Trail Cameras

[Whopper Stopper]

I wasn't sure where to post this and my search of the archives didn't answer my questions, so I will post here and hopefully get it right.

I am in the market for a new trail camera. For the last 3-4 years I have been using a Cudde Back digital. I was never overly impressed with the unit and their instruction book is about as poor as it gets.

A couple of weeks ago a bear decided it didn't like getting its picture taken and put an end to the Cudde. I would like to replace the camera but would like input into which one to get.

I have my own land so I am not nearly as concerned about it getting stolen as if it were public land. I have looked over all the Cabelas cameras and it would appear from feedback that everyone has problems. Is there a particular camera that could be recommended that is dependable, easy to set up, and mid price?

The Cudde when I bought it was $400. About double what they are now (ouch). Cudde offers a trade in program and basically will give you a small break on a new unit. From what I can tell like $25. Even with that, I figure there has to be a better offering out there.

Thanks again........

I did my first camera this year a simple Cabela's(moultrie) and it is fine. I only spent 100 and so far it has taken some pics. I personally started with an intro camera but for the price it has worked well. Next camera for me will have a 30 second or less shutter speed but that said, the Moultrie is a good camera even at the cheap price.

I agree Buddha I have two Moultrie's the regular 40 and the I40 at least I think thats what they are. they both take good pictures and not bad vidio (I40) for not much $$$ Oh they are easy to set up also,I think I lost the instruction book the first day. pretty easy.

I just bought a couple of stealth cam sniper pros. They have been out about a week and have produced some nice pictures day and night. Have yet to try the video. Hope to try that next week. They run $150 a piece. I'll post when I get some video.
