Was thinking about getting one just to use around our place as we live in a rural setting and get alot of wildlife on our two acre patch. Will likely use to take some shots around our chicken coup just to see what might visit in the wee hours. Any suggestions from the brothers here on a decent yet inexpensive unit? I saw one in a Natchez ad by Browning for around $100....that had 10pxl cam w/ card n batteries included...good deal?

In my experience, don't pay out much for them, unless you get a super high end unit.....I think one is called plot watcher.

I've owned many brands ranging in price. They are ALL temperamental. It can be very frustrating.

Batteries die early

No pictures

Only 5 pictures

Pictures of coons and crows.

But my deal is different. I check mine weekly as they are an hour away from home. Once you get them working correctly, they usually do fine.

Honestly, I would buy whatever is on sale. I can't tell much difference in any of them. However, I haven't tried the Browning.

$100 sounds like a solid price to me.

I knew I could count on my ole buddy Mattie for a review of these....🍺

Here is a link to the one Natchez had for under $100 but had others for a bit more on sale too.

Thanks Mattie

Brownings are priced from $130-$170.

He uses the ladies room anyway cause he's gotta check the camera card.

Sounds like a good deal for what you're gonna use it foe Paul.

Did the trick and I ended up taking out nearly 20 raccoons over the course of a year. Haven't had any problems since.

IIRC I picked up whatever infrared video/still setup was on sale at Cabelas for under $100.

These things go on sale all the time and there are a lot of rebates out there as well

Prices might be floating a touch high with hunting season around the corner

I usually end up with the primos brand for $30-$60 after rebate

You may even get a deduction on your home-owners for installing security cameras?

Thanks all for your input, it seems this issue has been resolved by Jules n Grumpy who had a very nice one laying around that they weren't using....I don't know much about these things @ all but thought Bushnell was a good one and this appears to be one of their nicer ones. Mod # 119937 w/ a 7 mp camera and built in animal calls.

Thanks Again to the Ladies of Moose Manor, we very Much enjoyed our short but sweet visit and look forward to the next time.

Mount the camera about waist high pointed slightly down. You can use a stick at the top to get your angle.

Avoid facing east or west if possible. The direct sun makes pictures hard to see

Cut any small limbs within a 20 yard radius. The wind will blow leaves setting off the camera.

Have fun buddy. I have a nice 10 pt on camera that Ocho has called "Dibs"
