    The only reason I’ll pay more for a camera is simply the quality of pictures I’ll get. The best camera I’ve ever put out is a stealth cam G42. I’ve got the DS4K out right and I’m impressed so far. I buy most of my stuff on eBay

    I have usually been a Moultrie guy but lately I feel like their quality has gone down. Not sure who I am going to switch to. I will say there is a Spartan cam in my future though. Just have to get that kidney sold first.

    Well I went with a Strike Force HD pro x. I didn't sell a kidney but got the dreaded eye-roll from the wife.

    you will be happy with it. the only reason i stay away from flash cams is so other hunters don't see and steal it. now i'm starting to wonder if they even make a flash cam anymore?

    My uncle uses brownings and loves them! I use the stealth cams I recently got the G45ngX it was a $100 and takes good pictures! I have started hanging my cameras high now and angling them down and so far no deer or person has noticed them!

    Well looks like this may be my last year at my local spot near my house. Talked to the farmer who rented the land and he said he is done farming but still retains the hunting rights so I am good this year. But I am worried he won't have them for long so I need to start knocking on some doors this spring and summer to find another spot. Obviously my main property is in Indiana but that is 4 hours away so it is kind of nice to have a spot inside 45 minutes to go hunt even if the hunting is marginal at best.

    I'm in the same boat, but my good property is 45 mins away and the marginal is 12 mins. And my wife still gives me crap for being gone so long...

    I’m also in the same boat. The landowners at my favorite place are both in their late 80s and they already have a new farmer there since her brother can’t farm anymore. I’m worried about what’ll happen whenever they both pass away.

    thats why i hunt public exclusively with only one or two small private properties. public in my area is way better than any private.

    I’m very fortunate with the spots I’ve got to hunt and the area where I live. The public isn’t very close to my house and it’s hard to hunt with a lot of pressure. I don’t have the setup to hunt public right now and be real mobile

    I went to pop up the replacement blind today. Had a doe standing at my parking spot upon arrival. I bet she won't be there next Saturday!

    So do any of you have one of the spypoint cell cams? I think we already talked about it but I am just to lazy to look back through the thread. My field and stream store has them for $99 after you trade in an old cam. I have a few broke wildgames laying around some place. Was thinking of getting one just to try.

    For $99 and trade in a non working cam? Worth a shot

    But it's at F&S...

    Apparently, the pics suck. But it's perfect if you just want to know what's out there.

    Yeah I don't care if it's F&S. Maybe if the other outdoor stores weren't so far away.

    And that is all I need is just an advance scouting tool. Might have to try it I guess.

    I'm spoiled to have 2 Cabela's, a Bass Pro and 2 F&S within 40 mins of the house.
