RE: scouting cameras
 

I have 4 game cameras: a Photoscout by Highlander, 2 Moultrie' sand a Buckshot Scout. By far the best is the Photoscout by Highlander. I have had this camera 2 years and it works perfect. The buckshot is good but uses batteries faster. The Moultrie' s have been sent back and worked on more than once and they just aren' t as reliable. However, the people at Moultrie are as good as it gets for service.

The batteries in my EZ cam seem to last about a month to six weeks also.

I have the non-typical game cam here and love it. Works excellent and I have never gotten a picture with nothing in it. I shopped around and found it for $220.00.

RE: scouting cameras
 

I was wondering if anyone has had experience with the Buckshot 35. There is a guy on EBay who has some at an unbelievable price (almost too unbelievable).

walmart sells the stealth cam for 65.00 which is great, and to make the deal a little sweeter Deer and Deerhunter October 03 has a 20 dollar rebate offer on page 161.

I have a Buckshot 35 and it works excellent. The heat sensor makes sure the pictures you get will have a animal in it. I have pics of Deer, Coyotes, a Pheasant, Snowshoe Rabbit, and others. The only drawback i see is dont forget your magnets when you run out to change/check film. Other than that the camera works great. I recommend changing the batteries every time you change the film too.

RE: scouting cameras
 

I' ve had three different cams. Here they are from good to bad:

#1. TrailTimer Photohunter. The batteries last a long time (2+ months even in the winter!). 95% of my pictures are of deer. These take a picture as soon as motion is detected, not all cameras do that and for some reason none of them say whether they have ' instant picture' or not. I' ve had mine in the woods for over 2 years and only took it out once! (to replace the camera after a raccoon attack). I have hundreds of pictures. Now they have some new camo which REALLY conceals it.

#2. TrailTimer EZ-Cam. They improved a couple things with the EZ-Cam. It really does seem to be water proof. You can chain this one on a tree. And, your pictures won' t wash out like they can in the photohunter if you aren' t carefull. The negatives are there is a slight pause after motion is detected before it takes the picture. Also, you have to open the case up to turn it on or off. Another nice thing is you don' t have to take the back off to change the (1,5,10 minute) delay between events.

#3. Leaf River Trail Scan. It looks really nice and has some nice features. But there is about a 3 second pause after motion is detected before it takes the picture. So don' t put the ' Trail Scan' on a trail because the deer walk by before the picture is taken. It does have time AND date imprint not just time OR date. Went right back to the store.

RE: scouting cameras
 

Have any of you guys tried the Lithium-Ion batteries to see if they last any longer?

RE: scouting cameras
 

Mike from texas............I replied here earlier and with the Trialtimer Photohunter the directions say to use lithium batteries. I consistently get 3 months when using those batteries.

Good Luck!
