I've always had good luck with cuddyback captures.
Moultries are good on a salt block or corn pile. I would'nt put one on a trail. And predator makes a good cam as well. They cost a little more but you can put them on video or have them take a pic every 10 seconds. That's the cam I like the most.
I have the Bushnell ; Trophy XLTI have only had it since may and its my first. Its IR range is between 36-45 ft.
Max-8 mega pix.
will hold up to a 16GB SD card.
can run on 4 AA but holds 8 AA battery's ( still on the ones I put in it 5-1-10)
Happy w/ trigger time
Trigger interval-1-60 second
Day and night stills are good as far as I'm concerned but the movie mode is so-so. Kinda grainy but haven't tried maxing it out yet.
Had some trouble attaching but here is a night shot
a day shot of some turks
and some yearlings 2 buttons and a doe playing or play sparing?!- I don't know.
If you want more or different, let me know.

For a cheap cam I'm using the Moultrie D40 - takes good pics and easy to use but I wish they were IR - they do tend to use alot of battery but they've done well for my needs
Yes but it still looks a lot grainier than it should...
The 8 MP photo's look really crisp but its lost somewhere between me and you.
I'll go the other way later today.

I'll say!
That was one of the features they were promoting when I got it. Its been running since May day and night, thousands of Pict's so far. (plus 5 days of movies) I have it set so when the movement triggers it, it takes 2 Pict's. 1 second apart then wait 10 seconds... maybe its 30 seconds and then the 2 shots again and so on. I believe it still has 3/4 battery life left.
i just checked prices on em , i do believe there is a few of em in my future just trying to decide on 5 mgp or 8 mgp
e bay has a butt load of 5 mgp right now for like 50 bucks a piece i thaught about a few of them for public land, i use that up every weekend shooting clays and stuff , plus if a few sticky finger may get a hold of them and im only out 50 bucks , but for the properties where i know no one will mess with them i thaught about 8 mgp , this trail cam thing has gotten into my blood big time, then later on down the road i could drop a few bucks into a buckeye cam , or just stick with the bushnell 8 mgp in my all honest opinion i like the bushnell 8 mgp pics over the buckeye cam , sorry no offense jesse
