I had purchased an expensive Stealth camera several years ago and it has never worked right since I bought it. I sent it back to the factory twice and each time it returned only to develop other malfunctions and I eventually gave up on it.
Canadain Tire had a set of cheap Wildview cameras on sale (2 for the price of one) for $119.00 a couple of weeks back so I decided to pick them up and take a chance. They were only 1.3 mp so I knew the photo quality would suck but in my mind I'm not looking to win a contest I just want to know what's kicking around the area I'm hunting. I put one of the cameras up on Saturday and picked up the photo card today while I was huning. There were 54 pics since Sat (a tonne of does and fawns) and I was very pleased to see a decent size buck: (I apologize for the quality)
I finally broke down and spent some cash on a good trail cam this year. I looked for long battery life and infra-red flash and decided on a Bushnell. When I got it I got thinking about the cost and then had to invest another $35. in a good metal security case that lag screws to the tree and uses a padlock to keep it closed. It could be stolen, but they would have to work for it!
What I like most is the fact it is fairly easy to program so I have an accurate date & time stamped on the pics, and I have found a lot of the deer that hit my feeder are very dependable on the times they appear.
Great deer!
What is that on the ground beside him?

He is one that I would not turn down if the opp presents itself. I have sole access to this 600 acre farm .. until ML season. I plan on putting some hours in on this farm so with any luck he will drop in for a visit.
Pydpiper - That is a mineral salt block from the local co-op. I dont put much out in the line of commercial "deer" products and stick to what seemed to draw their attention when I was on the farm. Great thing is a block that size ($9.99) will last long after the season and help them in late winter and spring.
For what you paid for the cameras Pictures look good to me.
The camera works fine to me.
