If I had $450 to spend on a new trail camera, I'd forget about the one's on the market and build two of three of my own. From what I've been reading on them and the photos I've seen from the homemade one's, that's the way to go They say their pretty simple to build and all you really need is a little time on your hands.

You can build a digital trail cameraforabout $150, depending on how much you spend on acamera. Check out, real deal hunting chat to find the forum about building one.
