what one do you think is good???

RE: what is the best trail cam???
 

I love my moultrie but I have seen awesome results with the cuddeback.

RE: what is the best trail cam???
 

where is stealth?

I'm putting my stealth vote under wildview since stealth makes wildview. i wouldn't call stealth/wildview the 'best', necessarily. but, i would call them the best for what i'm willing to spend on a cam. 'best' in my opinion is buckeye.

RE: what is the best trail cam???
 

Cuddeback for sure

RE: what is the best trail cam???
 

The only thing best about Cuddeback is their marketing. There are many better cameras, though many of them are very very expensive.

RE: what is the best trail cam???
 

I like my bushnell I will put trigger speed up against a cuddeback any day.

RE: what is the best trail cam???
 

Cuddeback....at least my 05 model. The new design may have put them down on the list do to flaws.

RE: what is the best trail cam???
 

For the price of a moultire and how great of a picture comes out of it, I would have to say moultrie. The cuddies take really nice pics, but they are a little pricey.

RE: what is the best trail cam???
 

I am a die hard cuddeback fan....but I know a buddy who has a couple of the Penns woods cams....I think they are the best, but very expensive

RE: what is the best trail cam???
 

If you are looking for the best trail camera I would say none of the above.

If you want my opinion on the best of the four I would say the Cuddeback, but the Wildview and Moultrie cams are not far behind but do not cost nearly as much as the Cuddeback.

RE: what is the best trail cam???
 

Moultrie I can buy 3 or 4 of them for the price of one cuddle back. My moultries work just fine for me. And if someone steals it i'm not out as much

RE: what is the best trail cam???
 

cool alot of people like cuddeback and alot like moultrie so how long does the batteries on both of them and what kind of batteries do they take???

RE: what is the best trail cam???
 

Well you don't have stealth placed up there so really can't get a good idea who likes what but I will put my vote in as a stealth. Don't believe you have to spend a lot of money to get good quality pictures. They all work great just have to know how to set them up probally.

RE: what is the best trail cam???
 

yeah I have a problem with the wildveiws because the flash is'nt to bright but the picture quality is great

RE: what is the best trail cam???
 

The "best"? None of the above! The "best" under $200? It is a crap shoot from the list above.

RE: what is the best trail cam???
 

I've taken over 500 pics with mine this year and i'm going on my 2nd set so far. It really depends on the temp, when it gets colder a person will go through them alot quicker i'm sure! My no-flashcuddeback takes D batteries, 4 of them.

RE: what is the best trail cam???
 

cuddeback without question.

RE: what is the best trail cam???
 

what kind of batteries do they take

RE: what is the best trail cam???
 

cuddeback uses four d's and they last a loooong time. literally, months.

RE: what is the best trail cam???
 

4 D batteries, i stated that in my previous post! You will love the pictures if you get one!

RE: what is the best trail cam???
 

cool so D batteries last a while on cuddebacks

RE: what is the best trail cam???
 

Out of the options my favorite is the moultrie, the cuddeback is no worth the money. If i was to buy any camera it would have to be a predator evolution.

RE: what is the best trail cam???
 

I have experience with 3 of the 4 cameras listed above. I have never used Stealth or Wildview before. I have 9 Moutrie Cameras (5 of the new ones - Gamespy 4.0mp; 2 of last year's model - Gamespy 3.1 mp w/ camo finish, and 2 older models - Gamespy 2.1mp). I also have 2 of the Bushnell Trail Sentry 3.2. My buddy also has a couple of the Cuddebacks (I'm not sure which brand).

The Moutrie Cameras are cheap and the picture quality good. Of the 3 camera brands, they are by far the easiest to use. Battery life in the older models (uses a 6 volt battery) sucks, usually only lasting around 10-14 days, although you can extend the battery life a week or so with a solar panel on the Gamespy 3.1. The newer cameras (Gamespy 4.0) switches to 6 DD batteries. Lasts much longer, usually 3-4 weeks. There is not alot to dislike about the new Gamespy 4.0. At around $89 at Walmart, you can buy 3-4 of them for what you would pay for 1 of the others. If you are using the cameras just to see what is out there, there is NOTHING that is better. If you want professional quality pictures, go elsewhere.

The Bushnell Cameras are ok, but I have had some problems with them. They are difficult to set up. There is no laser aiming and the quality of pictures is even worse than the Moutrie. In one of the two cameras I have, moisture and mold somehow got into the interior of the camera - dont know how - it was properly sealed. They take 4 DD batteries that lasted me only about 12-14 days. I would not recommend this camera.

I don't have as much experience with the Cuddebacks, but I have been with my friend when he sets it up, changes batteries, etc. It takes 4 DD batteries. They claim battery life is up to 6 months, but I have never seen it last more than 3-4 weeks, similar to the moutrie above. As a plus, however, the picture quality is pretty good. But for all the benefits you get, I don't think it is worth the extra price. In other words, the benefits dont outweigh the costs.

My opinion.

RE: what is the best trail cam???
 

moultrie. my moultrie 3.1 uses 6 volt batteries and i have been using the same battery for 3 months now. before ya'll attempt to flame me, hear me out. my cam isn't over bait piles where you get 400 pic's a week. it's over a scrape where i average 25 pic's a week and the average temp. is 90+.

RE: what is the best trail cam???
 

Put the Predator on your Christmas list. You'll love it.

RE: what is the best trail cam???
 

If i had unlimited money i would be running only Camtrackers, but since i dont i use Moultrie and Stealth.

RE: what is the best trail cam???
