CamTracker - love it. Just ordered a digital too.

buckeye....why are you not satisfied with your Leaf River cams?

Just curious as I own the DC-2 but I'm thinking about getting another LR. Only thing I dislike is their slow 3-4 seconds before it takes a pic. But from my research most or all digital cams are slow thats why I also have two LR 35mm's. Other than that I really like mind and their customer service is top notch.

Well....

My first leaf river would not allow me to use the lcd screen to set the cam settings. I sent it back and they replaced it with a new one.

The cam worked great for me for a while so I bought another one.

Problems I have had:

Both of the cams I will get all black pictures quite often at night. The cams flash is set correctly as well with fresh batteries.

Both cams will at times get washed out white pics during the day light hours.

I have got a couple all orange and yellow pics from one of the cams.

I have got a couple double exposure pics from one of the cams.

One of the cams at times will not trigger and take pics.


The cams will take great pics and are very easy to use and operate. With every thing aside I really like the cams, I believe I just got a few faulty cams?

I have to say ever since i got my cuddeback back from repairs its been working great, its taken over 150 pics in 4 days and i cant complain with any of them. I also think out of all the digitals it has the fastest trigger speed, for the 6 months ive owned it and out of the several hundred pictures its taken only two of them have the rear end of a deer.

I use a homebrew made with a D-380 digital cam, I upgraded the card to a 126mb and it works like a dream... I put it out two weeks ago and it racked up a impressive 446 picture, I identified six different bucks in the area, just moved it to another area of my lease to see whats traveling, its hard to wait another two weeks!!!!!!!!

I've used quite a few trail cameras, at the moment I have another two on order from Nature Qwest (Jeff) haven't gotten them as yet, but I "expect" they will be the answer to all the various problems I've had with trail vcameras.

Buckeyebuckhntr has summed up the DC-2BU LR cameras perfectly---they are good trail cameras--but they do have snags.
Since I've not tried the newer trail cameras on order (Samsung 4.0 IR& Sony S40 4.1)--I'll have to say at this time the LR DC-2BU is the best of the lot I've used ---so far.

Cuddy Digital so far has been better than advertised.

73 pictures (and 10 second "movies") over one week on a salt block this week.

Whats best - the deer seem to have no idea the cam is there - almost never are they looking at the cam in the picture - The silent digital pics/video have been fun.

With the Stealth Cam - 35mm - I got some good pics - BUT - It scared the crud out the deer - and I learned not to put it near where I hunt.

I have the DeerCam... the first one.

I also have had good luck w/ Moultrie.

STEALTH CAM. IT'S CHEAP AND IT GETS THE JOB DONE!
