trail cams

Postby teul2 » Mon Aug 03, 2015 9:09 pm

Which trail cams out there get good night time pictures at grater than 10 yards.
Seems all the cameras at my camp seem to get little of nothing out past 10 - 20 yards at night.

bump for a new sub forum. Any info on the cameras you like would be beneficial.

I am leaning towards the Moultrie Game Spy M-880 Gen 2. It has an 8.0MP camera with video, 50ft detection, and 100ft flash. Priced at ~$118. Don't want to spend much more than that right now as I want to get more than one.

I get much better night time pics out of my Moultries than I do the Bushnells

Same for me. My Moultrie takes much better pictures during the night and day than my Primos Truth cams.

of the 3 i have (had): coverts dumped after a year in an especially wet spring, bushnell trophy max has the best detection range and trigger speed but the pics aren't great..especially night pics, and moultrie 880i has the best pics (day and night) and battery life but not great trigger speed.

I got the browning strike force a couple of months ago. Been pleased so far.

I've been using Cuddeyback for several years, and they work great. Easy to operate, good pics, and they seem to last for multiple years. I highly recommend them.

Teul,

I've had great luck out of the Covert Red 40 and Black 60 cameras for nighttime pics. The MP series are pretty good as well.
Sun rise in the east.... and it sets up in the West, yes the sun rise in east baby, and it sets up in the west..... It's hard to tell, hard to tell, hard to tell, which one, which one I love best.....
