I've been thinking about getting the Penn's Woods and wanted to know if anyone recommended them?

I have used Moultrie, Stealth, DeerCam, and CamTrackers in the past, but now I am using a TrailMac Digital and I ain't looking back. I got my unit today and set it up this afternoon. I took a walk past the unit at a fast walk to see how fast it would trigger and sure enough, it got me in the center of the picture. I have messed around with these units before and can honestly say, this is the way to go if you have some extra cash.

Only since the price of the units dropped significantly did I start tinkering with them. In other words I have only felt the compulsion to buy and use several basic Stealth models. I hunt heavily pressured public land and losing $70 is alot easier to swallow than $250 or $300.

But I may invest in a digital model for a section of private land I recently gained access to.

I have two Stealth 35MM cameras. For the land I hunt they are OK, but am seriously thinking of upgrading to a digital model. Price is a factor, but I'm leaning towards a Leaf River model. I've been reading alot of good reviews on them, and I have heard more good than bad, and soon they are going to have an IR model.

I use a stealth cam because it works good for the price it costs.

I've tried several and love my Digital Leaf Rivers the most. They are far better than the Stealth and Cuddeback digitals I tried before. I wouldn't waste my time with a standard 35mm anymore.

TrailTimer. I have 2. My trailtimer photohunter is really good on batteries, hardly ever misfires and there is no noticeable delay forthe picture to be taken once motion is detected. I have a stack of pictures over 2 feet long with those two cameras. The only problem I had was when a raccoon went nuts on it and tore everything apart. It broke a little piece off that I was able to super glue back on. My photohunter has been in the woods non-stop for3 years.
I bought a leaf river and absolutely hated it. the delay to get the picture taken was incredibly long. i returned it. So, i was really shocked to see in this pole how many people have the leaf rivers. this was a couple years ago, but it was junk.
