I have multiple flash 4.0 and one flash 5.0 model. Both have worked real well for me and are economical. I really don't any advantage with the 5.0 model that I have. It has the small view window but you really can't see any detail so I just always swap out my SD cards and bring them home to view on computer. You could get a couple of flash 4.0's in the dollar amount that you've stated.

Only thing is if you want to jump to the infrared flash models. They are a bit more spending. I personally haven't seen a flash scare deer away as some may claim. I've got several pictures of mature bucks again and again.

I would second the IR cameras, they are very good for the money. Battery life is fantastic as stated (compared to the cheaper flash cameras). Only drawback is the blurred pics of deer when moving but you will get that with other cameras as well. Can't go wrong with the Mountrie line of IR cameras! Good luck!

Check out chasinggame dot com. The site doesnt sell anything but has reviews of many many cameras. I just bought a bushnell trophy cam and am very happy with it. For me, the moultries are a good price but I got too many butts as the trigger speed was too slow.

Trailcampro is a great place to get unbiased comparisons of all the trail cams. Check it out. I own 2 scoutgaurds and they have worked flawless. When I was going to get two more I was told that scoutgards were not going to be made anymore and that the Bushnell Tropy Cam was essentially the same camera in a different housing, which you can tell when you are programming them. The trigger speeds on these cams are incredible.

I have a Moultrie D40 (Flash) and it worked well this year had a few pictures of deer walked in but then second picture it was gone. Hard to say did flash spook it? Did they change paths? Did they walk right through and the delay was too slow? for 80 bucks it was a great camera easy to program easy to use. For christmas I got a Stealth Camera Snipper IR. Great photo's harder to program but took a little bit to figure out but pretty nice pictures and can't wait to play more with it. I think that is running about 160. I also got cash from grandma and picked up a Wildgame Innovations IR4??? I think it is called. Smaller camera which I liked but it don't have shot burst. So I was told to put it on video so that way I can get more things on the camera instead of just one shot. We'll just have to see what next summer brings for me. I have not put the Wildgame one out yet and with the cold and snow I do not plan on taking it out.

Reconyx Reconyx Reconyx. These baby's are the ticket. I have had one for 2 yrs well over 6000 pics a year on a single set of batteries. Never had them go dead in the middle of the week or two days after I checked it because of below 0 temps. If you have used other cameras than you no how frustrating that is. The rapid-fire mode is almost like video but without the memory getting burned up. Looking into buying 2 more,been saving up for the big plunge. Yes the price hurts but the performance and batt life is unbeatable. Go ahead and go for it. Its worth it.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
