Game Camera Question
I had my 35mm game cam stolen. It was a cheapie, so no big deal.
I've gotta get another one, and I'd really like to try a digital unit. My old 35mm used to click and wind after taking a photo. It was fairly loud. 1. Are the digital ones totally silent? 2. Do you have to bring home the entire unit to look at the photos? 3. Any water/ice/snow problems? 4. Suggestions? |
RE: Game Camera Question
Sorry to hear some lowlife stole your camera. Be careful with a digital, I would hate to have one of those stolen. I have a Leaf River and will refer to it to answer your questions:
1. Yes, totally silent 2. No, I bring a compact flash card with me when going to the camera. I pull out the card in the camera and replace it with the one I brought with me. I bought a card reader for $20 to look at the pics on my computer. Also the cards run $30 to $40 apiece depending on how many megs you go with. 3. Not yet and have not heard of any. 4. Buy a Leaf River! I am very happy with mine and will be buying a 2nd one to put at another property I hunt. Another suggestion I have read from Cornfed is to use a cable with a cinch lock to help deter theft. Right now I have mine padlocked with a normal "bike type" coiled cable but am going to add a cinch lock for extra security. |

RE: Game Camera Question
I recommend building your own. can build cheaper than you can buy, plus get the added satisfaction of doing it your self. they are not very difficult to build now a days.
p.s guys who you the pythons, they only deter the honest folk who might slip up and become dishonest as these are easily cut with a small pair bolt cutters. if they want your cam they will get it no matter what you use. I recommend visiting hagshouse.com or jessie's hunting page for more info on how to build your own. I have built over 15 in the last year. kinda fun b/c as new stuff comes out you sell your old and upgrade. abh |

RE: Game Camera Question
Avoid the digital Stealth cams like the plague!
They suck, have a variety of problems and Stealth dose not stand behind their products. If you must get a stealth (DON'T DO IT!!!) the 1.3 mp cam has les issues then the 3.0 mp model. BUT DON'T DO IT!!!! |
RE: Game Camera Question
Aaahhhh, yet another HAPPY Stealth customer!!! :D I have never heard anything good about 'em! I tried the 3MP model and based on my own experiences.... I totally agree with you.... they arte terrible! [&:]
