I've not used a trail cam ever. But found this Mounltrie model at Cabelas for $99.00!
4.0-mega-pixel digital camera but has regular flash and not IR (I assume that means infra-red).
It's the Moultrie Game Spy 4.0 Megapixel Digital Camera.
Am I OK with a $99.00 trail cam? I know, "you get what you pay for", but it seems to have very good customer ratings.
How important is IR? Just for night time pics. Is i6t a flash that the animal doesn't see and is not spooked by it?
Doesn't the regular flash work just as well?
And suggestions on camera placement, maintenance, securing it to a tree?
