Moultries Vs. Cuddeback
 
Looking to buy a new trail camera. Only wanting to spend around $150, $160. I had bad luck with moultries in the past( ones with the big 12v batteries) have not tried a cuddeback, too much$$. What do recommend. Thanks.

I'd would go with a homebrew
this is a great camera from a builder who has built 100's of camera's

i have never had a problem with moultries and the way i look at it is you can put 2-3 moultries out for the price of one cuddeback. so even though they have a slower trigger speed they are the better choice

You get what you pay for imo

Bushnell Trophy Cams for me. You can usually pick them up on sale at one of the big box stores for around $140. I've run Cuddebacks, Moutries and some of the cheaper ones and I love the Bushnell Trophy Cams. Good detection area, have never had a problem not triggering and the battery life is unreal. I also use Cuddeback and really think they are a pretty good camera but run through battery life pretty quick, at least in anything below 40 I also think the IR could use some work but the flash ones do give good pics.

Personally, I'd stay away with anything that uses C or D cells if you plan on running it in any somewhat cold weather. You'll wind up spending more on batteries than you do on cameras. There are a few good review websites on out there that do some REALLY extensive tests that I have found helpful. Google reviews for the cameras you are looking at you should find the websites. I believe chasinggame is a good one.
