I plan on doing this from here on out but plans are always capable of changing lol So It's just whatever you want to do. MOST cameras can handle being out all year round through all weather and I know a lot of guys that do just that but I personally like to bring mine in and save the batteries a little.
I agree the cold zaps the battery life, as soon as it got cold i would be replacing batteries. I got a new Primos truth cam 35 last year and told the boys to bring it in around the 1st of Jan. Anyway I saw it still on the tree today and it still has 40% battery!!?? None of my old trail cam batteries would last half that long. I was pleasantly surprised.
