Title: need some opinions
Post by: stigalla on February 10, 2015, 06:34:24 PM: im doing a complete overhaul or my hunting property to get ready for this season. One of the top priorities is adding about ten new trail cams to the couple I have now. im looking for a good quality cam that wont bankrupt me because of how many im going to be buying. any recommendations?

Exactly what I was thinking

eBay is where I buy a lot of mine.

My favorite two cams are the bushnell trophy cam and the browning recon force. You can find em' for around 100$ or so.

I'm gonna pick up a Stealth Cam STC-P12 and see how it tests out. For about 50$ on eBay it's worth a shot. Here's a review on that cam and other cheaper priced cameras: http://www.cheaptrailcameras.com (http://www.cheaptrailcameras.com)

My favs are wildgame innovations hands down...not 1 has given me a problem or multiple buddys around 50 cams total...cant say that for my bushnell thats in the garbage. Primos, tasco and moultrie all having issues in cold weather triggering on deer.

Post by: huntnnw on February 10, 2015, 10:15:11 PM: I own 4 different models and all work great...I just pulled 2 cams lat week that had been out since Nov and still had 3/4 battery life and triggering just fine. My fav is the lightsout model. The wide angle pic should be the only option on all cams it captures alot of area.

Here's one to look at: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Wildgame-Innovations-T6B1-Scouting-Camera-Blade-6-x-Lightsout/37310125?action=product_interest&action_type=title&placement_id=irs_top&strategy=PWVUB&visitor_id=Og-Oim5LlJhhjq6VS6MTn8&category=&client_guid=9970af65-b0b2-44d4-8e24-034b09aac137&customer_id_enc=&config_id=2&parent_item_id=34954732&parent_anchor_item_id&guid=239afdc8-8383-4c38-b4b6-641cd683da09&bucket_id=irsbucketdefault&beacon_version=1.0.0&findingMethod=p13n (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Wildgame-Innovations-T6B1-Scouting-Camera-Blade-6-x-Lightsout/37310125?action=product_interest&action_type=title&placement_id=irs_top&strategy=PWVUB&visitor_id=Og-Oim5LlJhhjq6VS6MTn8&category=&client_guid=9970af65-b0b2-44d4-8e24-034b09aac137&customer_id_enc=&config_id=2&parent_item_id=34954732&parent_anchor_item_id&guid=239afdc8-8383-4c38-b4b6-641cd683da09&bucket_id=irsbucketdefault&beacon_version=1.0.0&findingMethod=p13n)

I don't have that camera but that's a good price and with the extended two year warranty I don't think you could go wrong.

Post by: mfswallace on February 11, 2015, 08:52:28 PM: Wildgames for me have never had a problem. Bushnell and moultries have had a few different issues...
Title: Re: need some opinions
Post by: stigalla on February 11, 2015, 10:04:23 PM: I have a couple moultries now. I like them but the trigger is a bit slow on the draw. I get good feed pix but ifits in passing I get nose or tail
