I second the Moultrie I4.0 its been in the woods sinc August and I finally had to replace the batteries even when they were still at 40%. Hands down a great camera and I might even invest in the 4.0 flash for specific trails that I have to get images of.

Thats a 35mm cam.

Is that a bad thing or just not as convienent as the digital ones? Would the picture quality be the same?

Yeah - I love my Scoutguards that I just got this year. Here are some videos from the area I hunt:

DSpohn,

35mm falls short in one main area. You are limited to the roll of film. You can end up with a LOT of pics on a roll of film that are nothing. And once the roll is used up, you are done. At least with digital, you can salvage some pics because the memory cards can hold hundreds of pics.

Pic quality isnt so bad. There are digitals that are flat out poor quality.

I started with cams like that one, so I am not saying they are all bad, but digitals have come down so much, its not worth your time for 35mm cams.

well i ended up buying it, i have a 4 yr warranty on it so ill try it out,devolpe the film and see what i get, if its not so good ill probably return it and save up for a better one. i just could resist getting any trail cam for $20.

I have 4 35mm stealcams I threw in a box that I couldn't give away this year. I plan to list them on [YouNeedAuthorization]. They usually bring around 5 or 10 used on [YouNeedAuthorization].

Boy they sure have this site commercialized. I guess it's all about money on here. I'm surprised you can mention trail cam names without getting blipped. I'll try it this way E b a y.

did you ever use them? Where they worth it or not.

I was using them, but found that the expense of buying and then having to process the film added up to fast. I am partly at fault as I like the one hour photo so I can see what's on them. It was way cheaper to buy the digital cameras. I use them enough that it saves me the price of the camera in processing easily each year. In addition, it sometimes takes a long time to fill a film roll and I don't have the patience to wait for 36 photos or whatever size you get to finish off so I found myself wasting pricey film. Either way rechargeable batteries are a must.

amen to the rechargeable batteries. im currently running two wildview extreme 3's and a moultrie(forgot what model moultrie). the only downside to the wildviews is that they have a junky flash but they work great over a salt lick in the summer or pointing parrellel down a trail. the moultrie has a great flash and awesome battery life, but there has been more then one occasion were it didnt take any pics even though i no there were deer in front of it. if you've been hunting the same land for many years trail cams are just for fun. but i move around alot bowhunting public land and trail cams are a must if hunting a new spot. i usually find a new spot early spring shed hunting and then set up a cam during the summer. if i dont get a picture of a nice buck in the area, then i consider it a waste of time and move to a different spot.

I just went yesterday to grab my T-Cam, I've had it out every day since Bow opener, I figured by now my batteries would be low, walked up to it and it read 71 %. Checked out the photo's and took it in for the year. So 3 months and a month of cold weather, couldn't be happier about that. I have that 229.00 Moultree that Cabela's had on sale forever. Go with whatever you wish, hope yours is a winner, from what I see on the trail cam photo's most of them seem to perform well.

3 months of pics - any to post? I've heard great things about both the Scout Guard & Reconyx trail cams. I've only used Cuddeback No Flash cams and although they're not bad, I think there are better models available. One thing is for certain, no matter which model you choose, you'll most likely want another one. They're a fun toy.

Stick and string I'm not very computer savy, but what is the route to go on for posting pics, I'd love to, but this isn't the computer I have them on and the one they are on I don't have it connected to the net ? Any theories ?
