JR60 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Need advice on a good trail camera to buy that is user friendly and captures good pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turkeyfeathers Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Like my Calbelas brand at $120 per. Running 3. Great battery longevity and pics are pretty good. But if your looking for better than average, contact Phade on here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zag Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I'm def no expert like phade but Ibe had decent luck with Bushnell so I haven't tried others. I will say I know someone who has a cell cam and last fall basically got this buck two days in a row at the same time via his cell phone, 3rd day he setup and the buck came thru like clock work and sealed the deal, it's almost cheating.

jman22 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Look into the Covert brand as well. No complaints from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phade Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I have a few 2017 Browning Dark Ops Elite 940 left - my rep inadvertently sent me 13 extra cams. I'm selling them on a fire sale to help her out. PM if you want one - sending the unsold ones back tomorrow evening.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adkhunter1590 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Unless you want to spend big money on something like Reconyx, brownings seem to be the best bet as far as I've seen the last few years. Here's a couple pics to show the quality pics you'll get from the browning strike forces. The tree line behind this buck is almost 100 yards away and it still gets some light way out there. I like cams with good lighting all the way across the picture rather than a tunnel beam of light that misses the edges of pics. These next two pics are a great example of a good detection range on a camera. Look hard and you'll see two deer pretty far out in the field. I'm impressed these cams pick up movement that far out on a regular basis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYBowhunter Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Browning is the way to go for their size, ease of use, quality picture and at a relatively good price. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizCT Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I use cheap Stealth cams and they work great. I use the 3 shot burst mode, so 1 of the 3 usually gets the head clear enough to count points.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grab the P-12's online for like $40 each and they work great! I just scored a 2 pack online for $76 with free shipping. Now that's a deal that can't be beat!

stubby68 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 The stealth cams are great cams. I picked up a set of 3 and card reader from sports men's guide last fall for about 200. The cams have been out since October 19th I get 300 to 400 pics weekly on each cam. They still have first set of batteries in them. Battery still reads full power. The reader works great but man does that thing use batteries. I have put 5 sets in it since I started seeing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LET EM GROW Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Depends on your price range your willing to spend. But for the price and the quality , Brownings cams are top notch! See Phade if interested! These pics are from the 2015 models, the new models are even better! Edited July 28, 2017 by LET EM GROW 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a thing call Apple Lightning Jack. Put SD card into jack and then plug into my iphone, upload and then delete everything off the card. Then the card is clean and goes back in. Then when I get home I sort through all the pics on the iphone which is nice because you can zoom with clarity, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's close to 12,000 pics, that must go from full to zero battery pretty quick . Anyone looking for a browning hit Phade up. I'd love to test a reconyx cam but I'm not hanging that much money on a tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
