joeyd50 Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Why do people keep buying these Moultrie cameras? Aren`t there better cameras out there in the $150.00 price range? I`m just curious with all the problems the Moultries cameras have why would anybody buy one. I just thought this would make a interesting topic.

Guest whitetailarcher Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Re: Why buy a Moultrie Joe, I'm really hoping there are people who disagree with you. I haven't heard that much bad about them besides a little hit and miss. I just happened to buy the new 4.1 Cabelas outfitter and I'm really hoping its going to work fine, if it does happen to be slow trigger speed I guarantee its going back.

Guest Eastky_Bowhunter Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Re: Why buy a Moultrie I am not here to talk bad about a product, but I had to Game Spy 100's. Had the out for about 1 month and I only got 4 pics. One of a deer but it was so washed out you could not tell anything about it. 3 were flase triggers. I took both back to wal-mart. I will never own another. I have 4 homebrews and working on 2 more. In the last 6 months I have logged over 5,000 pics with my homebrews.

njbowhunter27 Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Re: Why buy a Moultrie I have the moultrie 200 never had a problem not even a blank pic. So I would have to say my trigger speed is good and so is the camera. I have had the camera out 4 times filled the memory once and battery is still 99% so I am very happy with my moultrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Re: Why buy a Moultrie Why do people buy them. Because of the price. I had a cuddeback. It was stolen, so it was very hard for me to spend another $400 bucks on a new one. I have had cameras out over 7+ years and never had one stolen or bothered. But then lost the cuddeback so dont want to go down that road again. As for the Moultrie I currently have 3 and have had no problems with them. Oh and all 3 only have costt me about $200 bucks. For the Money you just cannot beat them... IMO. [ QUOTE ] I have 4 homebrews and working on 2 more. In the last 6 months I have logged over 5,000 pics with my homebrews. [/ QUOTE ] Thats a lot of photos in that time frame. Must be a TON of deer in your area. Lets see thats like 26 to 28 photos a day. Must have them in good spots.

Guest bowhunter56 Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Re: Why buy a Moultrie I bought mine for the price, it's what i could afford, it takes great pictures, i do not like the alien eyes on flash photo's but that's the way it is, last week i had 128 pictures, if i could afford a cuddeback or leafriver, i would buy one, but for now the moultrie is working fine.

Lets see thats like 26 to 28 photos a day. Must have them in good spots. [/ QUOTE ] I have one at a mineral block and one in my soybean plot. Both set on 1 min delay. I get about 50 pic a day at each of these sites. The other 2 are on trails leading to the soybean plot. They are set on 10 sec delay. They average 20-30 pics a day. So I get multi pics of the same deer. After season I put one at my feeder to see what made it thru season and I can fill a card up (300+) in about 2-3 days.l I am not trying to put the Moultrie cams down I am just telling what I had happen to me with 2 cams. I have seen several post by many people that have good luck with them. And I have seen several with problems. One thing is that people expect a $99 camera to work like a $400 camera. That is just not going to happen. Another thing is user error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Re: Why buy a Moultrie People buy them for the same reason they were buying the cheapy stealth film cams when they first came out. The price. Wal mart if you are among one of those who happens to get a bad one will exchange it if you buy it from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyd50 Posted July 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Re: Why buy a Moultrie I did not start this post to trash the Moultrie camera, it just seems all I read are negative things about the Moultrie cameras and was wondering way people still buy them. I have a Moultrie 100 and it works OK, but this is my 5th Moultrie first 4 all had problems. I like seeing all these positive replies, this lets people know, not all Moultrie cameras are bad. Like I said, I just thought this would make a interesting topic. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntaholic Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Re: Why buy a Moultrie I just bought the 100 for $60 at Wal-Mart yesterday. Set it out last night and all I got was a pic of a deers butt . The pic was pretty clear though. Even at regular price I could buy 4 of the Moultries for the cost of a Cuddeback. It triggers in about 3secs. not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
