Digital game camera recommendations

I am thinking about getting a trail camera and would like to know what to look for and what anyone would recommend. Smokey

I used one very successfully for deer hunting this fall. I would consider such things as:

1. Rating of the IR detector (they're not rated all the same)

2. Memory card - either get a camera with a viewing screen or one with the memory card compatible with your digital camera.

3. Get one with IR flash (animals won't see the flash although my regular flash did not seem to scare them off)

4. Compare the battery life - they usually use D cells and these are expensive and don't last all that long.

5. Get one with sighting capabilites - you want to make sure you are pointing the camera at the right spot or area.

You can do your research by accessing the Bushnell or Moultrie sites and comparing their different models and don't forget e-bay as a possible supply source.

Good luck!

I was at Bass Pro last week with a friend and they had trailcams on, regular $524 for $149. that is in Vaughan Ontario. They said they weren't carying them anymore so they were just trying to get rid of them. Maybe they jacked up the regular price to sell them faster? Couldn't beleive the price. My friend bought one......I didn't.....no good place to put one:(
 
Smoky,

I sell digital game cameras and I build them all by myself. I have been making them for 5 year now. I sell them direct and on ebay. If you want to look at them there here are the links. Let me know if you have any questions. I sold these 2 today and have tons many more...

I have a moultrie game spy 4 MP. I also have the picture viewer which is very handy, see and delete pics and leave the SD card in the camera. It takes some very good pics and some not so good (moving pics), overall very good package for $150 @ Bass Pro Shops (USA).

Call Moultrie, they have great customer service, and will likely just send you two new ones for free.

Good advice.
My Moultrie 4.0 has the laser aim guide.The IR detector is good for 45 feet,and it took over 500 pics before the battery power was down to 35%.I used Energizers and when it got real cold,I changed half of them.
