I leave them out year around in the hill country of Texas.

I have been using Bushnell for years but they have been getting troublesome and not lasting very long.

What do y'all recommend?

I have a home just south of Flagstaff AZ. I used to have 4-5 camera's out all the time, just to observe.

AZGFD passed a "No trail camera law" a couple of years ago. I'm not sure if I can even use them just for fun, and not around any seasons.

They passed the law due to the outfitters competing for trophy Deer and Elk. There are/were private individuals in area's around the Kaibab Plateau and Arizona strip, like Kanab Utah that were finding Mule deer in the 220-240 range and selling the information to the highest bidder.That essentially pushes out the DIY Arizona residents that don't feel the need to hire a guide service.

The big outfitters such as A3 hire literally DOZENS of spotters to re-locate the deer the camera guys find, crowd out DIY hunters and bring their paid clients in.

I'm not a huge advocate for more control, but the regular joe's like myself just cannot compete with the likes of guys like Jimmy John.

The video is a sample of how it works. Just look at the size of the crew. A local found it and lost it to commercial hunters.

Steve, you can't have cameras on private property? I thought the issue was to keep them off public land to keep the cheaters in check?

I'll agree with Ann, my cheapo WildGame cameras have been out continuously for the last three years and are working perfectly.

I knew that bears can be hard on all of them.

They like to crunch them.
