This one. A lot of people like brownings but i have 13 of them, spec ops, strike force, range ops, dark ops, and after having used them for some time i dont trust them like the bushnells. They miss things.

Getting back to basics trailcams that come in 3 color patterns with audio priced around $110 and slightly higher. Primos has a $30 rebate on them for a limited time. You can see some video samples on youtube. The plain green camera is the cheapest and you can get it for about $50 after rebate.

Last year I bought 2 and was really surprised at how well the worked and how many awesome pictures I got. Next year I will have a dozen of the same $50 cams.

Learned the hard way to lock it even (especially) on private property. I have pictures of a trespassing bowhunter this year, it took thirty seconds to go for the camera.
