I also bought Bushnells, because they are capable, simple and not too expensive to leave out. Mine are low glow, use SD memory cards, no WiFi or Bluetooth. Resolution is adequate for my use, but there are better cameras for more money. Get an SD card reader for your cell phone, or a stand alone reader so that you can check the cards out in the field. Keep an eye on sales from CameraLand in NYC and on the Camofire website. CamoFire usually runs trail cams every week on TrailCam Tuesday.

I have two older ones that I haven't had need to set up in years. I don't know the generic brand name, but when a brother inlaw was visiting almost three years ago, he bought a thirty-five dollar sale trail cam from a local store. I think it had some twelve mega pixal rating and he runs it at a lower mid level. His wife called my wife, her sister, and had her pick up three more.
He uses the four cheapie cams on a smallish whitetail woods lot year round in the midwest. So far, they work perfectly and are basically disposable if they give up. It's easy for him to stick the SD card in a laptop and screen many dozens of pictures at a time and scroll through pages in just a couple of minutes. For small scale use, it doesn't seem worth going pricier. I'm just not much of a big game hunter, but I would agree with some of the other comments, hide it well, It'll pick up two legged surprises.

I also feel it is rather lazy to make use of trail cameras, instead of personally putting time and effort in the woods to do pre-season scouting. I shoot everyone I come across....

Can we get Biden and his B.B. Veep down your way soon for a "fact-finding" excursion. How about some co-ordinates Joseph Mon ami sans maison?? Le Reynard!! Of course, I speak in jest. You may be a bit "off balance at times, but not crazy enough to harm folks, right?? RWTF

Because you are basically a self-centered jerk who thinks nothing of destroying other's property. Is this surprising to anyone? No.
