I run Coverts and really like them. I'd never buy a Wild game nation ,as the owner is a convicted poacher,and game violater

Coverts have been my pick of mid priced cams, but neighbor has a Bushnell that seems to be really good.

In my experience, they all last about 4 years......
Stay sharp, Kenny.

I've had really good luck with the Bushnell trophy cams. Got some going on 6-7 years. Picked up a browning last year and it's good also

I have gone thru most brands and they all give out in the end.  The last couple I have bought have been Browning and they have been pretty reliable for the last two years.

I had a Stealth, slow trigger speed and no trigger speed after a year.

I bought a Browning to replace the Stealth and it is amazing compared to the Stealth. It will trigger 30 yards away or more on a squirrel sized object.

Ive recently started using Exodus trailcams. Fantastic cameras with the best warrenty on the market and reasonably priced for there quality.

I haven't used a trail camera for a few years, but 5 months on one set of batteries ??? I could almost get 2 weeks when I used them back in the day.... Is this true ?

I have many brands of cameras . Covert is the most reliable and the battery life is outstanding! I have one in Colorado, 3 in Kansas that stay out year round and will still be 90-100% battery life after being out a full year with Energizer Ultimate Lithium’s. The cam in Colorado has been on the same tree since July of 2014.
I have not used Browning but hear nothing but good about them.  I just ordered a Browning HD Pro to try. Says 120’ flash range!

I have a close highschool friend that works for Federal ammo and he gave me a Primos cam. It's ran all winter with great pics and the batteries have lasted well.
I would have never bought one, but the price was right. It's great to watch what they do and the times the do come by.
Odds are with the prepared..

Stay away from Wildgame Innovations.  I told my wife I need a new trail camera for my birthday. Sent her a link to Camofire, they had Stealth TrailHawk for less than $100.  I hope it is on the way!  The Stealth cameras get good reviews.

I have about 30 trail cams  of varying brands and right now feel like Browning is the best bang for the buck. I have used Spy Point, Moultree, Bushnell, and Primos brands also.[I still have operational cmeras in these brands and Browning.] For the most part, stay away from the "bottom end" of any brand.
