Default DIY Trail Camera

I've been looking for a project to get me through the off season and was thinking about building a trail camera. How many of you guys have pulled this off sucessfully? I was also wondering what controller people have used and had work for them. I've been doing some reading and have seen a lot of controllers out there and I'm unsure which to go with. Has anyone had any experience with the following:

Pixcontroller

Fieldpix Game Camera controllers

Any of the units on the Hag's House site

Thanks,

I built my own this past fall. I used the board that comes from Hags house. It works far better than any other commercial camera out there. The only pics I get with nothing in them are the one after the deer has walked through the line of sight of the camera. I have it set to take 2 pics at a time so sometimes the 2nd pic has nothing. It wasn't hard to build. The guys on the board over there will help you with any questions you have.

Ditto on what Titleist_03 said. I have built 2 using parts and boards from Hags and both were easy to build and work flawlessly. Give it a try, you won't be sorry!
