wtnhunt Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Re: Getting a trail cam Definitely digital whatever you get. Check with KTMMike on a leaf river. He shot me some prices, they are pretty good. Cannot go wrong with the leaf river cams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NonTypicalDeerHunter Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Re: Getting a trail cam Some great advice i was given was to find out how long the battery life is on the cam your looking at....make sure its more than a few days because some are and you want to be able to leave it out there for a while without having to change the batteries.

Tetro Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Re: Getting a trail cam I'm looking into buying my first as well. But I'm lookng at buying a Moultrie MFH-DGS-100 Game Spy 100 Digital Camera. Its listed as being the 2.1 model. 20 days battery life but may vary with weather conditions. If anyone has one already I wouldn't mind some feedback on this. Is it campitable with Windows 98SE. Email me if possible.

NEMOdeerhunter Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Re: Getting a trail cam I have had nothing but stealth cams for the last 6 yrs. Had 3 35mm with good luck on all of them and now I have a DIGC-XTRV 3.0 MP which takes alot of good pictures but it has an extremely slow trigger time but I have a lot of salt licks around so this is not a problem for me. Battery life sucks and I had to buy an external 12v battery ($35) and now it lasts a long time. I should have a new model STC-WD2 coming in the next day or so which has 2-3 second trigger speed and it runs on C batteries so Im hoping that will help the life of it. I paid $145 shipped after a $20 rebate. Ill post back after I have it for a few days. I also have a Cuddeback on the way from KTM Mike, so like was said before so you should also check with him.

wtnhunt Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Re: Getting a trail cam If you want a cuddeback or leaf river, do your research and get your best prices, then come back here and check with Mike. In the unlikely event his prices are not better, bet he will work with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted July 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Re: Getting a trail cam Wtnhunt ive already talked to him and ive looked were he told me to.

hoytguy08 Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Re: Getting a trail cam i have two 35mm stealth cams that are absolutely great, and a moultrie 100 gamespy 1.3 megapixel. A lot of bad things have been said about moultrie but mine works great!! The trigger time could be faster, it is about three seconds but if it is placed on a food plot or water source it doesn't miss a picture.

wtnhunt Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Re: Getting a trail cam [ QUOTE ] But now which leaf river should i get i know thats what im going to get but which one. [/ QUOTE ] I went with the model with the viewer screen(dc-2bu). Dont really need the screen, not sure how easy the features are to use on the non viewer screen model though, might ask Mike, he has had both I think. Really it is up to your preference. The model I have takes some great quality pics, the non viewer screen model is the same camera without the screen. Really for an entry level camera and the price in a commercial camera, it is a great setup. If you wanted to step up to the higher mp camera and spend a little more, you would have the ability to view the pics bigger or print them out bigger or have better quality, but for standard size pics, the dc-2bu is more than good enough for the job.

arrow32 Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Re: Getting a trail cam The price right now doesnt really matter. Im seeing if my unlce will go in half with me and he will more than likly so the price wont be to bad. Since it will be on his farm. wtnhunt the viewer screen. I think i saw that one. Ill have to keep reading on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Re: Getting a trail cam Here is a link with the different models vibrashine. I have the dc-2bu which is the model with the lcd viewer screen. They have a newer model out that is I believe a 6 or 6.3 mp camera, and is supposed to have a faster trigger speed. Cabelas has them in their catalogs and online you could look them up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
