    You'll get it a lot, and there are reasons for it. Covert is my only camera I'll spend money on any more. If I were to recommend the best bang for the buck is the MP6, if you are fine with spending more and want great quality GET THE RED40!

    I ran the bushnell trophy cams for a while until I found out I can get the same quality pics from the 100 bushnell cam from walmart. I run those and covert mp6's now

    I like Wilgame N2 from Menards for $39.99 for the price. I can try to include pics this weekend when I check it. I don't like Cuddebacks my uncle runs those. I also have a white flash covert that I like. I will be picking up either a red 40 or mp6 this winter.

    Dont forget to use coupon code "Dhnet" if you order through wingsupply.

    The Covert MP6 is a very nice camera IMO.

    Those would be great as well. I've wasted money on cameras over the years. Some may not believe it, but the best I have bought is Wildgame Red 6. Then the Covert's here lately. Covert is just unreal IMO. Very good quality. The worst I have bought has been Stealth Cam.

    The new Primos Truth Cam Ultra 35, in general the whole line of Primos cameras. I have had fantastic battery life out of them and I love the picture quality. Fast trigger speed you cant beat the primos trail cameras. Very affordably priced I am 15 and that's all I run is primos. I get payed 100 a week for helping strip tobacco and this year I bought 2 new primos trail cameras and I love them. Don't just settle for Covert try a Primos.

    Lol, don't settle for Covert? I have 5 Primos cameras and 10 Covert cameras, that should tell you something right there. The Primos cameras are terrible compared to my Coverts. I literally have 3 Primos cameras that have not been in the woods for over a year because I was tired of dealing with them.

    Not going to turn this into a Primos battle as I never owned one(or ever will), but listening to the guy at work complain about the run around from Bushnell owns Primos he is getting trying to get his fixed doesnt sit well with me. Been three weeks as of last week, I should ask him again :rant:. I seen enough pictures and reviews on their supercharged model to get a good laugh.

    Anyways, here is another great deal on a 2012 red40 for $130 shipped -> DLC Covert

    I love my new Moultrie M990i's. Great pictures. I run a Covert Black 60 and a Spypoint camera, also. I like the Covert, disappointed with the infrared pics though. The spypoint camera is actually a very good camera for the price. Good luck!

    Only two brands of commercial cams I use anymore are Covert and Spypoint. Likely the only commercial camera I ever buy again will be the blackflash Coverts. If I was in Canada I might go with Spypoint. I have been happy with performance from both and Coverts customer service is awesome. I build my own homebrews for scouting and camtrapping to get the best photo quality and consistant, long term performance(plus I can fix them myself).

    I have a Bushnell Trophy cam that has served me very well. Its definitely the best cam I've had so far. I have a Covert Red 40 and the day pics are great but night pics are only decent. Plus the LCD screen on mine is beginning to fail. I had a Moultrie M-80 that I loved but unfortunately it was stolen. I might be looking into the Coverts again if I can find a good deal.
