Trail Cameras

[SNovaTac]

So my father recently purchased some property in Northeast Pennsylvania about an hour away from where my parents live. Anyway, because he isn't able to be up there as much as he'd like at this point, I think he'd be very interested in putting a trail camera up there to see what kind of wildlife is running around. We already accidentally flushed out some pheasants, so that was pretty exciting. I was wondering if you guys could recommend a quality trail camera to put up there or let me know what features are important for a trail camera to have. I was looking at the 2011 Bushnell Trophy Cam, but would appreciate your input! Thanks.

stay away from bushnell tasco wildgame.

if you have the money get RECONYX

on a budget allot of people like moultrie from my experience they take good pics. slow trigger speed and not the most reliable (for me).
I have had excellent luck with HCO Scoutguard

seriously look at something with excellent battery life since you are not going to drive an hour each way once a week to change the battery.

Also don't get caught up in the MP hype, 2mp is more than enough.

For me this is how i pick a cam.
1 trigger speed
2 battery life
3 warranty (reliability)
4 Flash/IR range

also consider how you will be using it if over a feeder you no not need the fastest cam if on a game trail you need a fast trigger.

check out http://www.chasingame.com/ there are some really good reviews

Close your eyes, spin in circle three times, open your eyes and buy the one you landed on. They all have some issue. Let your budget do the talking.
