Game-Trail Cam Recommendations

[M12Gunboy]

Looking for opinions and recommendations on Game-Trail Cams.

I need to buy a few to cover an area in front of some property we own.

I have a budget of under $250 each....

Thoughts?

They will be set up in a hedge along a street in front of some property we own in the country.

I was gonna recommend the panoramic. It can take pics in a 180deg FOV. That will be my next camera.

Today, I bought a Tasco. $50 at Walmart. I had a bad experience with them about 5 years ago, but they have completely changed them. They are no bigger than maybe 2 packs of playing cards. I bought it to use around the house. I put it out this afternoon on a game trail on some property where me and the dog have been walking. That's a cheap option if you need something small and quick

You may look into the black flash cams. . The infrareds give off a red glow when they go off. I don't have any hands on with the black flash, but I think they are pretty undetectable to the human eye. I am going to assume you are trying to get "someone" on camera

I have the Wild Game Innovations black flash. Got it last year at the hunting classic at Bass for like $70. Sucker is bad. Can swap between all kinds of modes.

You looking for game or poacher pics? If the latter and the budget permits I'd opt for a more expensive model you can monitor from your phone or computer, miles away. Unfortunately once locals get the pattern that you are not around much, they feel they can come & go and use your property at will, and piss them off enough and you may show up to a pile of smoldering ashes. Too bad the days of the Joe Pechi method has fallen out of favor. Some crazy Mofo camped out secretly there could do some good, any ideas?

Has any one tried out the Spypoint Tiny-W2 8MP 5X Wireless Infrared Surveillance Camera. Its small and suppose to take good pics. It also comes with a small "black box" that also has a sd card and you hide with in 250 feet of the camera. Once the camera takes a pic it saves it to the sd in the camera and sends a copy to the black box. So for hunting you dont have to go in a check your camera you can check the black box and for us that have had cameras stolen we would still have a pic of the pos that took the camera.

SPYPOINT is junk in my opinion based on the ones we have. That model is a good idea but not well made. I will not buy anymore of that brand.

Have any buddies in the drone dept? A misguided drone strike might solve all your problems. LOL.
