Game camera's....which one is best?

[maytom]

Seriously thinking of getting one of those units. But with a vast assortment out on the market, I don't want to end up getting a bad one.

Which ones are rated at or near the top, for dependability, ease of use etc.?

Paulie....I am ignorant as hell of such things, but about 3 or 4 years ago I asked the question on this forum..

 

On the advice of several knowledgable  forum members, I bought a Covert MP 6...I used  it a year and was very happy with it, so I bought another one. 

 

To date those little cameras have taken THOUSANDS of images, and they are both still working as well today as when I bought them.  The batteries seem to last almost forever, and the images are very good, IMHO...I have left them out in all types of weather for months at a time and never had an issue.

 

They cost me about $120-130  apiece when I when bought them.  Don't know what they are going for now..

 

I am sure that some of the more knowledgable game cam folks will chime in here and help you out., but with my limited experience I would not hesitate to recommend the Covert .

Except for one model camera , I have had the best luck with Moultrie Game Cameras .

I have three Moultrie I35 GameSpy cams  . one  has been out for 5years and still takes excellent pictures .

Phade told us about the MOUltrie TRACE Premise cams and I now own 4 of those . I was able to buy them for $40 each . Great buy for the price . 

 

I did own a couple of Primos mini cams and neither of those worked very long and are in the junk pile . I had 3 Primos Truth cams and 2 of those are now trash . 

 

So , in my opinion , the Moultries are the best for low cost & efficiency but no doubt Phade will probably feel the Covert Black Flash are the best .

i agree Eddie, for the price I have had good luck with the Moultrie A-5 Gen 2 cams, pretty basic but for $59 each I'm pleased. I do have 2 of the Covert black flash and love them also. I bought them last year on Phades advice and they are great cams, just have to pay more.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I will be checking those models out.

Maybe I missed something, but didn't you ask the same question about 12 hours earlier on another thread?

That's funny. I've done the same thing but differently before. Think about doing something and forget that I've already done it.

Getting old ain't pretty...........
