I read a few places to try this, ill give it a go. Do you seem to get many deer ever looking at your cams? With my no glows i rarely do and i think when i do its only coincidence.
What is your favorite trail camera?

Any experience with the Recon Force Extreme or the Spec Ops Extreme? When i looked up the recon force they popped up and looks like they may be more of what im looking for.

I have only used the Recon Force, Strike Force and Range Ops (junk). I picked up 2 Dark Ops and deployed one yesterday. No experience with the Extreme Models.
In a previous thread, I did a little study/trial on this. I stand on front of 4 wheeler. My cams are 8-11ft up. Had like 1200 pics before a deer was looking at the cam. Trespasser pics went up too.

I always mount my cams about 8 - 10 feet up and angle down. It's quite rare that deer look at it, and they don't spook.
I've sent back all three of my Bushnells for warranty work. As well as my Browning. With that being said, I still love the Bushnell cameras. I'm running Aggressors, and the trigger speed and picture quality is great. Two of the three are black flash and one is red. The Browning was boogered up pretty much from day one, but I ordered it through trailcampro.com, so it had a two year warranty and they replaced it no questions asked.
I don't think there is a sub $200 camera out there that you won't have problems with at some point. Just the nature of the beast.
I ended up ordering a browning spec ops extreme from trail camera pro. I decided I might as well go with another no glow camera because there is no wandering if an animal or human will see the glow.
I still need to get a couple cheap cameras for running on other farms where they may get stolen. Whats a decent camera for under 100 that you guys have had success with?

I have Brownings and love them... They are about 4-5 years old and still taking great pics... Not sure of the model number though and I can't check as they are all out on trees now... But at the time they were the cheaper of the Brownings... I just ordered 2 Moultrie A-30I no glow cameras for $79.00 each.. They have great reviews on Trailcam Pro and other sources... Here are pics of bears from last year with a Browning that has taken thousands of pics of bears and is several years old... Not bad for a camera under $100.
Yea thats not bad at all! Let me know what you think of the moultries after you try them out. Thats the cheapest no glow ive heard of so far.
I grabbed one of them Moultrie a-30I cameras at Walmart yesterday and they had Primos Bullet Proof cameras on sale for 13 a piece so i grabbed 4 of them to just to keep on my land in PA. I dont think they will be very good cameras but for 13 bucks a piece as long as they take pictures for a couple months on a set of batteries ill be happy.

Soon as I get my Moultrie A-30I 's I'll put one out here in my bear spot, the other is going to Illinois in late August to be put over a community scrape that's under my tree... I'll pull the Browning that's been then since March... Good Liuck with the cameras you picked up, we'll do a review of them when we start getting pics...
I put my cameras out all around the field beside my house just to get some pictures and see how good they work. They all surprised me so far, now time will tell how good they are. The moultrie takes really good pictures for all the more it cost, i may have to get another one of them.
That deer is confused! It doesn't know what it wants to be when he grows up.
For cams under $100 it's hard to beat the cabelas, in store, bargain cave.
