I have 7 or 8 out, cant remember exactly. oldest one I have is almost 2 years old and still going strong. moisture on the lense after a rain or very humid day is my only complaint.

This year is the first time I’ve ever owned any cameras, but given all the stories I’ve heard from folks getting their cameras stolen I won’t be buying any expensive cameras. $40 is the max I’ll pay for one, and that’s usually either a close out/clearance or a refurb. So far so good on the couple I’ve got. And just for grins, I took a Sharpie pen and wrote out Exodus 20:15 on the top of them!

With an extra $2 you get the 2 year warranty and just swap them out. $30 for a guaranteed 2 years is a slam dunk!

Post up some night pics. What kind of flash they got? I don't use them alot, but I like putting them over corn and move them around a bit just to get ideas on travel and stuff when I'm on a new spot.

Night pics are very good so far though I'm not sure how to post pics here any more

Do they smell like dick’s too?

How do you get it to tell you how many pics are on it when checking/changing cards?

I own near 30 cameras. All makes, models, old, new. You name it, me andmy dad have owned it.

Probably owned 75 over the last 15 years.

My opinion is simple, I'm not needing prize winning photography.

The cheap cameras today are better than the good ones 10 years ago.

I'm deleting 99% of the pictures anyway.

Now, other than Browning cameras probably the best most reliable cameras ive owned are reconditioned Moultrie I paid $29 for. FIVE YEARS AGO. they all still work. Yes they use C batteries.

The worst was some WG we bought 8 years ago. They didn't last long but ihad $20 in those.

I've got several, most really except for the few Brownings, were all either clearance or refurbished and I paid not a cent over $40 for any of them.

The absolute worst for the money was Cuddeback.

I have been using twelve TASCO 8MP game cameras for about 4 months now at my Louisiana forest properties.

32Gb Sandisk cards with Amazon AA alkalines.

No complaints.

Here is some of what I have found:

Is that first camera sitting on the ground??

Actually, it was a new trick I discovered. Using a Moultrie EZ Tree mount (also at wally world), I mounted the camera at about 30 degrees downward. The camera got more photos than all the others because it did not collect water on its lens.

I have since placed other TASCO cameras this way to see if this can help get more images.

I do mount all of these cameras 1' - 2' off the ground to get more action.

so 1'-2' off the ground pointing up at 30 deg angle?

Great pics, I have had mixed success with the Tasco's. I'm going to try this camera positioning technique next.

I'm the opposite, I try to get some air when possible. Just as much action and not too many folks gonna see them.
Oh, the elk and bears don't mess with them either. Checked one today 3ft high and the elk had been messing with the strap

I put this one out today at a major crossing for some wintering bulls. Inventory before they shed

What are you trying to get pictures of snakes?

I've got 2 that have been going since the beginning of last season. The moisture in the lense cover is the only issue I've had. I'm gonna try to put it under a thick limb or something like that and see if it helps. Hell I'd pay an extra buck if they would install a dang 5 cent gasket

I bought 3 last year and only 1 is still working

In this part of Louisiana, deer are the only tall game and they have been hunted towards eradication.

I track and hunt the feral hogs on my timberlands to keep them from rooting up seedling pine trees.

As a result, many of my cameras focus, up to the horizon of the image, on the ground.

The particular squirrel image I shared was the result of a mistaken camera placement that should have been mounted 1' higher on the tree with a 30 degree tilt downward.
