shaunandjulie Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 I'm wanting to buy another trail camera. I have an old StealthCam that takes the 35mm film and a Wildview 5.0. I don't really care for the picture quality of the Wildview, my older StealthCam takes much better pictures. What brand do you guys suggest? I want one that takes good day and night pictures, preferably IR. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoods07 Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Stay away from Wildview. I would've recommended Moultrie about two weeks ago, but we had a couple newer Moultrie's go down. The only cam we've never had a problem with is our Cudde. If you want to spend the money, that's the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbahunter Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 As far as trail camera’s go, I own three different types: Cabela’s Outfitter with view finder – This is a good camera, but it fails to keep the correct time and date and the battery life is not as good as I would like. This is a flash type camera cost was $200.00 on sale and uses 6 D batteries. Bushnell Trophy Cam – this a neet little camera only 4X6 inches and runs off 8 AA Lithium batteries they claim that a set of these batteries will last 1 year. The camera takes good pictures in daylight but the night IR pictures are a little dark. Cost of this unit was $229.00. Moultrie I50 – I think this is the best of the bunch takes great pictures in daylight and the nighttime IR pictures are not to bad. Battery life is GREAT put this camera out in early August and still showing 65% battery life after LOTS of pictures. The only down side with this camera is that it needs a lot of daylight or you get the black and white IR pictures, but over all this camera is my favorite. I have had a Cuddy Back Excite and it only worked for about 2 months then failed and all that I have read about the new Capture cameras are not really positive. For my money the Moultire I50 is the best choice. Good Luck, Dennis PS - If the attached picture is visible this came from the Moultire I50.

Strut10 Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 I've become a huge Cuddeback fan. Got mine first of August. Going to order another one today, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PremiumBeef Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 The moultrie IR cameras are the best I have dealt with. They have great battery life, and as far as mechanical problems with the cameras they back them up. I had a display going out on a camera about 3 weeks ago, so I sent it back and recieved a brand new camera within 2 weeks. Pretty good cameras and great customer service.

bucknut Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 If you dont mind paying for it than get a Reconyx.. best camera out there for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunandjulie Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Yeah the moultrie and the bushnell were two of the three I was considering, as well as the stealthcam sniper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muleyman Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I would say absolutely no doubt the moultrie d40. It has flash but to me I find that flash doesn't scare the deer away. I have had nothing but good things to say about my moultrie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Using homebrews here. Last one I built below. Guess for the money if I were going to buy one I would look closely at the wildgame innovations cams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesir, Cuddeback Capture is the best out there IMO. Not sure how you can beat it! $175 shipped is a great price to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I like my Moultrie 3.1mp. Ive had it for about 3 years now. Only had one problem with it, where the display screen crapped out. Called moultrie, mailed it to them and they shipped me a brand new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunandjulie Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Oops I put Wildview in the original message, I meant Wildgame Innovations, sorry. To me this is a terrible camera, its really bad on battery life and takes bad night pictures. I like my older stealthcam thats like a 2002 model way better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaDeerHunter Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Who's doing them for $175 shipped???? I had gotten some at that price but sold them all.....I am working on getting some more. (Buddy is a dealer ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwana72 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I hate to say negative things about them but I have had problems with Cuddebacks. Problems with 2 different cameras and problems with customer service getting them fixed. I now own a few Moultrie 5.0 cameras and have nothing but good things to say about them. Great pics, both day and night. And I have three of them out right now that have been in the field for 4 months now and they still have nearly 70% battery life. I will add a couple more Moultrie's to my "arsenal" next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
