Title: Recommendations on a good trail camera!
Post by: h2ofowlr on July 27, 2010, 07:36:14 PM: Looking for the best bang for the buck on trail cameras. Has anyone tried a few out and found a hands down favorite? I have some good areas to place them, so I am going to jump on the boat as I see everyone elses great pics.

now I have two bushnells more features, around $200- not the quality of pics I was expecting ?

I have seen some homebrew pics on this site that are very good.

I have two of these Bushnells and hope to get them out this weekend. I bought security boxes at Cabela's for $35.

Post by: DBZona on July 29, 2010, 08:31:51 AM: I agree with the bushnell, awesome camera! I just put out a Moultrie D40 for the first time over a wallow and am hoping for some good results. The Moultrie is around $100. All the research I did said it is an Excellent camera and if you do not care if it is a flash or IR camera then it might be the way to go.

Post by: haus on July 29, 2010, 09:00:36 AM: read lots of good reviews about the Bushnell Trophy cam.

I'd also recommend the new Primos Truthcam 46. I have a 35, it has a problem with the IR in heavy timber/brush areas, causes a lot of white out photos. From what I've read the 46 doesnt have this issue.

I don't think anything beats the Reconyx cams, but thats also why they're $400. or more.

Post by: fishcrazy on July 29, 2010, 07:42:31 PM: One other great thing about the Bushnel cams. They use AA batteries and last a long time. You can use from 4 - 8 batteries depending on how long you plan on leaving it out.

I almost went broke putting batteries in my 2, D-40 cams. The money I'm saving in batteries alone is worth the extra $$ for the cam.

I have probably 100 pics and a few videos on my cam in about 1 month. It's loaded with 4 AA batteries and they are not showing low yet. And the pics are way better.

Something to think about.
