Game or Trail Cameras

[bdeboer]

I am looking for a game camera, want infrared. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I did see the positive reviews of the Stealth Cams on some other threads, and wondered about battery life and durability.

Does anyone have experience with the Bushnell Trophy cam?

I have the Stealth Rogue Infared and it is incredible. Great pics. I have 1/2 of the detector blocked due to being too sensitive. Initially it was taking 1600 pics a week -- some 1/3 mile away as cars went down a road. It now takes approx 100 pics a week. The C batteries will only take 800 or so pics. Mine now runs off a 12v lawn mower battery that I charge every 4 months at most. Very cheap to operate!

Thanks, where did you get the Solar Charger?

Purchase charger at local solar store etc.

Guessing you could purchase any solar charger online.

I got one for Christmas. I has been working on one set of AA's since. Worked in the cold and snow. Pictures were good. I have not tried the video.

It is the Bushnell Trophy Cam Trail Camera 5 Mega pixel. Still learning how to use it but pleased so far.
