yah i thought it was a good deal got mine for with a 25%off sale at swains....even if its not the best it should still take some pictures...i heard the typical battery life is about 2 weeks-month depending on activity in the area....
havent had a chance to get out much lately to put mine out, but as soon as my back is better im gonna see what i can find also....should be cool....Congrats on the camera....let me know what you think of the camera, and ill do the same.

I read some reviews online which has me a bit nervous...they were not good. But oh well I guess. Perhaps they got a bad one, or didnt set it up right etc.
It is the same model you are talking about.

usually when your in a new area messing around it scares the animals for a day or two...then theyll act wierd after that for a while...then once you have come a few times into the area to check the camera i have seen that the animals just think of yah as a visitor....kind of a no harm no faul type thing....if that makes sence....give it atleast a week.....
Did you put any attractant or bait in the area to stop the animals as they come by the camera? salt blocks, food? anything?
not everyone agrees to putting anything down, but sometimes a bunch of cut up apples or pone of the above can work....i like to take a gallon ziplock of rolled cob and pour it out about 10-15 feet infront of the camera. sometimes ill use a saltblock also.....depends on the area....
keep us uptodate and what pictures you get....! :IBCOOL:

Looks like you might have gotten a pretty good deal, I was in Saturday and it looked like they were still up there in price ( 299 ) and only 20% off , then I saw the same cam at Sportco for $119 so at minimum you at least saved 20 bucks. And Like coasthuntr said any pics yet?
Sorry I missed this Jbar. No pics, but I took it down last week...I set it up too high I think, plus I didnt see any fresh tracks.
I am waiting to find a nice spot to put it back up...should have it up again this week sometime. I will update as soon as I get something worth talking about. :'(
