Trail Cam Suggestions

[bigbearguy]

I am new to this trail cam thing, so new I have yet to purchase one, but plan on it in the next few weeks. I don't want to spend a lot of money on something that could get stolen or destroyed by a bear. I was looking at cabelas and found this camera . It seemed like a pretty good price to me. Any other suggestions in the $150 range? Any suggestions on keeping the bears from destroying them?

Thanks for any help.

Nice cam for that price! Let us see the pics when you get some! Maybe spray the tree and parts of the cam with some scent killer type spray, not the front of the cam though! Take no food into the area as well. While your at it use the scent killer on yourself! Sorry I cant offer anything else!

Check out the Sportsman's Guide. They have a Guide Gear digital camera for around $150. I've picked up one and it works great! I have found nothing that would deter me from buying another from them.

hey that looks like a great deal on a scouting camera
4.1 mega pixel for 150 bucks \, looks good but i dont know much about those cameras, they make a bear box for my cuddeback so im sure you could make one for your camera you buy or take it to a fabrication shop im sure they could make something for it, i dont have bear problems where i use my cameras so im not real sure but sent killer would be a must im sure

Get a bear proof box. I kind of like the leaf river digitals. You might want to check with ktmmike, think he can get pretty good deals on cuddeback and leaf river cams.

that camera is the newest from moultrie.. i have the 1.3 gamepsy.. last winter in january in about 5 days it took almost 150 pictures.. mostly at night.. lasted all the way till about 5 hours before i came to pick it up... i havent had any problems with it yet.. im planning on probably picking one of those 4.1mp cameras.. they look sweet.. maybe u should wait also moultrie is making a new IR camera.. color day and night.. so far this camera is good.. good luck... btw i payed 189.99 cdn for this last december and this is only a 1.3mp.. this is a steal really
