I've bought a couple trail cameras, and they have all been wildgame innovations. They were cheap, and they work, but honestly they haven't been the greatest... when I go and check them I get pictures of a buck or two or a doe or two, and only a couple pictures when I know there are trail cameras out there that will take much more pictures and not take a minute to take another one. Basically I know that my wildgame innovation trail cameras are definitely not the fastest at taking pictures and never take a majority of pictures, just one or two, and I know animals give them time to take more that just one picture. Does anybody know of any good trail cameras that are cheap?

Gotta agree with Moultries, got a few A-5s, but gonna buy a A5 gen2 at Academy sports, on sale for $39.99. You will get 8-9 months out of 4 c battery's on the A-5 so I'm hoping the new one will get the same or better.

bushnell trophy cams are OK, some last a couple years or so.

primos are junk in my experience.

I run wildgame cams and buddy has all primos cams. Been 5 years on a few of the older ones and out of 6 cams only one doesn't work i have no complaints on either brand. Both are cheap and I ain't got the money for a $100+ trail cam that ain't no different than a lot of the cheap oned

IMO, just like with anything else, it could be hit or miss with any product and their quality...

I would think that putting a bird house like set-up without the front (just top and sides) might help keep some of the elements off the camera thereby increasing its life and maybe help with taking better pictures...

The best cameras at the best value in my opinion are the Coverts. Stick to the lower end, M8s for about 109. Great little camera with a crazy battery life. They also include a viewer built in to the camera. Its all we use.
