Title: Bushnell 5.0 Trophy Cam
Post by: DBake on October 24, 2009, 10:26:53 PM: Went to pick up two Moultrie D40's but almost walked out with 1 Bushenll 5.0 Trophy Cam. The size and weight was shocking in comparison to everything eles is amazing. It was just hard to walk out with just one cam instead of two cams.

My only complaint (if you can call it that!) is the motion sensor is almost to good!! If there is a blade of grass 15 feet in front of the camera and it's blowing in the wind... You'll have 400 pictures of it. BUT.. it does a great job catching deer movement also.

Not sure if the newer D40's are exactly the same as the ones a few years ago?? But I don't like the 1 second delay on the photo trigger. I always have my cameras set on 3-shot burst and have gotten lots of pictures of an ass going out of the screen and then 2 more shots of nothing because the deer was trotting or running.. :twocents:

Either way.. Glad you got some cams and lets see some pics!!

D batteries in the ones I bought last year. My cousin has the older style with the alligator clips, both work fine. The older one has less options :twocents: Mark

Post by: MuleySniper on October 27, 2009, 01:33:04 PM: Thanks! My dad has an older TC, I cant remember what type but I think it is a Moultrie. It has the older battery design and we could never get it to work very well. Looking to upgrade. Im liking those new bushnells but never hurts to hear other peoples experiences with others. Sorry about the :jacked:
