Guest MissouriHunter Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I am looking into buying a trail camera, but I do not know which brands are good and which aren't. I know I want digital, and my friend has a cuddeback that works great. I just don't get why it costs $400.00 and I can get a regular digital one that's only $100.00. What's good and what's not? What type does everyone use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhtr1 Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Re: Trail Cameras I made my own for about 250 dollars. 4.1 mp with all extras you can add. I have heard some bad and good about cuddle back I would not get one. I would get a Leaf River if i didnt make my own. The 100 dollar cams are 100 dollar cams. Think about it. Which ever way you go I know you will not stop with just one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bond Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Re: Trail Cameras check out THIS POST someone just asked a similar question. Also, you should stay away from those $100 cams. You get what you pay for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Re: Trail Cameras Been pretty happy with the leaf river digital. If I was in the market for another cam, would definitely buy another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rolngthun Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Re: Trail Cameras I tried three different 100 dollar Maultries, they will work, just not very well. I got the new Cuddle 3.0. Excellent camera. Very fast Very nice pics. They are suppose to be coming out with it in IR. When they do I will get one of them too.

Guest Finn Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Re: Trail Cameras I like my leaf river and would recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bow Hunter Derek Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Re: Trail Cameras Another Leaf River vote here. I've had mine for two seasons and love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvonLKHunter Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Re: Trail Cameras I would recommend a Cuddeback, I own one and I am very happy with it. The trigger speed is way faster than Leaf River, plus longer battery life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
double_drop Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Re: Trail Cameras it all depends on the price for the megipixel. I just bought a digital for 70 bucks with mail in rebate. Doesn't even have a one megipixel but the pics look good enough for me. Actually come in pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bozz Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Re: Trail Cameras I had a cuddy.....didn't care for it too much took it back and got a Leaf River of which I like very much...and have had now for over a year....trigger speed is way over rated IMHO.....if you set the cams up back off the trail a little and at the right angle with a low mb card (which does affect trigger speed...) and turn the dial up to the 2 o'clock position you'll get full pics....have not miss a full deer yet.......keep in mine fast triggers do drain batteries and image quality can suffer some.....Really like the Leaf and will be getting another one.....
