I just bought my son a Trail Camera as one of his 15th birthday presents.  Saturday the 23rd was his Birthday and we put the camera out that night, as we were camping at our conservation club. Sunday morning he checked the camera after squirrell hunting. He had 94 pictures on it! Here are a few....       Those trail cameras are really neat! |

Nice work on the gift that keeps on giving! Ditto. Camby, I bought the same camera at Dick's. One thing I have found out about it is that it has a fairly slow shutter speed. Pointing it at bait or up and down a deer run it will be OK. Trying to catch a deer with the camera pointed directly at a right angle to deer run might miss the deer. Just a heads up... Enjoy.... |

I have two of those cams. I just picked up another one at Wal-Mart. Had them on clearance for $35. My first one is 3 years old and still going.  on what Woody said. They don't work well unless they're pointed on catching the deer coming to or going from the camera. . |

Hoosier Hunter,
What kind of battery life do you get out of them?

Hoosier Hunter, What kind of battery life do you get out of them? During the warm months I'll get several weeks/hundreds of photos on a set of batteries. Once it gets sub-freezing day and night I'll be lucky to get a week. This is the 3rd week on my brand new camera and I'm still on the first set of Duracells. I keep my cameras set on "Hi-RES" and "1 Minute" |

I wish this had the time/date stamp on the picture. But for that price I can live without it.

I actually paid 49.00 and then there is a 10.00 rebate that I have not even looked into yet. That would make the final cost 39.00.....an excellent deal! Josh also got a half dozen carbon arrows and a camo shirt (scent blocker).....and a weekend camping/hunting/riding trip for him and his buddy (Kyle)......and Kyle rolled my ATV!  He didn't get hurt (THANKFULLY) but it did bend the back rack and handlebars. They were comming down a pretty steep hill and knocked the right front tire off it's bead causing the ATV to flip. he jumped off and escaped injury. |

Camby,
Dick's had them on sale this past week for $39 and then had a $10 mail in rebate on top of that. Final cost was $29.
I had a $10 Scorecard coupon so mine cost me $19.

Not meaning to spoil the birthday present. But I got the same camera for my 13th b-day and it stopprd working that winter. I think it might have been one of the icestorms we had that year. But it still shouldn't of quit. I sure got some great pics with it. Happy b-day!
