    Hey Everyone,

    Im thinking of getting some trail cameras in the off season to see what kinda deer are on my property. And I'm wondering what everyone else uses and how you like it. And of course how much did you pay? Im on somewhat of a tight budget so if you got something that you love for a steal of a price please let me know about it!

    Thanks

    Your best deal will be on a Covert mpe5. I used to have one then upgraded to the mp6's. Great cams for a great price. If you have any issues with them at all the customer service is top notch!

    I will say its hard to beat the Covert MP-E5. I have.....a few, with more to come. There may be some deals out there on the remainder 2013 MP-E5s. The picture in my avatar is from one.

    Honestly I would get a covert mp6. The MPe-5 is a great little camera but the night pictures are a little fuzzy. If you spend just a little more money it will be worth it.

    I'm in high school so I don't have that big of a budget to work with either, the MPE5 is the way to go. I have 3! :tu:

    Covert Mp6 is the best bang for the buck.
