I decided that I need a game camera this year. Even though I have already put down a doe, my buddies place has 2 good spots to hunt from and only one game cam. Recently he spotted some nice legal bucks bearing 10-12 points, thanks to the camera. Just before the season started, we were consistently seeing a small family group with a few does and a fawn or two. Now that there are a couple of good sized bucks around, we are excited about the chance to bag one.
It seems just a few years ago, there were only a handful of gamecams around, all at pretty high prices. Now that prices have come back down to earth, I am looking to buy. My budget is about $120 and I already have an SD card and I'm not worried about the batteries. However, are all game cams equal ? I have been eyeballing the Moultrie low glow 5.0mp cam as well as the browning range ops 6.0mp. I don't think 1 mp will make all that much of a difference. Unfortunately, I have zero knowledge in this department but would like to know which brands to avoid and which models are best suited for my price range. Anyhow, if anyone out there has some advice or experience, post it here.
