Looking for a good game camera

They're all a crapshoot until you get to the $250+ american made ones. It's all the same cheap chinese components. You'll get recommendations for every brand with "mine has worked for 6 years". I've owned moultrie, stealthcam, wildgame, and primos, all have crapped out at random times. It's all luck of the draw if ole Chang was hungover when he was soldering. Best plan is to buy from a place like academy with a no questions asked return/replace policy until you find one that works.

I've found you have to get into the 250 range as well.

Stealth Cam, high end Brownings, etc.

Moultrie D55-IR cheap and works great for the price.

I just picked up 2 Primos Proof 01 game cameras recently. Good reviews and hard to beat for the price. Dick's has a great deal on them right now

Only been using them a few weeks but I like them. Very easy to operate.

FYI, these cameras are $59.99 and then you get a $30 Rebate at Dicks.

I have Moultrie cameras that have stayed out year round for 5 years and work fine. Best bang for the buck IMO



Not sure of their quality now

Bought a Browning Strike Force last December to try it out. Put batteries in it and set it facing my driveway as a "security camera". It took approx. 3000 pictures (wife and I leaving and returning throughout the day, as well as a few deer). Got another 1000 on so on it this season in the woods. Still going on first set of batteries, and it says it's still got 27% battery life left. Good pictures, too. Im sold on it.

As soon as it starts warming up, take them out of the woods. It's the humidity that kills them.
