I just bought my 2nd Moultrie Game Spy I 4.0 for $200 and they've been working great. I just checked my first one (for the 2nd time) this weekend that I put out 6 weeks ago and it still has 80% battery life. I only get up about every 3 weeks so battery life is important - and that's in triple digit temps. Pic quality is good enough for me at 4 mp, color during the day, b/w IR at night.

AND????

...and unfortunately not much - 1 doe, a bunch of quail and varmints. Its a desert area with a small herd - supposedly good bucks though if I can find them. After 6 weeks I pulled it and will be moving both to a new spot this Sunday. Here's a couple pics...

So I moved my camera and set up a second one in a new spot, over water and minerals. There's a small den with a lot of scat (kind of big scat) with 3-4 trails coming into the wash. There's now 4 confirmed lions living in the area so maybe I'll get them on camera. Not too sure how good a spot it will be for deer though if lions, or even coyotes live there - any ideas? Won't be able to check for pics for another week, but will post if anything shows up.

Deer should be there if there is lions, look forward to the pics.

Well, I checked my second spot for the second time and 0 deer, a few pigs and this lion. Time to accept that this is not the spot to be and move on...

Hey Moultrie cams are great and the batteries do die but I found a battery that will last it is a compact 6v that they use in exit signs in buildings. it will hold a charge for a month without any help but with a solar panel Who knows how long and it is also a dry cell so the cold should not affect it as much. I found mine at a battery exchange shop. oh it also has a year warranty.
