Good Trail Camera out there to buy? or help with mine.

Here are a few from the Truth Cam 46 and the Bushnell Trophy cam. Honestly, I like the battery life and trigger speed of the Bushnell, but the Primos takes better pics at night. I will sacrifice the pic quality for longer battery life though. The Bushnell also takes quality video clips.

Also, it was mentioned that spending money on cameras that crapped out on you was a waste. In my experience, if you save the box and receipt, most places are willing to accept a return and swap you out for a new cam. I had one that was almost 2 years old and they took it back no questions asked. YMMV

Truth Cam 46.......

Bushnell Trophy Cam......

I have the wildgame cameras and I'm lucky if I can get 2 weeks of battery life out of them. Going to be buying the truth 35 this fall.

Ya WG cams suck for battery life
I have two IR4s and two weeks is it!!! I spent more in batteries in a season then what it cost to buy good cams. I have them away lol
Never buy a came that uses C batteries, they all suck. Ds are good and AA seem to work the best.

Stealth Cam C batteries last over a month, taking a thousand pics or so.

The D battery unit will last most of a season.

+1 on the Primos cams from Natchez. We've got 5 of them. 3 of the 35s and 2 46s. Honestly I can't tell a whole lot of difference in picture quality between the 2. I plan on buying a couple more of the refurbished 35.

Reconyx with AA lithium's will last 6 months taking 1000 pics per week.

As will the DLC Coverts, $200ish. I'm not sure that they still make the model that I've got though.

Truth cam was given to me as a gift, used 4 D's, battery life was ok, pics were good.

I went through a couple of Stealth Cams. Got the rechargable battery and all. When camera worked, it took great pictures, but after about 1 season, they started not taking pictures. The last one just completely died.
I'm hoping the SpyPoint lasts longer, it gets good reviews, and seems to be built better. It is also silent.

I watched an 8 point buck wander in front of my Stealth Cam a couple of years ago. When it took his picture he jumped like he saw a rattlesnake. He didn't run off, but he sure knew something was there.

My Moultrie M80 would last 6 months to a year on AAs taking around 1000 a week
It's only $120....
Might not night take HD video and color night pics but it gets the job done with quality pics.
To bad someone decided they needed it more than me, couldnt imagine how I'd feel about that happening with a $5-600 cam!!!!
