Title: Need Some Help
Post by: warchickenchaser on May 20, 2011, 12:35:20 PM
I am looking to buy a trail camera or two, and I know that opinions vary alot on brand, model, etc. I figure it want hurt to get a few recommendations on what is the best for the money.  I have read chasinggame.com till im blue in the face, and just cant decide.

 I have 3 of the small Bushnell cams and like them.  They take good pictures and can fit in your pocket

I don't know much about trail cams, but I have also heard that the Bushnell cams are really good for what they cost.

Haven't tried the Bushnell so I can't comment on them but we have used Moultrie, Cuddeback and the latest we tried was Spypoint. The Spypoint blows the others away in my opinion...better price, easier to use, long battery life and GREAT pics.
See for yourself, here's 3 pics taken with the IR-6 one of the cheaper Spypoint cams...about $100 cheaper than a Cuddeback with the same features

Thanks for the help and those are some awesome pictures...hows the battery life on the spypoint? I saw the Bushnells and Truth Cams and they take fairly good pictures, yet the truthcam will scare the fool out of a deer.  In three round burst mode they will be feeding, looking, then running!

Been looking for one myself and think I'll check out the spypoint and see where its made, trying to stay with something made in the USA.

We're well over 1000 pics on one set of 6 AA batteries
