Trail Cams

fast-pirogue · 07-10-2007, 11:43 AM

Getting close to making a purchase but still need a little advice from you guys (or gals) who have been using the various brands of trail cams. From what I've read it appears that if you want to jump right to a $400 plus unit you would more than likely be happy with how they function and the results. When I start reading reviews on lessor costs units I see everything from "I love it to its a pile of c**p" don't waste your money".

I'm looking for opinions on the brand you use and why you like it, also brands you might have tried and wish you wouldn't have.

Thanks

Honestly, I am very happy with my Wildview. Of course I see the cuddeback pics, and I get my fair share of black pics or blank pics(usually 2,3 per 50 pic sequence), and I wouldn't mind owning one or more of the more expensive ones. But I'm really happy with it, and it was only $70. (that and I got a 10 rebate and used $20 worth of points). I'll be getting 3 more of these cameras before the months end. Roughly $240 and I get 4 cams.

I am looking at buying a stealth cam. From what I read on the reveiws they are good, all the replys to it were positive, and for about $150 bucks that isnt too bad.

I saw that Cabelas has the 4.0 for $139, is that the one your talking about? There are 3 reviews but all seem pretty positive. Anyone use one of these?

Yep, thats the one I'm talking about.
