growalot Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 So far so good on the Covert black out 60....unless Moultrie has gotten their act together on new cams never again...they last maybe 2years..with luck...I can't say on the Bushnell I won here...it hasn't arrived yet...and still hoping to win a Primo's blk out off another site in Oct.....and I would never recommend any stealth cam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phade Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Covert cams seem to have the market cornered on battery life. They are easy to set up too. Other cams to look at include reconyx (if money is not a factor) and spypoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 When you do finally get the bushnell you will like it. Hopefully 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I'm hopeful that I have good luck with my new Covert. I have not had the best of luck with any of my cameras and currently have a Moultrie, Primos and one of my Bushnells totally or partially screwed up within their third year. I also have a $50 Tasco that takes real crappy pictures, but is still cranking after two years. The best camera that I ever had in terms of quality pictures is the White-flash Cuddeback that got stolen. That one was into its 2nd year, but I will never know how long it might have lasted. I am on the verge of discontinuing my trail cam activities because of the poor quality of camera designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItalianHunter5 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I currently have a Moultrie set up on its 4th year and the night pictures come out plain black, I don't know if the flash isn't working, probably because the day pictures come out fine. But to answer your main question, Covert is probably one of the best out right now and Primos isn't too bad either, takes good pictures.

I am on the verge of discontinuing my trail cam activities because of the poor quality of camera designs. I just got a tasco a few weeks ago. and I put it in the back yard for a few days this way I cam make sure I set it up right and the pictures are being taken . I have alot of deer and small animal acivity as well as the landscapers. alyways I had it there and checked back 2 days later and there were NO pictures at all.... mind you the lacdscapers came and mowed the day before I checked it. I reread the instructions and an confident on the operation but... not sure if the camera is defective or not.. I put it out in one of my new locations right off a main trail and its been there for over a week now. I plan on checking it within the next day or 2. whenever the heat goes away. Have you ever had any issues with your tasco?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geno C Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 BUSHNELL TROPHY CAMS ALL THE WAY super fast trigger speed and VERY fast recovery time in between shots! recovery is key 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitetailAddict11 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Have had good luck with my Bushnell trophy cam as well. First time I used it, it took beautiful pics of a small buck in the middle of a snow storm during January, I was very impressed. Did I mention it was at night? Great pcs, great battery life, and the field scan mode is a great selling point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbucks27 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Anything but wildgame cams for me. I despise that company. They make the worst products on the market its all junk. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I bought a Moultrie D-338s low glo IR 8MP trail cam from the Sportsman's Warehouse that I have to test . Sportsman's whse had it reduced to $80 and then a special to members for $70 . I had a $10 coupon and ended up paying something like $61 for a $130 camera . Piddled around with it last night and I don't find the programming user friendly . Until I get used to the settings I don't think I would buy another one . Gotta try it in the woods yet .

phade Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 What is a D-338? Must be some fancy new model specific to SW? Unless you mean the D-333? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I have to agree with the guys above, stay away from Stealth Cam. Cuddieback has horrible customer service. Wildgame Innovations make fair cameras but they have exchanged every camera that has broke on me without any questions. My next cam will probably be a Covert.

woodchuck Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I have to say primos and stealthcam are not quality cameras. stay away from them. I have 2 spypoint black flashes, a covert 60 and a covert special ops code black. also a browning bf. spypoints have thousands of pictures and are a year old. great cams. great battery life covert's I started using this year and both have been trouble free. great battery life browning takes great video with sound . night videos can be grainy at times but for the price are nice cams. the battery life is ok to good. If I were to get another camera it would be a tough choice between the spypoints and covert. Check wingsupply.com . thats where I got most of my cameras and they usualy have the best prices plus fast shipping. at least once a year they send me a coupon code to get 15% off. I buy alot of stuff there so they even sent me a thankyou for ordering from them and told me I am a top 10% customer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phade Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Moultrie D338s is on the box ... 8.0 MP 70 ft low glow nighttime illumination 1.5 sec trigger speed Must be a house model or something, because Moultrie shows nothing of the sort.

The D338s looks like the D333 but is 8MP . I bought it from the Sportsman's Guide . The product number matches this camera ........http://shop.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/game-spy-8mp-low-glow-infrared-trail-camera.aspx?a=1333120 With the bargains (membership ,coupon , one day sale ) .mine cost me $60.98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
