Low cost trail cams

Looking for low cost trail cams, 125.00 max due to budget. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

 

I buy the Moultrie for that same reason. They do ok. I have only spent $70 to $90. Some of the more expensive cams do have better quality pictures.

 

How is the battery life on them?

 

Occasionally you'll find some refurbished Coverts or a sale-nice pics, good battery life.

Cheap moultrie refurbished cams are usually available here, your mileage may vary: http://www.moultriefeeders.com/specials

either covert mpe5 or mp6 are great low priced cams

 

Covert MPE-5 MP6(2013) or MP8

 

I just ordered a Covert mp8 black flash on Amazon for $129.

Correction, I just ordered a second one, regular price is like $159 most everywhere else. Same as the last mp6 except 40 leds instead of 28...unless some data I have is wrong.

So the flash range should be better than the mp6 black.

 

I added a refurbished Moultire D-55 for 29.99 a couple weeks ago. Have had one in the field for 3 years with 0 issues.

 

Moultrie cams are awesome and they have many different models for under $130. I like the M-80XT (which is an older camera) and the M-880 and M-880i

 

Eder's has a Stealth Cam G30 for $104 and G42NGs for $128!

GSM Stealth Cam G Series - G30 w/Triad, 8.0 MP, Infrared :: GSM :: Game Cameras :: Game Monitoring & Surveillance :: Hunting :: eders - Archery Equipment Bowhunting Equipment

GSM Stealth Cam G Series - G42NG w/Triad, 10.0 MP, Black IR :: GSM :: Game Cameras :: Game Monitoring & Surveillance :: Hunting :: eders - Archery Equipment Bowhunting Equipment

I'd choose either one of these

 

Check out this deal, me and my brother have several of these cameras and they do really well, and this is a great price! http://www.wingsupply.com/game-cameras-accessories/dlc-covert-mp6-ir-scouting-trail-camera/
You can also get the black flash for $115 which IMO is worth the extra $15 dollars

^^ great deal

 

I have had my cameras out for six weeks and my batteries are any where from 80 to 90%

 

That G42 is a great price.

^what he said^

 

Thanks to all you guys. Great info and if i cant pick one or two from all your input, i don't need one. Lol. Stay safe, shoot straight but most of all God Bless you all.

 

Get a covert. The mpe5 is a ridiculous little camera for the price. I've ran quite a few cams in the last four years and nothing, I mean nothing even holds a candle to them in terms of pic quality, trigger, and especially battery life. I've got a red 40 in the woods that is still on the original set of cheap-o dollar general batteries since January with thousands of pictures taken. It's likely I'll never run another camera brand besides coverts.

 

We just picked up a Moultrie this weekend for $79.99 at Dunhams Sports Store. I also picked up another Wildgame Innovations camera. I like the Wildgame ones because of the price and ease of using them.

If you have a Dunhams - they have a 20% off coupon online!

 

Cuddeback is what I use and have great luck with. Use to use moultree. Good cameras but trigger speed is pretty slow and miss a lot of heads.

Don't get a wildgame innovations. Had one for one season and it stopped working. Just reached out to them about a replacement and they said I have to have a receipt to make sure its under warranty. Had it out for maybe 3 months tops and batteries compartment is corroded and it won't turn on. Don't buy a WILDGAME INNOVATIONS!!
