Huntress Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Sorry for bugging y'all to death about cams... I'll quit (eventually)... I am looking at two different models... I tried to link them but our school computers won't let us look at Bass Pro or Walmarts websites... The first is a Moultrie 2.1 Megapixel Digital with time and date stamps for 99.99 at Bass Pro. I can't remember the brand of the other. It is at Walmart for about 100.00 as well. It is a digital with time and date as well. It is not the cheapo from Walmart. If you have the time, maybe you could go to the websites and look at each and tell me what you think. 100.00 is about my price range...if I would help me considerably, I could probably go 120. Thanks guys! Marijane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Re: One more ? on trail cams... The wildview wal mart sells is made by moultrie if I am not mistaken. Have heard a lot of bad reviews on those cams. Seems some work ok, some dont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyt03 Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Re: One more ? on trail cams... Huntress, I use a wildview extreme 2.0mp digital cam. You can pick these up on ebay for under 100 and they will do the job for you. The ones at walmart are only the 0.3 mp and take blurry pics w/ no time or date stamp. Get the 2.0 and you will be plenty happy. One thing about the moultrie game spys your looking at is they are about twice the width(from front to back) of the wildview cams and they way they strap to the tree is different. My buddy at work got the moultrie game spy 2.0 at cabelas a few weeks ago for 79.99 on sale. You can prob get them for that price on ebay as well. It looked alot more confusing to set up then my wildview is. So just some things to take into consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Re: One more ? on trail cams... Just remember this on those cams. You get what you pay for. With those cams, seems you might get lucky and get a good one the first time around, you might not. Even if you get a good one, how good on these moultrie cams are the trigger times, how effective is the pir detection range, how strong is the flash, and how reliable in general is the cam going to be. Have read that some of those cams have to be placed so close to the trail due to poor detection range. If you couple that with a weak trigger time you will be missing what is triggering the cam.

Huntress Posted April 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Re: One more ? on trail cams... I understand what you are say wtnhunt, but I am not going to allow my self to spend over $100.00 on a camera. This isn't a required tool for hunting, just something I thought would be fun to have. Thanks for all of the advice. Marijane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyt03 Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Re: One more ? on trail cams... Huntress just got a Cabelas flyer and they have those black moultrie game spy 2.0 mp for 79.99$ I would look into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearClaw Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Re: One more ? on trail cams... I have the Moultrie 2.1 and used it last year just once for a couple of days. (Got it for Christmas). It worked good, the pictures were pretty clear. The trigger is a little slow so corn(where legal) or salt will be needed to slow them down and keep them around for a minute or so. I was able to get a picture of the doe I shot in muzzleloader season minutes before I shot her! True, you get what you pay for but you still have to buy within your bedget! I'd recommend it!

snapper Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 I orginally had the elcheapo Stealth cam that took 35mm film and cost around $59...worked great and really no complaints. Decided to upgrade to digital so I could keep what I wanted and delete what I didn't. Bought a Wildview extreme 3 at Bass Pro for around $120. Takes nice pics. and again (so far) no complaints! I think you can get a lemon no matter how much you spend...I hear just as many complaints about expensive cams as I do about cheap ones!

Guest okla_bowhunter Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 I own two of the moultries, and i have got no complaints. Yeah, they may not be quite as nice as others, but they do good enough for me. I would recommend them also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
