I keep seeing these beautiful pictures of animals taken with these cameras so now I'm thinking of purchasing one. What do you guys think of them and do you have any recomendations on any brands to look into? Also has anyone ever had one stolen? Anybody feel like sharing their pictures?

If you go back a couple of pages in the forum there are some great pictures and some good info on different brands to buy and some of the problems people have with them.

Bigam,

I love them. Only not Moultrie, but I love them!

I currently use a Homebrew cam made by a member of another board that I frequent and I love it. He sells them for about $150. Click here http://www.woodystaxidermy.com/forum...threadid=11769 for the reason I do not like Moultrie, it is a long post, but worth reading.

Here is a couple of pics taken from my "Lakota" cam. And then the last one is of the same little buck and one of the only pics I was able to get with the Moultrie. Can you see the difference

This is the one from the Moultrie and no it was not foggy that night.

Do the cameras make any noise when they take pictures?

huntinginga

Bucky,

They do, but the deer do not seem to mind. I have sat on stand and watched mine snap pics and the deer not look at it, other times we get pics of the deer walking up and putting their noses to it.

Also use my digital on stand and have had deer stand under me while I snapped away. never minded at all.

Hey fellas thanks for the input I found the other forum shortly after I made my post. Love the pics!

With my Moultrie it dont matter. The deer or what ever is always gone before it ever takes a picture. They are a @####$ peace of junk.

Lifes not about knowing the answers, its about asking the questions.

huntinginga, What is a "Lakota" cam? It's not Jessie's homebrew camera is it?

TREEDOG

Jim where can i get some info on gettin a camera like yours, the quality of those pictures is very high IMHO. Looks like a nice rubb on that tree in the pic also =).

Mdbohunter,

I know that Lakota (screen name at Woody's) is also on Jesses and participates in the discussions there a good bit. So yeah I would say that his plans are probably from that direction or at least part of them. I actually started calling it the Lakota Cam just because that was his screen name and I personally do not care for calling these cams Homebrew since they are of (in general) better quality than a lot of the production models.

Treedog, click the link about Moultrie in my post above, I believe Lakota's email is in there.

Oh yeah....I went to get my cam today and it was burned to a crisp! The land owner did a prescribed burn and destroyed it Guess I will be shopping for a new one today too!
