Trail cams

[dakids]

I am looking into buying a trail cam.  What brands are best and what brand should I stay away from?  Pros and cons from the people that use them would be very helpful

I would go with a home brew, you can get all the parts on line and they are just as great as the high dollar cams but less then half teh price!

I use Leaf River, I have had the others.....didn't like them for picture quality, ease of use, poor response time....on.....and....on.....and....on..

Problem is, they are in the mid range for prices, I rotate 6 cam's.....so they cost a few bucks.

How much do you want to spend??  And what do you want to photograph and where? Details.

try looking on ebay, thats a decent spot to start i think, i have lots of trail cams, but the ones i use the most are my stealth cams, they work pretty well, but my main problem with the one is that its flash is so powerful that it drains the batterys rather quickly, but the picture quailty aint to bad

I'm looking to photograph deer.  On the food plots, trails to the plots, scrapes, and funel areas. 

I hunt near Remer and was told that the deer are scared by the flash up there.  What is everyones opinion on the flash.

I would really like to stay under 200 but could go as high as 300.

I would go with a home brew, you can get all the parts on line and they are just as great as the high dollar cams but less then half teh price!

Home brew has my attention.  How technical is it and can the average person make a good cam themselves?

You can order everything for a home brew already assembled and just pop in the camera when you get it and its done. The reason i like them so much is if you were out hunting and forgot a camera you can just go take the camera out of the game cam and use that one. Try going to
www.yeticam.com and check out the complete kits.

I ended up buying a Moultrie 4.0 that has infared for 200.00.  I read the feed back on the cabellas website.  For the money if was reviewed the best.  Hopefully I made the right choice.

You picked 1 of the best cams in the woods.  Good luck and lets see some pics

Hopefully I will get a picture of the "Twins".  Last year they were very nice 8's at 2.5 years olds.
I had to work hard to keep the brothers from harvesting them.  Hopefully they can avoid cars and my brothers this fall. I would like to see them put on a few more years.
