Are there any RELIABLE Trail Cameras...?

[AJMD429]

I've used some 'generic' ones over the years that weren't too bad, although they just didn't have much adjustability. Eventually they quit working but I got two or three seasons from them.

Then I bought a pair of Moultrie ones - one 'regular' and one 'cellular', and the 'regular' one quit working, then the 'cellular' one did.

I would like to have a good cellular-type one, but it seems like everything electronic these days is junk.

I'd be interested in anyone here's experiences.

I'll never get a Moultrie again. best i have are browning. i don't have any cell cams yet.

We’ve gotten a lot of use out of Bushnell cameras in the past. When we decided to try cellular we went with Covert Cameras and they’ve worked well. We’re now running 10 Tactacam Reveal cameras and we’re very pleased with them so far.

Mine are all Stealth cams and I've had pretty good luck with them. I had a couple that were replaced under warranty but have found them to be pretty good to work with. I have 7 out year round.

I have had good luck with Bushnells.

In my experience, StealthCams are good for 3 years (being out year-round) before they die. So far I've had better luck out of the G45NG than the G30 (I've had two G30s die on me this year), and the G45NG takes a darn good picture.

Considering doing cellular cams next year so very interested in people's experiences with those of all makes.

I bought the cuddyback cuddy link system about 4 years ago. I run camera's about 8 months a year.

I started with 10, now I have 6. Cuddyback has been great at taking them back, and making them run for a little while back, but a 40% fail rate in 4 years is a little high for me. In those 4 years I've done 4 warranty claims. I always do onewhen I take the camera's out for a few months. I'm swapping to the tacticam system that Cory mentioned earlier at the end of this season.

I've had good luck with Bushnells also. Did have one die last year that was about 10 years old, but that was operator error and not the camera's fault.

I have used just about all of them and have good luck with wild game cameras and a moultrie camera. Always check the batteries when swapping cards for moisture possibly getting there . I have used same 5 cameras now for 5 years. I don’t leave them out in January to March.

I've had a Bushnell for at least 10 years, still working!
