RE: digital trail cameras?
Had three Cuddebacks - they all went back, couldn't get any of them to work correctly.
Currently use 4 moultries - trigger speed is slow, but we can put in a 6 volt rechargeable battery, hook it to a solar charger and have about an unlimited run time with proper sunlight. Great over bait piles though.
Also use a Wildview 4.0 - this is the easiest camera to set up I have seen. Takes okay pictures, not great, but has a good trigger speed. Only problem is if you choose the 12 volt rechargeable battery system it can at another $35 to the cost of the camera. If the Wildview 4.0 took a better picture I'd be tempted to buy one of the Wildview 2.0 2 packs that are at BassPro and Cabelas for $98.
All these cameras use an SD memory card so I can just take my home digital camera with me, and view the images in the field if I want. SD cards are also cheap so I normally just pull the card and put in a new one, taking the old one back to the cabin to view on my laptop. 6 volt rechargeable batteries are also cheap so we have two of those for each of the moultries, on charged on one in the camera.
