    I think it's time for new cameras. We have 10 cameras which have been running for the last month and have only 20 pics....
    All of the cameras are on food plots or trails leading to the plots. We use cuddle back which have been golden to us but lately we've been having issues.
    No photos, black images, delay malfunctions, killing batteries, ect.
    Any thoughts on some good choices.
    Price range of $200 or less.
    Thank you!
    DS

    I had to get new camera's when it got hard and too expensive to get 35mm film. I got cheap wildgame camera's. I've not had an issue with them. I'm sure people have their own opinion on which ones are best.

    I find the $40 wildgame Innovations axe5 at Di cks sporting goods does the trick. Some guys will argue but it gets me what I need and I can get over a stolen $40 camera much quicker then a $150 one.

    I would suggest doing what I'm doing right now which is waiting to see what emerges from the ATA show. I'm waiting to determine what to get from the new 2016 line and I hope this also mean the 2015 products continue to take a dip in price.

    I have the same idea but with bows. I need a new bow and want to at least save a few bucks.

    You might want to look at the Browning cams. I like my btc-7 and 8's. Also the Stealth G42 is a good cam for a little over $100. I've heard good and bad things about their GX45NG.

    If I had to recommend one camera it would be the Covert MP6. That little camera takes great pics and the batteries last forever. I get about 20,00 pics out of one set of batteries. I have one setup at Property#2 and it takes 1500 pics every 7 days! I think it is the best Trail camera Covert has ever made. Wing Supply has them for $84.99

    These pics was taken with the MP6 IR. The first one is my All-Time Favorite pic and sold me on their cameras.

    Thanks bro. Looks like the buck in the second pic made it through the hunting season. Can't wait to see what he is going to look like this year!

    My buddy had his old cuddle backs go out. He contacted them, sent in the old cameras. Cuddle back then sold him new cameras for 100$. Might be worth a phone call.
