Cameras and the cold.

[Deerthug]

Using the same lithium AA in my Bushnell Trophy Cam since October 2011. This is the first time I'm leaving it out through the winter. My BIL went up and checked it last week and still showed full battery and took well over 400 pictures.

I changed the card in my camera today, more videos of same does and same buck. I haven't seen the big 8 pointer I am looking for. He may not have made it through. I noticed coyote tracks in the fresh snow right in front of my camera, no pictures? I guess my camera doesn't see everything!

i had 60 pictures of the same stupid rabbit on one of my cams. haha.

Yeah, had a Moultrie I40 cam on a gut pile right up to just before this cold snap. Think got the same fox in dozens of pics. Cam was running on the same 6d batteries since last July with 46% left.

deer generally aren't as active in this temp either though.

Covert MP6 for a good, cheap cam. Can't stress this enough. I am sold on the 2012 line. While I am not a true brand loyalist, I do support specific models in a model year or a model lineup. The 2012 Covert lineup is bottom to top, top to bottom the best proven line across the board (I don't include Reconyx in the conversation).

If you absolutely must have video and need one cheap, then Spypoint G4 from Gander.

But, I strongly suggest the Covert line - 2012 clearance cams are great.

Sportsman's Guide has MP6 for $107.

I think im going with the bushnell also. Cant beat the rating those things have. Got my money back in a dicks gift card the other day. Whole process was rather painless and well worth the 20 bucks. Just called it in, they send you a return sticker and you ship it out UPS and a few days later you get your money back. Will definatelly be buying from dicks again.

Picked up a bushnell a couple of weeks ago. I put the thing out for 2 weeks and got over 500 pics of deer. I guess the other cam was just a pc of crap.

I have 2 Reconyx cameras. Have left them out in temps down to -20 and they work perfect like always. I've tried just about every camera company known to man and nothing works as good as reconyx. I know they are expensive but soooo worth it!!!

I have a Hunten. Has worked in single digit temps. Not sure how well it will do after that. The number 1 concern I have is the lower current of batteries in cold weather. At some point, all batteries stop operating; especially if they are low on charge to begin with.
