trail cam reviews??

[muleywannabe]

I am need of a great trail camera that actually takes pictures. I have tried wildgame, moutrie, bushnell...etc. All of them work pretty decent but its very frustrating when they miss crucial pictures. The batteries never last...Im tired of it. time to spend some cash...any suggestions would be great...dont want to spend 500 bucks on a reconyx though. thats nuts

That's why I build my own, take way better pics and don't miss. Not blurry etc.

It costs 200-230 bucks though.

I feel your frustration mulewannabe.

I have used trail cams for years. The best cams I have ever owned are the old Cam Trakker brand 35mm. Always worked and took great pics. I have piles of them to prove it. They make digital ones now but cost a lot.
I have had pretty good luck with Cuddieback and the little Bushnell now. I left my Bushnell out all year last year on the same 8 2AA batteries!

I am thinking of investing in another Cam Trakker. I have never built my own. Might be a great idea. It obviously works well for Brett!

I don't know if you have tried the Moultrie M80, but I just bought one two weeks ago and deployed it for a week. I set it on video mode and they claim the AA batteries will last a year. Even if they last three months it's better than the older D40 Moultries running D cells and last about a month. I got mine at the bargain cave in Cabela's for $105, and I'm very impressed with it so far.

i have a great review site for you to check out. it has great information and lets you decide for yourself which camera is best for your needs. after looking at it and comparing cameras in by price range i found that the stealth cam 8 hd was best for my needs. what is great about this site is you can decide for your self which camera best fits your needs.
