Countryboy,

I'm not sure what your answer might be in that price range. The Moultrie D-40 would be a good choice and it's well within that range but it uses D-cell batteries. Really, in order to get great battery life, you almost have to go with an IR camera, but none of those are in that price range except the Remington Ghost and from what I've read about those, you do not want one. Stealthcam or Wildview might have an IR camera in that range. Sorry I can't be more help.

Blessings.....Pastorjim
