Game Cameras?
How good do these things work ? I want to get one but don' t know too much about them. I was looking at the " DeerCam" , would this be a good one to get? Can someone help me out with some tips on what to get and what not to get.
THANKS !

RE: Game Cameras?
I got a NON TYPICAL DC100 and a STEALTH CAM. I like them both.
The DC100 is more expensive $270 vs $79 but I like the dc100 better. The two 9v
batteries in the dc100 outlast the stealth cam by up to 4x. I seem to get better pics with the 100 also. Extremly easy to setup also. Remember, you generally get what you pay for. As far as what to look for: Ease of setup, battery life, camera brand used. Most of the cheaper models use lower quality cameras and cheaper electronics and ive heard very mixed reviews on these. Check out JESSIES HUNTING PAGE. It gives a good review of several trail cam brands. Also do a search on this hunting site as this question has come up alot in the past few monthes.

Deer Cam. With electronics you have to shell out the cash if you want a good product. I spent almost $300 for mine and I haven' t regretted it yet. I want another one but wife won' t let me. No matter how much I beg.

RE: Game Cameras?
Nice pictures, I have a Non-typical dc-10 and a Trailtimer Photohunter. I like the Photohunter much better and its 20 to 40 bucks cheaper.(anywhere from #210 to $240) The photohunter is much much easier to use in many ways: attaching to tree, checking number of photos taken, on, off and testing and way easier and you get vary few mistake photos. Picture quality is about the same. Batteries last alittle over 3 months with the photohunter.....as deer cams go, thats really good!
Best toys I purchased in the last 10 years!
Good Luck!
