Trail cams

Post by sdw »

What kind do y'all use? How long are they lasting? What kind of range do they have at night? How is the picture quality? What kind of flash?
I just started using them about 4 years ago. I bought a stealth cam. I liked it so the next season I bought a few more. My first one died last year. It made it 3 years. I'm figuring I better start planning on the others dying soon as this is their third year. Range at night has been ok for me. It usually gets pics up to around 80ft. They are no glow and take fairly good to really bad night time pictures. Night time quality has varied. Day time quality has always been very good.

I bought 2 bushnell E3's tonight because I had a couple of cameras to trade for the trail cam trade in at Dicks sporting goods. The LCD doesn't work on one of them. I think instead of returning it, I'll see what bushnell does to make it right and how quick they do it. I'll report back.

Side note - I also stepped in dog shit in my back yard. Not a good night tears

I called bushnell today. They were very uninterested. Couldn't care less that I bought a camera and it wouldn't work out of the box. Said "just take it back to the store"

I think I'm going to keep 1 and return the one that the LCD screen doesn't work. I don't expect any problems with the store giving a refund. I'll probably be on the river all day today but I'll update after I go back to the store.

I returned the camera to d*#k's yesterday. They gave me a $10 store credit and the only question they asked was if I wanted to exchange it or get a refund. The $10 store credit expired in 3 hours so, I didn't use it. But at least they immediately did something before they even asked if I wanted to exchange it or get a refund. That's a lot better than what bushnell did about the situation.

I would've offered it to you but you said you were working on a watermelon infused Heineken recipe or something. :DRUNK:
