I will have a I-45 Moultrie for sale soon.
I think for them money certain Wildgame cameras take good crisp pics.

Even though this the second year in a row I'm sending it back, I'd recommend a Bushnell. The IR Trophycam I have takes grainy night pics, but a less expensive flash type would probably be better. The small size is a big plus.

Sort of. Somehow carpenter ants got in it. The last time I checked it it had a series of runaway pics and the display was dead. I think the ants shorted something out and killed it. I took it apart but couldn't find the problem.

I hate ants.
They think the cams are a great place to build a nest.

Are you interested? I have some pics that I have posted on here before. I have the card for last pull with all the pics still on it. The ones I have posted on here are the better ones though. I guess the daytime pics aren't that bad but the IR is crap IMO. I would like to at least get what I paid for it. Its in great condition with no scratches.

I have a bushnell trophy cam that takes great daytime pics, but I'm not impressed with the range of the IR flash. I also have the new Moultri M-80 that has plot stalker feature. It takes great pics and the IR flash range is excellent. Both are easy to use and I love the small size of them. They blend in much nicer than the bigger units. For my money, I like the Moultri at about 120 bucks on ebay.

The Covert brand of camera has been good for me. Long battery life and great pics and video.
