I am a little intrigued by the idea of getting a deer cam as I thought it would interesting to set it up along a trail to see what is crossing. I haven't really looked into them but understand they are a little expensive.

What is everyones opinion on them and what kind do you recommend? What are some of the things you have seen?

I just read a little further and see this is a popular topic, sorry. I would still be interested in a few comments though.

I have a Deer-Cam DC100. I really like it. They are around $279.95 and the cost of film and developing does add up. I wouldn't give mine up for nothing though. If you have the time and money, I would reccommend one for sure.

1 way 2 beat the cost of developing is 2 just have the negatives developed, the photo shop charges me a dollar 4 that, then pick out witch pics u want printed. i've read on 1 of these posts that wal-mart only makes u pay 4 the pictures u want?

If you have the time but not quite the money to spend on a commercial unit, I recommend building one yourself.

You can build one from scratch for about $100, or you can buy partially assembled components and finish it for less than $150.

a buddy of mine has one and you wouldn't believe the huge bucks he has gotton on film..funny thing about that though is he has never gotton one of the bucks that he got a pic of...they are a good idea if you can afford one.

I am looking into getting one. I would like some tips, I live in Pa so I need one with an AMAZING locking device. I want a very high quality camera too. I want to see some of the bucks that are in the area I hunt. I have seen some 130-140 inchers this year, and a 170-180 incher too. I will probablly get one in the summer so I can put it out and see what kinda pics I can get. Any tips?

Good Luck This Season: Buck Magnet
P.S. Only Chuck Adams can sit at home and see deer so get into the woods. =;^)

What porkchop said is the way to go I have
the dc100 but have bought the parts that
are listed on jesses hunting page to build
one I wanted two but could not afford the
extra bucks and have heard good results on
Jesses trail cam,good luck!!

what is the site again for jesses trailcams?

Made my own with help off the net.

I think its great to get photos of whats in your area. I mean, I KNOW there are some good bucks that don't get killed. I cannot wait for fall 2002 for me set up a couple over community scrapes !

BTW, mine is curently NOT working, am going to fix it this weekend, so doing it yourself is MUCH cheaper ($125 per camera) but also is a little work too.
