Does anyone have any experience with game cameras? If so, input would be appreciated. Thank you

Not familiar with the term "game camera". Do you mean for outdoor concealed shooting, or for rapid-fire shooting, or something else?

I should have written Game/trail cameras. They take photos of animals that pass by the lens during day or night.

Don't use them myself but I have a number of friends that use them here in Tennessee to track deer and turkey and they seem to work quite well. There are a number of different models might want to Google trail cams to see what's available.

I had a nice one, till someone decided they wanted it worse, than I did.

I did google them. Can't make up my mind. I was hoping a member had some experience with them.

I have a fair amount of experience with them. What would you like to know...different brands?

Thank you for responding. I like the black op models, no flash. Read up on Browning Strike Force, sounds good. I know no one who has a game camera to see the results.

First of all, I had not heard of this one. (It seems like everyone is getting into making a game camera these days.)
I read some reviews and I would buy this without hesitation. One thing that bothers me is that it only takes 6AA batteries. But they say it can take 10,000 pics on them, so that's pretty good. Definitely go for the IR...you don't want flash if you don't have to have it. From what I read, it has all that you need and then some. It does not have a viewing window but to me, they are just a waste anyway. Usually out in the field, the sun makes it too hard to see what is on that. I have that on a couple of my Moultries and never use it.
We have sold Moultrie in our store and I will not recommend that one to anyone at this point. Always sending them in because you can't read what the digital window says anymore, I could go on.
Yes..I would buy this and try it.
Good luck and I'd like to hear what you think of it after using it.

Just go to Bass Pro Shop, Cabelas, etc, they have plenty to choose from. Just like anything else, the more bells and whistles, the more it cost. Today's trail cameras, are leaps above, the ones like I had, just a couple years ago.

I had a Moultrie. Cost was $85 from Academe outdoors. Worked great until it sprouted legs and walked.
Do not spend any more than you are willing to loose. I had mine maybe a year and a half.

I used my Canon 110 ELF for viewing the photos in the field. Worked great.

Whatever kind ya get, get a security cable of some kind. I didn't think I needed it, on family property.

I was a middle of a 2000 acre property.
They are developing an oil field on that property. Over 18 wells and counting. Too many people with access to control things.
