Title: Help on finding a trail cam
Post by: FishHuntFight on September 02, 2013, 11:35:38 PM: Been looking for a trail cam, was wondering if any of you had a preferred cam you'd recommend buying

Amazing Battery life, extremely easy to program, and the strap that comes with it has the capability to go around huge trees. Just write some creepy death threat on the back to scare would-be thieves and you're good to go! :tup:

I have a 46 and it has about the fastest trigger of any of the cams I own. I definitely don't need it set up over bait.

But the issue I do have with it is every other set of pictures is too dark. Unless I have it set up in an open area where there's lots of light.

My Primos 35, however, does not have this issue. I would recommend the 35, the only downfall is battery life isn't as good as some other cameras. But it's not terrible either.

For the price I'm not sure you can beat the Truth Cam 35. I only paid $60 for mine.
