GAME CAM, anybody got suggestions on a good model?

Had a Moultrie and it lasted just about 13 months and I hardly ever used it. Was well cared for and now it's kuput. Their customer service sucks. I'm in the market for a new one. Don't want to break the bank but would be nice to have one that worked like a tool.. you know, treat it right and it lasts for a while. (and not a Harbor Freight tool, like the Moultrie)

I like "Wild Game Innovations" cams. They run about $45.00 and picture quality is outstanding. Walmart has them for $45 right now! I just looked at them! I own 4 and really like them!

good suggestion, certainly my price range. I need one that does infra red that's not visible.

I bought a stealthcam it's been awesome it's infrared it was like 80 bucks 2 years ago.

In my experience with game cams, you get what you pay for.  I had a cheap moultrie and it was absolutely worthless.  I now have Bushnell's and have been extremely pleased.

Depends on how much you want to spend. Check out www.chasinggame.com for independent reviews on most trail cameras.

Tsc has one on sale for $99 with infrared.

Another vote for the Wild Game Innovations from what I've seen so far from the one I have. The night time distance isn't as good as some of my other cameras, but the quality of the pictures and videos is just as good if not better at a fraction of the price. Plus after having one of the more expensive cameras stolen a while back I decided I would only buy fairly cheap cameras from here on out. I'm working on trying several different ones, and so far this one is the best. Definitely not a big fan of the cheaper Moultrie cameras.

A word of advice on cameras; mark your camera on the front in plain view with a white paint pen as in the following;

 

TWRA   #

123456789 (use your own TWRA number here).

 

You are marking it just like you would a trotline or jugs. It is really good at deterring a lowlife from taking your cameras. It shows legal ownership of the camera and most thieves won't fool with it.
