I was going to do it all over again. I would buy cheap ones (50 buck ones) and have 4 for the price of one and cover a lot more spots/land to find deer. Not only that, if you get one stolen, your out on fifty not $200... JMO.

The Cuddeback Capture (flash version) takes some great pics. 199.99 http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/trai...ture-pics.html

It depends on what you want out of it. If your only purpose is to scout, then as has been suggested, go with several cheaper cameras to cover more area. If your purpose is to take better photos, I would go with the Cuddeback Capture Flash, Bushnell Trophycam, Scoutguard, or Moultrie I-40. Whatever you decide, enjoy. By the way, welcome to the forums, hope you enjoy.

go to trailcampro.com, they have good deals, they are knowledgeable, and they have a good warranty.

For flash, Cuddeback Capture $199......IR, Spypoint IR-A also $199.
I have both and can say that the Spypoint is hard to beat for IR.
