Title: TASCO 3MP IR MINI GAME CAM
Post by: BowForElk on June 19, 2014, 01:17:12 PM: So I was at walmart the other day and saw the had the mini tasco cams in there. I have the bigger ones that area also $50.00 but I was a little displeased with the fact that they only take 1 picture every 30 seconds. I have since put them in really high traffic areas and my truth cams in less frequented areas but it sucks cause I'm mission out on a lot.

My question is are the minis the same way? Im assuming they have the same set up function as the full size ones (unlike a truth cam you can set how many pics/how often)

Hopefully one of you guys are as cheap as me and don't buy cameras that are more then $50 and have one of these!

I would never be concerned with not being able to go less than 30 seconds. I am cheap too. All of my cameras were less than $80.00. I can't say less than $50 though.

I dunno I guess I don't want to miss out on anything!!That and if I got a camera in a new area and theres a herd coming down the trail I can get a better idea of how many animals were dealing with. I had the other Tasco cams out and I wasn't please with that half a butt picture. I know I can change the camera angle but with the slower trigger speed and all I was hoping that they may have changed it so you can program it for fewer frequencies.

I was just cruising through wally word and saw the minis and liked them especially at the price of the big ones. I guess we'll keep buying Refurb 35's!!!

All of my Bushnell's are demo models at a sweet discount.
