Sort of like optics, you just about get what you pay for. We bought a bunch of those cheap Stealth and Moultrie cameras and they aren't that great. You get a few good pictures and a bunch of bad ones.

The pictures I have seen here on the forum taken with the LeafRiver Trail Cam, have made me think of buying one!

My friend has one on the cheap moultrie's and he got it at walmart for 100 bucks, im just not sure that when its sold a walmart it has the moultrie name on it. Anyways like timbercruiser said he too gets about half blank/bad pics but the other half a always real nice and clear. The bad halfI would say is about 90% empty so maybe the wind or bird trips it and then 10% is butt shots of deer from it being to slow. But I am in your situation to and cannot spend alot of money on a cam and I don't care if i have alot of blank pics cause that is what the delete key is for. So when I get the money I plan on buying a Moultrie's.

I don't think the good digitals are priced that low. If they were I would have 2 and toss my 2 35mm Stealth cameras. I tried one for $88, but the flash range was only 15 feet. The deer on my lease are very nocturnal, so all I got were pix of eyes. The camers was setup 2 feet from a mineral licks, but it would trigger before they got very close.

If you find one for under $200, I'd be interested.

I may just bite the bullet and buy the Moultrie night vision camera. It uses IR flash that is not visible. It will not spook the deer al all, no sound , no (visible) flash. It's about $275.

I would go digital, upgrade the memory card, and Gander Mountain had some good prices before Christmas..........

Save your money & get a Cuddeback. I have 2 Leaf Rivers. Their triggers are slow. If you want an IR cam get a Recon Talon. I have 2 of them. There is a website www.chasingame.com I think that can answer any of your questions.

i am shooting for a cuddeback but i am looking for an aulterniative
plus i cant find trails so i dont really know where to put it so its basically useless
so i dunno if i am going to get 1
