Trail Cameras

[Jic]

If I wanted to buy one which one? How often have you had them stolen as they are a little pricey? Would like to put it out at the bait site.

Jic, I use the stealth cam 35mm. It has performed well in all conditions and I have never really had any problems with them. I had two stolen last year and I was only out $140.00 total. I don't think a guy would want to have an expensive camera around a bait site. Some bears don't like having their picture taken, and it is always possible to have them stolen.

put the camera about 15 ft up a tree and point toward the bait......most people wont go to the trouble to climb a tree.............unless you leave the steps in for them.

Same here if you are baiting make sure you do not touch the camera with out clean gloves on. Lost one of my trial cam to a bear bite.

I've never had one stolen yet though. We used Cabelas $80 camera last year and this year I'm gonig to try a New Cheap digital one. Hopefully that will save on the Film costs !!

Me thinks someone puts the bait on top of the camera.

Puttingcaneras ut in thtree does nut help at all

as we has one that was 25 feet up to catch bait sitters that were killing bears off our bait , well they just cut down the tree to get the pictures.
Best way is a good solid box with 2 strands of heavy chain to keep to the tree.

Did you try a digital? If so, how did it work and what did you get?
