Your right on track...>Browning's for the money, and customer service they have are just plain hard to beat.....I run the Strike Force Elite and HD...... Creeks!
I would have to say covert is the way the to go. I hunt in northern Wisconsin and I run cameras from July till December and I changed the batteries once durning that time. I probably didn't have to change them either but just wanted to make sure they wouldn't die.
I'm going to try some brownings. Bought 4 g30's last season and got ALOT of delayed trigger pics. Not saying I'm completely unsatisfied, still gonna use them. Guess I can't complain too hard for $91 a pop
