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 think my cheapo Wildgame brand last the longest. ~Ann ![]() | |||

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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf0JXZqzsyE&t=969s Formerly "Nganga" | |||

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? ~Ann ![]() | |||

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

I also use Cuddeback game cameras here on the farm. I have 6 infrared cameras that have been used for security the past 8 years. Only have had to replace the batteries. | |||

I think Reconyx is likely the best out there. No-glow infrared, and very long battery life, one year or so. Expensive, but likely the best one I have out of 4 different brands I’ve tried and currently use. Bushnell, Gardepro, Browning, and recently picked up a Minox cheap. The Reconyx is the best IMO. Shoot straight, shoot often. Matt | |||
