Default Trail cams

Thinking of using some new trail cams this year. What's y'all's opinions on what's out on the market now?

Hunten makes a pretty affordable and reliable camera

I've heard some good reviews on the Spypoint cameras... I haven't used them yet but they seem pretty reasonably priced and I'll probably pick up a couple of them if I can get on a lease this year... I've always had pretty good luck with the Moultrie cams also... they don't last forever but they do pretty good for a few years.

I've been happy with the Primos Truth Cam line, but I'm sure there are other folks that will say they're junk.

I read bowhunting.com and folks there are always recommending Covert cameras.

I don't know about the newer line, but I have a couple of older WGI cams and they take good pictures, but have a horribly slow trigger.

I've had dozens of cameras from top to bottom. I have 5 right now, 4 different cameras. 2 are the Primos Blackouts, they are awesome! It has no lights at all. Deer have no clue it's there.

Do not have a trail type cam but I have heard about a type that when a pic is taken it will send an text photo or email to your mobile device showing the photo. That would be a cool feature to have.

they all break. with the humidity here dont expect them to last forever. by a mid tier under 200 camera like primos or moultrie. i had best luck with primos 35. they dont take the best photos but you can tell what type of animal it is.

I have a moultrie one like that but never set it up. Ended up returning the modem for it. Too much hassle to set up and they charge you pretty good. But I've only used Moultrie and never spent over $175 on one and haven't had a problem with em.
