I've got a couple of Moultrie 990i Blackouts that have been outside for 2 years now and still doing well. Moultrie is located in Alabaster, AL.

I bought 5 of the cheap WGI cams last year. Two of them lasted for a few months, two were just put out again two months ago and the other hasn't been out of the woods since August last year.

I have had a Browning strike force out for about a month now. Great day time photos but the night pics aren't that impressive.

Also put out a Stealth Cam G30? at the same time and it is my favorite so far.

The Browning and Stealth were both under $150 but only time will tell if they will last.

I am very happy with my Bushnell Trophy Cam HD. No complaints... Battery life is my favorite part I will say...

I have the $69 Wild Game Innovations cameras from Academy. I think they're 4.0 MP. I bought my first one three years ago and it's still working. Sometimes the night pics are a little grainy at distance but I don't really care if I have a pic of a grainy 8 point. I know he's there. I favor the design of the battery compartment, it's on the bottom and less prone to leaking. Good battery life too. I bought two time lapse Moultries this year, the jury is still out.

I just ordered a Browning black ops today. Suppose to be black flash (Which is the only way to go imo). Give around $130 including shipping. Found it online, not sure which site it was. I read the reviews. I think it'll make a good one for under $150.I have a moultri m-80 black that's on its 3rd year with no hiccups.

I have a couple of Primos thruthcams, about $90 each, that are on their 3rd and 4th seasons. I run them Sept-May on one set of batteries.

I know that you said your big on customer service and you mentioned no Moutrie because you heard bad things BUT I use their M-880s and have been very happy with them. Your customer service thing reminds me of a scene in Tommy Boy...

Tommy: Let's think about this for a sec, Ted. Why would somebody put a guarantee on a box? Hmmm, very interesting.

Ted Nelson, Customer: Go on, I'm listening.

Tommy: Here's the way I see it, Ted. Guy puts a fancy guarantee on a box 'cause he wants you to feel all warm and toasty inside.

Ted Nelson, Customer: Yeah, makes a man feel good.

Tommy: 'Course it does. Why shouldn't it? Ya figure you put that little box under your pillow at night, the Guarantee Fairy might come by and leave a quarter, am I right, Ted?

Ted Nelson, Customer: [impatiently] What's your point?

Tommy: The point is, how do you know the fairy isn't a crazy glue sniffer? "Building model airplanes" says the little fairy; well, we're not buying it. He sneaks into your house once, that's all it takes. The next thing you know, there's money missing off the dresser, and your daughter's knocked up. I seen it a hundred times.

Ted Nelson, Customer: But why do they put a guarantee on the box?

Tommy: Because they know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of sh*t. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time. But for now, for your customer's sake, for your daughter's sake, ya might wanna think about buying a quality product from me.

I love Tommy Boy- fat guy in a little coat.....

I bought a couple of spy point cameras this summer and so far so good. Dad is running the moultrie 880 and it's doing well also. I am looking to see how these do after a year of use . That's when mine have crapped out in the last, for moultrie I had that someone stole (logger- also Cut down the tree with my stand and climbing sticks but left them mangled in the ground as well as the tree-***hole)
