cellular trail cams

Hi All. This is my first time using the forum.  I like waterfowling best, but I also love deer hunting. I bow hunt in  Westchester/ Putnam, and am fortunate  to have 90 acres in Otsego county  where I do most of my gun hunting. I am a high school science teacher so I am lucky to have the summers off.During this time I do alot of fishing both salt and fresh water..  Now that the akward intro is done.ha. here is my question! I  have been  doing some research on Moultrie cellular trail cams. You know.. the ones that email you  your trail cam photos. I thought they would be great option to keep tabs as to whats going on my property in Otsego county . (Both in terms of game activity and also of unwelcomed  visisitors.) Has anybody used them? Any suggestions, words of caution, etc would be greatly appreciated!

By the way, my name is Bill.  Nice to meet everyone!

Welcome...  Problem with them is they are so damn expensive.  You check out that monthly fee? Plus your limited to so many photos at a specific resolution (file size).  Its not worth it unless you have $ to burn

[twarwj81]

Wow  30 dollars a month for the most economical option!  I wish I had that money to burn problem!

[burmjohn]

Yeah and that $30 gets you hardly any pics.

Well I guess I will go with a traditional camera. Dicks has  an infrared 5 Mega pixel camera by Wildgame Innovations. It includes  batteries and  2 gb card  on sale for  $99, That sounds alot more appealing right now. Thanks for the heads up John!

Welcome Aboard.  Maybe I should've become a High School teacher so I could afford land in upstate NY and cellular trail cams.  I'd even get all summer off to lounge around.  Must be nice.

;D
