Rob, from what I have seen/read from you in the past you are looking for quality, if that is the case the game camera field gets narrowed down a good bit. In my eyes, my Cuddeback C3000 is the best game camera. It has so many great features and the super fast trigger speed along with the insane battery life just put the cherry on top for me. I have over 700 pics on a set of batteries (4- D Cell Duracells), and my battery level is still at 4 (4 is the highest battery level).

The Moultries have stepped up there game cameras but from my past experiences with them I just can't see making them my "top" camera. The new ones take much better pics than the past ones but several people I know who have them still complain about the battery life and a slower trigger speed.

The CamTrakker digital is another good one to look at but the price isn't cheap.

There are alot of smaller new companies that are pretty much making homebrew cameras that take some of the best quality photos out there.

For me though I want a good mix of everything. My Cuddeback takes great pics day or night but I have seen better, but those cameras can't take 2,000 pics on a set of batteries.

I got a Cuddeback 3.0 mp for X-mas. I had it out from then until march. I also put it back out last Sunday. It's my first camera, but it's great. I would like to get another one.

great cams for the money, i've got three of them.

I like the Cuddebacks. I have three of them. I also have 2 of the Moultrie 1.3s. The picture quality of the Moultries are just as good as the Cuddebacks, which surprised me. But the short battery life of the Moultries can be quite aggravating, if you use them much. As far as the trigger speed, it depends on what you generally set the camera up on.If you'reusing them on salt licks, feeders, or bait piles, the slow trigger speed is rarely an issue. Scrape lines are another possible set where trigger speed doesn't really matter. If your setting them up on trails, or anywhere that the deer isn't going to be standing around for very long, I wouldn't get anything but a Cuddeback.

Rob, If you want quality, try and find a Cuddeback C3000 model. Or if you don't have to have really high resolution, there is a site that sells the refurbished 1.3MP version for around $225 I believe. I'll try to post a link.

I personally have (2) Moultrie 100s, (1) Moultrie 200, (1) Cuddeback C3000, (1) Leaf River IR, and (1) new Cuddeback no flash. In the order that I like the cameras, I would have to say it's

(1) Cuddeback C3000
(2) Moultrie 200
(3) Moultrie 100
(4) Leaf River IR
(5) Cuddeback No Flash

It really depends on how much you want/can afford to spend. I'm reading a lot of good reviews on the Stealth WD2 model and it's priced about the same as the Moultrie 200.

Man that third pic from windtalker, I was like the heck is the wrong with that buck's rack. Took me a minute to notice that it was a tree stump. Great pics.

Thanks guys, that's why I love this forum, great guys and great advice...thanks so much....
