just bought trail camera $85
 

I just bought a trail camera for $85 bucks that someone made off ebay. I know i dont exepect a whole lot out of it but I cant afford $300-400 for a good one and all i want is a few rolls of film. Anyone know where I can get another reliable camera for less than $100??

go to wal mart and by the stelth camera. i don' t have one but people say it is worth the money they run about 60 to 80 bucks.

The stealth cameras are pretty affordable, but I don' t know how good they are.

Most reports on the Stealth have been very favorable
am getting one this week end can hardly wait!!:D

RE: just bought trail camera $85
 

I got one a couple weeks ago.I have put 4 rolls of flim,total of 96 pic' s and only got 6 good one out. all the rest are just blank.no pic. at all,can' t figure whats happening.I know it works,because I set it and walked in front and it took one of me.thats the best one on the roll,one coon , the rest blank.

I am calling them tomorrow to see if they know what is happening.

I' m trying to get my brother inlaw to buy one. There is a $20 mail in rebate in the Octobet issue of Bowhunting magazine. They are on sale at Dick' s for $70. My wife bought me a Non-Typical 4 years ago and she would kill me if I bought another one.

i have a stealth cam, and it kicks but!!!! i have 2 rolls through it, and about 36 good pics. it is in my backyard. the bad pics were of my dad cutting the lawn, putting out corn, and one of the back of a turkey the was just at the bottom of the picture

What kind of batteries in the STEALTH cam and how long do they last?????

RE: just bought trail camera $85
 

there are 8 AA batteries. not sure how long they last. depends on how many pics it takes.

Suthernbuck,

i' m a little curious about the auction off ebay. i remember a site where some guys give away free plans to help you build your own trail cam. they have the plans copyrighted, but they are having a huge problem with people using their plans for profit. could you tell me who you bought it from so they can check it out.

Stealth cam from " the" mart took its first roll with no problems. Best 70 bucks I have spent this year.

I have a friend that just bought one and got several nice picture on the first roll, several pic' s with nothing in the picture.........then on the second roll, the camera hasn' t taken any more pictures. The corn was gone and had a ton of tracks there but no pic' s. I told him to replace the batteries, he said that if the camera goes through batteries that quick (1 roll) then he would get another camera.

I own the Non-Typical Deer Cam DC100 and love it.......but I guess for the money the Stealth Cam is pretty decent.

I bought two of the Stealth cams and I must tell you, that these things are a great bang for the buck.

I have gotten two rolls back, one roll I took out earlier just because I was relocating the camera and wanted a full roll.

So far, I have only had a few pics with nothing in them, and that is because I had the camera set to take two pictures in a row. I would get pics of a doe, then the next pic would be empty because the deer ran away.

The picture quality is very very good, even at night. No flash wash out pics to date.

I have already gotten several pictures of bucks. The most recent of a small 6 point.

That is another thing, I have the cameras set with 40 pounds of corn in front of them, and all I have gotten pictures of is deer.

Time will tell how these end up, but, as of now (2 weeks), they are going strong. The battery light hasn' t went off, so the batteries are still good.

The camera is easy to set-up, and the front display is nice as you don' t have to open the camera to see how many pics were taken. It also has a feature where it will count events up to 99 even after the film is done.

Setting up the functions is very easy.

Jason,

Where did you get yours at? I checked walmart.com but it seems that they only have the Moultrie cam and not the Stealth cam listed. I think I would like to pick one up and use it before deer season.

Hey Frank,

I got both of mine at my local Wal-Mart. $64.95 each! I am trying to get ahold of my best friend to see if he wants to go check on my other cam. It is on his uncles property and I don' t want to go over there without him. Hopefully I can get ahold of him and get the pics developed tonight (as the camera should be done), but, it doesn' t look like it is gonna happen! [:' (]

Check your local Wal-Mart. Most all of the Wal-Marts around here have them, and they have a good supply of them. These things have been selling like hot-cakes this year, while the new " camo" Moultire Game Cam has been selling like 71 Ford Pinto' s :D O guess people realized that those cameras are junk!

my stealth cam rocks! i have so far used it on 3 rolls of film leaving it out a week at a clip with 24 pictures at a roll with still the same batteries. pictures are good quality with 200 speed kodak film . i just looked at my cabelas catalog and chuckled when i saw the page with trail cameras costing 200$-300$ dollars. what a purchase. im setting mine up in one last area then i will pull it out of the woods because the season starts for me at the end of september so i want the deer to calm back down althou i dont think its mattering much. what a neat tool. im setting mine up on the tree slightly under my waist level and im about 6 foot tall if this helps anyone. any higher for me tends to chop the deer off a bit. ive also added removable camo tape just cause it looks cool. cant really lock it to the tree all that great but where i hunt im the only one out there scouting this early.
