GMMAT: Why dont you just buy the 6v rechargable battery and charger rom cabelas. You will save money in the long run.

Stealth Cam. Battery lasts the whole season and takes great pics. What more could you ask for?? And for the price, why would you waste money on a Cuddeback?

Camtrakker is the best in my opinion. Have tried them all for the most part. I get the best pics form it and the longest battery life also.

any1 ever think of putting the camera faceing the deer in the front so when it trips it takes a pic of him when hes walking right at it. This is what i do and i baought like 5 wildview cameras and they all get photots

Bowhunter:

If you're like me....I'm ONLY trying to get an inventory of the deer on the property I'm hunting. I don't go into their travel routes to set up cameras for a reason.

Like I said.....I set mine up about 15' from a mineral site.....and I'll bet you I'm about 2 out of 100 on "no deer" photos. I'm one of the few that probably started with a Cudde and moved to a moultrie. Also.....if I spent $400 on a camera....I wouldn't be telling you how bad it was.;) Luckily....I found someone that wanted my Cudde more than I did.

Does anyone have any experience with the Primos Silent Image?

Other than the price, which I feel is ridiculous(799.00). Ive read and heard some awesome reviews about it. I want to just bite the bullet and buy one, but am having trouble justifying it, plus I'mtoo worried about theft.

This is the part that got me..........

NearVideo™ captures images at up to five frames per second, or set the still mode for any rate you desire. InstaOn™ gives the camera a trigger response time of less than 1/10 of a second with a PIR motion-sensing range up to 100 ft.[/align]

Right now I have a CamTrakker Digital Ranger, a Cuddeback Excite, a Stealth I450, and a Moultra 1.3 MP. They range in price from $450 to $100. The CamTrakker is the most expensive of the 4 units, but it takes the best quality photos and has the 2nd best trigger speed next to the Cuddeback. The Moultrie is a piece of junk, the batteries don't last more than 7 days, and it triggers very slow. However, for $100 it works great over a food source like an apple tree/mineral lick, or over a scrape.
Justin, what do you think about the I450? I've heard alot of bad things about the battery life. I just received my external 12 V battery today. I'm going to charge it for about 15 hours and go out tomorrow to install and gather my pics. Its been a week so I better have at least a deer or two on there.

I'll be able to tell you in about 3-4 days. I bought it two weeks ago, threw some fresh batteries and a new card in it, and it's been in the woods ever since. Hopefully I get some photos on it or else it's going back to Cabela's like the last Stealth cam I bought. ;)

Okay, gottcha. I'm pretty much in the same boat your are. Tomorrow will be the first time I check for pics. I'm telling you now that the battery life sucks [:-] but the camera itself is pretty good. Thats why I went ahead and ordered the external battery. Be sure to post pics when you get them.
