    Help looking for new Trail Cam please

    Looking for a trail cam. Never owned one before but just joined a new private lease and wanna see what's out there... Everyone I've seen on the Cabela's site had some type of negative review on it.. Not looking for to expensive, but not $50 either. Between $100-$200 unless yall suggest something better

    I have tried several over the years bought a bushnell 2yrs ago then went back and bought 3 more, these are great cameras and long battery life which is a must. Do not waste your money on the cheaper cameras or you will regret it I promise!

    Im kinda keen on the wildgame innovations cameras. The ones I have take outstanding pictures though the night time infared pics are are best at closer distances than say a cuddeback..for 100 bucks I thought they were a steal. Compared to a $200 cam..

    ive got a Moultrie I 40 that works just fine..certainly not top of the line, but gets some good shots...cuddeback is probably the 'gold standard', but theyre pricey...

    I just ordered a Moultrie D55ir yesterday - should be here Monday. It's a 5mp with infrared flash that is suppose to reach out 50ft.
    Got it and a 4gb card for $136

    I'll report back my findings if you havent already bought one by next week

    I like the Moultrie brand the best, I have 6 55 IRs, and 2 65 IR, and all the Moultries have Solar panel on them and they work really well
    Have a few Cudde Backs and like them also.

    ive been through alot of cameras in the past 5 years ive had cuddie back ir's moultrie d50's ive even had some wildgame innovations ( which dont last by the way we went through 9 of them out on our lease last year) thats because my cuddie backs grew legs and walked off,, IMOP the best cam for the money is probably the primos truth cam 35 i now own 6 currently and they are on sale most of the time for $$79.00
    Thanks and shoot straight

    Thanks for all the input guys, went to Cabelas' yesterday and picked up the Moutrie D-65 IR. Since its my first cam, I didnt want to go to overboard. Spoke with a lot of people who had Moultrie's and no complaints other then blurry night time shot every NOW and then. I had it in mind and asked the guy at Cabelas what he sells the most of, he said Moultrie or Cuddyback. He said he had the D-55IR and loved it and had several of them. Kinda helped me make my mind up. Now I have to wait for my memory card to come in. Cabelas had 4 gb cards for 30.00 when Newegg.com had 16 gb cards for 21.00 with .99 shipping. , so I cant wait to get it out in the field and show some pics...
