thanks for everything guys and gals....the best forum for hunting and the best folks....peace out

IL-CORNFED Thanks for the great info and pictures. I'm going to order one from Jesses. Can you use rechargeable batteries in the LR unit? If not, what brand lasts the longest for you.
Thanks again.

LR advise agaisnt the use of rechargeables in their units. They suggest Duracell and Energizers as the best that they have tested.

Lets see what cameras I have used....

Stealth Cam GSM
Stealth Cam GWSM
Stealth Cam DIGRC-XTR
Moultrie Game Cam
Moultrie Game Cam II
Non-Typical DC-200
CamTracker
Trail Mac Digital

Out of these, the best are the Trail Mac Digital and Stealth Cam GSM! The Trail Mac Digital takes great pics, has awsome battery life, and has a fast triggering sensor. The Stealth Cam GSM is cheap, gets good battery life, takes great pics, but does have a problem with the sensor being too wide.

I currently have the Stealth Cam GSM and a Non-Typical DC-200. The Non-Typical DC-200 has been a bit of a disappointment to me. The camera has the best sensor and the sensor battery life is un-surpassed. My only problem is that I get about 30 pics out of it and the cameras batteries are dead! I still havn't had time to get ahold of Non-Typical, but I will hopefully be able to tommorrow!

My first post here! I have the Leaf River Digital with the view screen. Love the cam and think its the best digital on the market for the money. I think the view screen is way to small for my 50 year old eyes so I decided to try one of those handheld portable TV's to view my pics instead of the small 1.5" screen thats on the camera. I bought a Audiovox 2.5" screen for $64.95 and got an adapter at Radio Shack for $2.95 and it works like a charm. Just make sure you get a TV that has a video in jack.
Radio Shack part is Audio Adapter part # 274-330 with mono-to-mono 1/8" jack plug. As for my opinion if I were to get a Leaf River digital then forget the model with the view screen and spend it on a handheld TV with a larger screen so you can really see what you have.

That's a great tip and one that many may wish to do. Please feel free to post any of your LR pics, I'm always interested in seeing what everyone else is getting? Thanks again for the tip

Cornfed-
Thanks for the recommendation, and I was rewarded when pulling the CF card for the first time.
Now let's see if I can figure out how to attach a picture....

Edited to remove huge pic; see Cornfed's post below.

Yes sir!!! Now THAT is a GREAT pic!!! Thanks for posting man!!! Looking forward to seeing more from your LR!

That 2MP (1600 x 1200) image is a bit much to post full size though? Here the same pic resized (500) for ya bud. Again, that's an awesome buck that's already just about made the investment worth it?



Heres a cropped image as well

Cornfed, is there an easy way to resize just using windows (xp) functionality, or do you use a photo software app?
I have another from 4am this morning....shows the same buck, and that both brow tines are actually heavily palmated front to back (you cannot tell in the above pic.)
Thanks for the compliment. I think he'll be a shooter next year.
