I have finally talked my wife in to letting me buy some trail cams i am looking to stay some were around at most $250 any suggestions would be great. I had a friend that bought a stealth cam and it cost him some were around 350 and it was always behind the deer Ive figured out infrared is much better then motion activated.

Whats every one else think.

I build my own, using an Olympus D-360 L camer or Sony a couple of different Sony cameras. It's cheaper and they work GREAT. Takes some time to build, but it's fun.

I bought a 3.0 MP Stealth Cam Digital Scouting Camera.
I have been very impressed with it. I had troubles with my first camera and native outdoors was more than willing to work with me. They sent a new one with no questions. They are very helpfull.
I will send you pictures if you would like.
The last couple weeks I have been getting 300 pictures a night of elk.
Very clear pictures. Good flash range.
The only thing I suggest is to buy a 6 volt rechargeable battery. They last for 2 weeks. If you were to buy d batterys for the camera it will eat them up in a couple nights. Would get very expensive.
Camera- $180.00
Battery- $7.00

I just bought a Moultree 4.0. I got 74 pictures in 1 night and I could bearly make out the elk. Not impressed so far.

I will download pictures tonight so you can compare.

MM,

That would be a great post a pic by pic of you putting together a trail cam.

MuleyMadness- How's about you donate a game camera to the weekly prize one week. Not that its not good enough, but then Ill have a chance at getting one this year before season starts.

all ways wont to get one

those are some cool pics!

MM, how do you build your own? What do you use for the housing and more importantly how do you control the power, activation and so forth...?

Antlersoutwest, those are some great pictures. I was just curious how accurate you felt the camera was/is. In other words, have you found that it was missing events.

One of the camera's I have takes great pictures but I know it missed events from testing it. I have set it up in my yard and walked past it and it would trigger about 50% of the time. Has your experience been different with the stealth cam?
