Title: Sub $100 Trail Cams
Post by: ctwiggs1 on March 24, 2018, 06:46:04 AM: Looking to update my trail cam inventory before July. Any recommendations? I’m not looking to have photos good enough for frames, but I don’t want to miss out on pictures because of slow trigger time.

Looking to buy 4 most likely.

Thanks in advance!

Hopefully here in the next month or so i'll have a thread posted with pictures from a bushnell, stealth cam, and this new bresser.

The bushnell had a leak at one point that fried the screen so I can’t adjust the settings, the Stealth cam is my favorite since it’s so small and basic, the bresser is not my favorite but I still recommend it for finding animals in an area. Overall I’d say buy the stealth cam for simplicity but the Bushnell is a long lasting solid machine

Thanks. I have all wildgame innovations cameras and am happy with them. Was wondering mainly about the bresser but with out a time and date stamp it would be no use.

Post by: KFhunter on May 31, 2018, 04:25:56 PM: I recently bought 4 stealthcams, they're easy to use just turn the dial to preset #1 and it's a 3 pic burst with 30 second delay between each 3 pic burst - perfect!
