    A LOT more typing from you and still no pics. The only thing you are the best at is patting yourself on the back with nothing to show. I will post one of my personal pics up against one of yours and we will let the members here vote. You better start searching the web though so maybe you can try and find a pic to compete.

    Way to state a fact in a pure opinion form. Covert has treated me great, and I see pictures from Covert on a weekly (sometimes daily) basis. Goes a long way in building a following due to the ability to judge the product for yourself constantly. I'd probably be lying if I said I bought my first couple Coverts without that impacting my decision. Start posting camera pulls for members to judge for themselves, will go much longer than "statements" and "opinions".

    Everyone always bashes Cuddebacks, but I have had 3 of the captures, and they were awesome cameras. In my opinion, hte Capture takes the best pictures for a store bought camera, by far. The only cams that take better pics is a Homebrew. And this is the reason I no longer have my captures, I sold them to start building my own. That being said, I am now a Covert only fan! I have an MP6, and a red 40, and love them both.

    I own a reconyx hc500 and the little acorn 5210a and these are both great cams, with that being said I love my red 40 and just ordered another from Tom Lester at monsterraxx. Awesome cams and the best on the market. The performance to price ratio is outstanding. Coverts for me from know on. Scoot

    Almost every picture of Scoutguard/Bolyguard is good. Any one who wants to see picture samples by the real end user, but not a salesman, please just do the following google search:
    (on Google bar): " Scoutguard picture sample"

    scoutguard pictures are full of the web space. here is just sampes of search results links:

    Now that's a little more like it. What's a price breakdown of them? I won't say I'm seeing anything that blows me out of the water but they do take solid pictures...however if I can get the same quality from a more affordable camera I'll do it. Thanks in advance.

    Just to clarify I was a member here posting pictures long before I was hired on at DLC Covert in fact my pictures had a lot to do with me getting the job. You will also notice I try to comment on every post with any brand of trail camera photos as most of the members here I also call my friends. Feel free to take a look around the other sub-forums on this site as I am also active there. Not only am I an end user but also a trail camera addict.

    I dont have a problem with you saying you think your cameras are the best. The original poster asked what everyone's opinions are on the best trail camera. Everyone said what they believed but you try and make it a fact that you are right and no one else'e opinion matters. So you dont like that I sell them I dont care but HERE IS A FACT I SHARE MY PERSONAL PICS ON HERE SHOWING WHY I BELIEVE THEY ARE THE BEST...I DONT HAVE TO TELL SOMEONE TO LOOK UP A LINK ON THE WEB TO SEE SOMEONE ELSE'S PICS!!! PLUS YOU KNOW YOU WOULD LOSE SO AS USUAL NO PIC FROM YOU.

    I'm a Reconyx guy. I own 3 of them. The 1st 2 Reconyx camera's I bought (RC60's) are my favorites by far of all the trail cams I've owned. The 3rd Reconyx I own Is the HC600. I'm not as much Impressed with that as my other Reconyx cams. I also own 2 bushnell HD's. The pictures and video's to me are one of the best. The video's to me are the best IMO while comparing to others. In saying that about the bushnells I know they've missed deer and bear so there's a good chance I'll never own another bushnell cam unless they give me a new one free of charge after hearing my opinion on them. I don't own a covert but my brother has a few of them. The covert II has been the most consistent. The other coverts he owns have not been as consistent. In saying that I think Coverts are a great cam with outstanding customer service and one I'll own some day.

    I currently own Cuddeback, Moultrie and Covert cameras.

    My Moultrie i40, M-80 are very reliable cameras. They dont miss anything, and take good pictures day and night, with good battery life. They do have some motion blur and the i40 has an audible clunk from the lense. Here are some example pictures:

    In also running a D55IRXT Moultrie cam. So far battery life is good, sensitivity is good, but picture quality leaves a little to be desired.

    **EDIT** I was going to get on the laptop and post some more pictures but the website is down...so..

    I also have a Cuddeback Capture. Besides getting a leak in the seal, it has been a VERY solid camera for me. Instant trigger time, very clear day and night photos (a little daytime blur) and good battery life. The only downside is a very narrow sensing cone, so you have to be very precise with the aiming.

    Im also running a Covert Red40 and Mp6 this year. So far, so good on them.

    I been on trail cam forums and owned cameras since 2006 and my moultrie (i40/m80) have and still are good to me. That all changed when I got a Covert Black 60. Here on out I will be getting more coverts.

    The thing with coverts not only they take good pictures day/night, but the trigger speed is good, sensing is great and the battery life is great. I like the support group so to speak they have on the forums. Never seen a company this active online.

    So far i really like what i have gotten out of Covert. And thats not drinking the Kool-aid, i was a Cuddeback guy just like Pat for the longest time. I also owned a wide variety of Stealth Cam's, but they are JUNK. DO NOT BUY. Take it from the guy whos owned like 6 different models and doesnt currently have one.

    Covert>Cuddeback>Moultrie>>>>>>>>>>>>>Stealth.

    I've owned Stealth, Moultrie, Cuddeback and Bushnell.

    Of them all, the Bushnell Trophy Cam has been the best.

    The Stealth eats batteries at an alarming rate, and love to take pictures of waving limbs and grass, filling my card with a bunch of nonsense pictures of nothing.

    The Moultrie lasted for years, an old flash type cam. It too ate batteries.


    I returned the Cuddeback, it just wouldn't stay set.


    I wish I could afford a Reconyx, everything I read about them has been positive.


    I will take a look at the Covert cams, never used one, and not many places around here carry them.
