RE: trail cameras
If you dont want to spend over $150, I would suggest the stealth camera I540IR. It gets great battery life. It takes 8 C batteries and it lasted me all season plus more with taking at average 350 pictures a week during the season. You can see some of the pictures from it in some of my threads. If you dont want to even spend over $100 I would suggest the moultrie D40. Its not he best camera ever but for how low of price you can get it then it is excellent.
