I lost a couple to bears this spring and want to add a couple locations. Any suggestions on reasonable priced cams. I am looking to get 4-6 more. Thanks.

I’ve had nothing but great luck with the browning strike force cams. 7 strike force pros and 2 strike force something else(possibly strike force pro x)All between 3-7 years of 90% video mode use and still going strong. Lithium ion batteries and they’ll record video all winter long without issue. One year i had left a few out in the colockum for the winter and snow built up to almost level with the cam and got a couple videos of a snow bike and sled ripping right by it :chuckle:

I have a couple primos cams out I forgot the model but very reasonable price and they are very easy to use.
Great pics and videos

If your worried about bears and theft I use cheap ones most of mine are Tasco cost about 20$ ( or used too) and nice SD CARD and never worried in last ten years out of the 25 or so I run I have lost 1 too left and 2 to bears but after cam
, battery , and sd card it was about a $40 loss. I’d love to try some cells cams but I like the soaking period and going out to physically check them . I know my father in law got some off Amazon for fairly cheap and has had same experience

Get on campfire and buy some refurbished stealthcams. I have been running them for years with no problems at all. I think I had my first 1 go bad on me last year after 7 or 8 years and I don't know if it was a refurbished one or a new one. And as for bears getting your cams, check out camlockboxes. They are great and the make them for specific cams. So whenever I am looking at cams I go to their website to see if they make a look box for the cams I am looking at. If they do I buy the cams and then the lock box.

Trailcam Tuesdays on Camofire +1 :tup:

Only cams I spend money on these days are cell cams, if it’s not a cell cam I’m buying cheap cams. I have 6 of the wildview cams now and some are 3 years old now. Couple are left out year round and burried under snow and continue to keep working. Been impressed with them so far

I concur...
Wild view cams have worked well for me.
I got one that is three years old, another I got this year.
Work very well for cheap cam.

No cell service!!! I’ll look into these! Thanks guys!

I have used the Muddy, Stealth cam and Wildview
All made by the same people and reasonably priced
Places like Midway and Camofire run sales for 3 and 4 packs all the time

I have had good luck with the Tactacam

:yeah: If your gonna buy standard trail cams by them cheap. Now days the $40 cams will do more then a good enough job. I have had great luck with the wildgame innovations cheap one. Forget the model but they are about $45. You can find them for cheaper on camofire at times. Had 5 running last whitetail season through freezing temps, snow, crazy wind and they held tough.
