Trail Camera Recommendations

[Grizzly_A]

I'm interested in purchasing several trailcams. What do you use, how do you like it, and are there any features that you still want or could do without?

If you haven't used one, please tell me before you start your recommendation.

I personally haven't tried any but a friend of mine has a few cuddebacks and he loves them. if I where going to get one I would go with those.

we sell 3 styles and will be getting in Primos this summer. Most of our customers tell me that they want a $100-$125 camera so they can buy more than one. When they get stolen or broken by bears then you are not out a bunch of money. If you are placing them on property where they could get stolen, I would stay away from flash cameras.

Good topic, Grizzly. How would we create a trigger switch for our regular cameras? Any ideas?

Thank you. You could look online at the various sites that specialize in them.

Now I'll return back to the original topic.

The intended area is on private land. Turns out that after doing some field work there are elk in the area (it's been 15 years since anyone has seen elk in this particular area) and we were wanting to set up some trail cameras to see if we can get a peek at any game that are coming through the area.

At this point I'd say that theft is not one of the top factors in selection because with a knife or pliers just about any trailcam can be compromised.

I'm more interested in features and ease of programming, retrieval, etc. What things are easy, complicated, and so forth.

I really like my Bushnell 5.0 that is currently on sale for $130 at natchez

the picture under my name was taken with a Bushnell flash camera. The night pics are not the best unless they are pretty close. The not flash models, can go out 40-75ft or so. The more LED's, the further the range. Our $100 camera has simple switches on it. The $129 model has a menu that you have to change.

is that a bull elk nose to nose with your camera? I have been staring at it for a while trying to figure it out

That is a branch bull that heard the first picture and came up for pic number 2.

That's what I like to do in the woods too. Find a good tree and scratch my backside.

So the cuddebacks and the bushnell. I guess there aren't a lot of guys using them?
