Moultrie cams. Battery life alone makes them cheaper than a cheap cam. You will spend it on batteries or the cam. You can find the 8mp for around $180.00 with shipping if you look around. I made some really cool security boxes for them that I also sell for $40.00 and you don't need an expensive python lock to cable them to the trees and they are easy to aim the cam with. :IBCOOL:

I put an inexpensive moultrie (under $100) out in a "bear" area because i didn't wan't my more expensive bushnell with the IR flash getting ate up...the moultrie has performed great and the flash doesn't seem to bother the bears at all.  They've "inspected" the camera and swatted it around but haven't ate it yet.  I would buy several inexpensive models to cover more area than just buy a couple "advanced" models to just see one or two spots.  Just my  :twocents:

 :yeah:   I would...... get 4 or 6 to spread it out all around.  Hope you get good Pics.....  I remember few years ago We use those stuff GREAT STUFF!!! Battery hold good BELOW 0 Winter for almost 3 months no problem still working!    Make sure you build a Roof to keep snow off the TrailCamera and Elevation good Target from 45 degree! Not Flat laszer . because Snow raise different every day.  Lots Practices by mistakes and your time.  but WAY FUN!
Walking thur Snow making other people suspecious and more curiously.....  Try to be Smarter!  :twocents:  Also maybe leave it for while till Snow surface became ICY and be able to walk on top of snow to exchange Card.
