thanks

I have 3 Moultrie game spy 2.1's. Got them from walmart for 99.00 each I think. They work well for the money. Triggers a bit slow, but if you place the camera right, you can compensate for that delay. ( Don;t place them toooo close to the area you are expecting the deer to be in. Back them up a few feet from where you might normally place them. ) But if I wanted to spend a little more I would love to have a no flash unit ( s ). I think they spook the deer less, but that is more money andI see plenty of deer on the cameras and on my stands, even with the flash units, but could I see more, or bigger bucks if they were infra red? Who knows? But for the money .... go with the Moultrie and get the SD memory card to go in it. I have a 1 gig card in each one and if you look around you can find them on sale usually. I got mine from office depot on sale for 20.00 each. I also bought 3 rechargable 6v batteries and 3 solar chargers to hook up to them to keep them charged. Well worth the investment.

thnks 4 the advce. i have the one with the olympus cam in it now. it might b the cuddleback?? i am looking at the low end camtrekker. that seems to get really nice pics. i saw some shots where it had taken just a small mouse. it 149 and thats about the range i was looking..not to exceed 200.

thanks again

From some of the reviews I've read, the Bushnell 2.1 at about $149 is a great reliable camera. It is also supposed to have a really fast trigger speed.

Best cam for the money? =====> Build a homebrew.

For $200 you can build one that will blow the socks off a Cuddeback or Leaf River.

I'm in the process of making a P41 a homebrew. I've had the camera for a couple years. I think I paid around 150 for it. The rest of the materials are going to cost around 70. So in total it will be just over 200 for a sweet camera. I also have a p32 that is in a homebrew it cost about the same.

If you feel that you want a commercial cam I would look towards a moultrie 200. The trigger is slow but if you put it over a feeding area where deer will stick around you will have good success. The quality is great. If you use the moultrie rechargeable batteries you will get around 4 weeks per charge and will save a lot of money in the long run against store bought batts.

I purchased the Bushnell 2.1 this year and have mixed feelings so far. There have been a couple pictures of nothing (May need to adjust the sensitivity?) A few pictures of some deer that were kind of out of focus. And then a few decent pictures of some deer. Of course I've only had it in one location which may not be the best, so I'll probably consider moving it before too long.
