    I have one,and will be putting it out on Monday. It was very east to set up. I will get back to you on how it works once I pull the card in about a week.

    I know DD/MO runs Brownings. Not sure which ones he has though.

    I've run Browning Trail Cameras exclusively for 2 years now and have had nothing but great luck with them. I haven't gotten one of the new Full HD cameras yet so really can't give an opinion on those right now, but based on the success I've had with Browning so far, I suspect they'll be great cameras as well. I have seen video from the Recon Force and the Spec Ops though and it's amazing! You probably know, but the Spec Ops and the Recon Force are the same camera except the Spec Ops has the Invisible Flash. Here are some video clips from those two models....



    Notice the mule deer running on the side of the ridge in the background?

    I have a spec ops...great little camera. I don't use the HD video, but as a camera it takes great photos, and while I don't have the senses of a deer, to me it is the best cam to get back where those bucks are during season...it is silent and makes no flash. A lot of other cameras you can here the mechanical shutter and see the sensor light or something go off. Not this one. So far I'm very happy with mine.

    I don't have one but am considering getting one of these. I have bought quite a few cameras from Trailcampro.com. They do quality reviews of tons of cameras and this one got the third best rating. Only thing I see is battery life being a little short.

    I have not had any issues with battery life in any of my Browning cams including my SPec ops. I use lithiums or these high capacity rechargeables I found at Amazon and they will last all season.

    I run 5 of them and have been extremely pleased with them. Definitely a solid buy!

    I just picked one up last night. It was pretty easy to setup and the pics taken while I set it up of the top of my head looked good!!
