I've been down that road Moultrie is probably in my best bang for ur Buck it's easy to use and always been dependable for me. Also Stealth cam is also a good one but it's  preference I guess good luck...

Luke Clayton here. Take a look at the Predator Trail Cam.   www.predatortrailcams.com   I've been using one a couple months and found it tough as a boot, reliable and I like the 'onboard' screen. AWESOME trail cam! Good hunting to you

moultrie is a little slow but my two have lasted for years. I have heard the scoutguard was pretty bad ass!

I have a moultrie and I liked it up until this past month.  It worked fine, took good pictures and WAS dependable.  But the past two months it only takes pictues for a week and turns itself off.  I turn it back on and the percentage of the batteries show 90%.  So I went ahead and put new batteries in it anyway and it does the samething!!  My brothers is starting to do this very exact samething and we bought them together the same day!!

Has this happened to anyone that has a moultrie?

I use the usb for videos on my predator which is NOT recommended. The videos get a little jumpy but it does work well. Battery life without the external battery is a little low. But here is a sample.

GO CLIMB A TREE, TIM

I bought a cuddeback the beginning of this season and so far it's worked fine. I used moultrie before that and liked them very well until the digital display faded out. When it's time to buy another one, i'll most likely go moultrie. I'll just cover the display so the sun does'nt burn it out.
