Unless of course you want all that theft deterrent stuff to make your cam more noticable, so a dirtbag can find it and go home for some bolt cutters or a chainsaw

Hang 'em high. I lock box and cable everything, even the cheap cameras. Lock boxes make it easy to pull cards and return to the same position. Add a little spray adhesive and leaves/mosss/bark from around the tree they're going in.

Bushnell Aggressor in red glow or no glow. Red glow version takes better night shots. Really like the hybrid setting that takes 1-3 photos then goes to video. I'm suspicious of an Ebay Aggressor no glow @ $127 with free shipping. However I've had good luck with all the Bushnell models that I've purchased.
Hang 'em high.
Fidnt think i linked a no glow. Anyway i have 6 or 7 aggressors, all red flash, most of them the more expensive camo models. Payed 115 - 130 per. If youre patient and check ebay on the reg you get killer deals. Screw paying 200 bucks for them at a store. As far as the bybrid setting on the aggressors, i think its junk. When you run hybrid theres a significant delay between pics and video

I liked these a lot in the summer and killed 2 during trapping season. They couldn't hold up to the constant wet. Most of the people who like the Wildgame cams are on the east side or don't use them in the west side winter. A friend killed one in a month on this side.The wildgame cams aren't waterproof though are they?If I remember correctly they are the blade 5 or 6.

Thanks for all the reviews and that DIY mount looks easy enough! The trail cam pro website has some good reviews as well. Has anyone had problems with the aggressor getting messed up by the rain on the west side?
Im not on the west side, but weve had our share of snow, single digit temps and rain here since i started testing them out this summer. No weather seal problems.

I believe reply # 126 , 136, and 144 on page 6 of my eyes in the woods thread have aggressor pics. Theyre the ones with the square orange bushnell logo in the bottom left corners. Leaping doe, yotes, turkey, coug etc. The coug night pic gives a good idea as to the high level of illumination you get. And for the record i regularly get animals triggering my cam at more than double the advertised detection range.

Have gotten some of the nicer models and they take great pics and vids but all bricked within one season. One melted from a short and lucky it didn't start a forest fire :) that would give the anti-hunters some ammo.

Thanks for all the suggestions!
Post by: Bango skank on March 20, 2016, 09:52:49 PM
I run a lot of these and have put them on the same tree as a browning strike force and its eye opening to see how much stuff the brownings miss that these get. I just replaced batts in one of these after 13 months, but it was still taking pics. For anybody wanting a new cam but wanting to save a few bucks compared to the aggressors id highly recommend picking up one of these. I still have a few in the package ive been hiarding away, thats how well they work :chuckle:

I have 6 from Wild game innovation, and have had great success. Customer service is outstanding also. I had one literally melt butteries inside and the replace without and hassle.

what wildgame innovations cameras are you guys using? I got a couple of the nano's last year and the picture quality is terrible, it's like if the animal is moving whatsoever it is just a big blurrI have 6 of the lights out models. And 5 of the blade 6's. The picture quality on the lights out are better but they are also more expensive. But I have no issues with the blade's quality

I bought one trail cam earlier, Browning Strike Force HDMP. And I was given as a gift a Moultrie A2 series. Anybody have experience with these trail cams? I'm looking to set them up here in a couple weeks.

How high do you guys hang them?
Do you take a ladder or some other way to get them out of someones reach?
Do they have a flash?
It would seam if it flashed it would stick out like a sore thump.

I bring a ladder. They don't have to be too far up, just out of reach/line of sight. You can't safeguard unattended gear from everyone but most won't screw with it if they have to come back with equipment.
Very few cameras have a white flash. Most have red glow infrared illuminators that are visible to the naked eye. My Bushnell cameras have a dull red glow that is not very noticeable unless you're looking at the camera when it fires. I have a few Primos 02 models that glow bright red. They are easy to pick out when they trigger in low/no light. The Primos cameras are awful while taking still photos at night, the video is usable with a white glow washout the first seconds of the video. Too much IR flash for the camera.

I'm not familiar with the Primos Workhorse but the reaction of that coyote when he looks at the camera is noteworthy!
