Title: Trail cam deals?
Post by: steeleywhopper on December 05, 2014, 08:55:20 PM: Wondering if anyone knows of any good deals out there on cams right now? Looking for something that takes AA batteries.

If your lucky you might be able to find a place online that still has some cyber week deals going on. :twocents:

I see this Primos camera has poor reviews for 2013 and earlier models but it has great reviews for 2014 - http://www.trailcampro.com/primostruthcamultra46hdreview.aspx (http://www.trailcampro.com/primostruthcamultra46hdreview.aspx)

I think I'm going that direction. Also thinking of picking up one of those refurbished Moultrie cams bobcat posted. :twocents: Let us know what you end up with and how it performs.

Post by: Band on December 07, 2014, 09:57:00 AM: I'm considering the Strike Force as well, but have not seen a good deal on it lately. I can find it for about $130 but I'd like to see it around $100. I'm funny that way. ;)

Post by: 3nails on December 07, 2014, 10:11:03 AM: That's about the price I'm finding as well. Let me know if you find it cheaper!

Post by: Wolfdog2314 on December 07, 2014, 02:18:36 PM: I've had real good luck with my Browning Recon Force cams. Got them off eBay last year for 70-80$ a piece. Haven't seen them that low again though.

Post by: MerriamMagician on December 07, 2014, 09:06:26 PM: I ordered 2 Browning Range Ops cams myself over the weekend. I'll see how they do. Meanwhile my personal favorites are bushnells. They are small, use double A batteries, great pictures, and can find good deals on them pretty regularly.

Yo 3-Nails, I put the Primos Truth 46 on my x-mas list and I know for a fact I have one sitting under the tree. Then I saw the Browning Strike Force on sale for $99 at Sportsman's Warehouse (on sale thru x-mas eve, by the way) so I bought one of those today. I'm most excited about the Browning since it gets rave reviews. :IBCOOL:

Post by: 3nails on December 20, 2014, 09:24:50 PM: I recently picked one up for $139. I think I may have to get another for the $99 deal! Thanks for posting that Band.

Post by: Band on December 21, 2014, 07:33:39 AM: My pleasure. I'm hoping you can use yours to get more pics of those big blackies you and your family seem to harvest all the time. :hello:

I didn't mention it before, but I think the Strikeforce is the smallest camera on the market. Love how compact that thing is! :tup:

Post by: MerriamMagician on December 23, 2014, 10:49:47 PM: Natchez shooting supply has some cams on sale right now for as low as 39.99. They are refurbished models, but I bought two myself over a year and a half a go and they have had no issues at all and take great pics.
