Scouting Cameras

Muddy,
You dont need to go to woodies website. I can give you first hand experence with the (@)(*#$(%) Moultrie Game Cam II. They are a peace of junk.
I got one in Sept and set it out on a trail going to my food plot. This trail was about 3 to 3 1/2 yards from my camera. Fresh deer tracks in the field and on the trail. I check back in a week. Film taken GREAT!! Put another roll in. (First mistake. Did not develop it right then.) I went back again in another week and again the film was taken. Well I then take them to get developed.
Visions of world class bucks on each picture dancing in my head as I picked up the film. BUT whats this a photo of the empty field, and another, and another.......48 pictures of that same empty field. I call the company (I had reloaded the camera) and they told me to check the 3rd role and if it did the same to send it to them.
To make this story short. I have sent the camera back 5 times so far. They replace the board and camera and it still does the same thing.
They sent a rechargable batt to me for my trouble but the thing was dead (would not charge).
It has been at the company for about a week now and I am going to call the 800 number (which they did not list) and check on it today.
This is my story. Woodies has several and other sites have more.
Bottom line it is junk may work for a while but it will go out. Mine has never worked.

Who
I have only developed one roll of film from my Moultrie, but the pics are really good and clear. I was wondering, what speed film did you use? I used 800 speed, and one deer I got a pic appeared to be trotting, so the film speed was okay. So far, so good with the Moultrie. I've talked to some people who have one and seemed pleased by it. Of course there are bad ones, or maybe mine is a rare good one so far. Who knows, it could fail next week. But if it fails within a year, I'll be sure to get my money back from Moultrie.

Jeff,
I am glad you are having good luck with yours. I had 2 of the original Moultries that worked flawless for about 8 months and then they both died...at the same time might I add.
I then went through a serious headache with trying to get 2 of the new ones working. After sending them both back 2 times, I finally said they could keep them and the offered to send me an ATV spreader instead. I said fine, then Moultrie not only sent me the spreader, they sent me 2 more cameras. So I go hang them and one would not accept film, the other took 24 pics within 10 minutes of me hanging it. So they are now sitting at the house collecting dust beside my spreader.
I now know of 3 people including you that have had good luck with the camera and I am more than happy for you. Heck I had great luck with my original Moultries and gave rave reviews. I hope yours continue to give you good service.

Thanks huntinginga
I hope they continue to work too. I do have to say, your pics really look good! Also, I'm having trouble accessing my picture hosting. If anyone wants to put a Game Cam pic up for me here, I'll email the pic to you. Thanks.

Jeff ask me to post this for him.
This is a pic he took with his Moultrie cam, which he is having good luck with. If only that tree was not in the way

Jeff,
Im glad that its working for you. I use the 800 also. I still say a deer would need to crawl in front of mine and die before it would get a picture of it.
Good Luck,
Rick
