I have one of the BC versions of this cam and I love it. I'd love to have about a dozen more. Depending on the price I might be in for two or three myself.

As others said there is the blurring issue at night but not that bad. My first set of batteries is still going at almost a year and it has taken thousands of pics.

Yeah, but your WV deer are half the size, therefore only take up half as much room in the picture, leading to the longer battery life. :smiley_crocodile:

I would potentially get another cam...could probably talk my BIL and FIL into one or two each as well.

Have you guys considered Spypoint.

Here is the 4mp model I use. I got them for about $85 shipped from Gander with a $50 off order coupon.
http://www.spypoint.com/EN/FL-A.html

Even their IR6 (6mp) is only $130

They have a new cam called "bloodline" 7mp IR $150

5mp model camo case

Gander has the 4mp one for 99.99 and with the coupon code GMTN5 you can get 5 bucks off every $50. Add some 2.99 Fishing line to get over the 300 mark and the total is 272 bucks for 3 cams. Or $90 bucks each.

Gander has the Bushnells on sale for $159 this week. Not sure if you can use the code Joe supplied with those or not.

Joe, what kind of battery life are you getting with your Spypoints? They use AAs also, right? $272 for 3 infrared cams is a pretty good deal.

Yeah, they take 6 Double A batteries.

Not sure of an exact pic count as I check and moved them around a bunch last year and didn't keep count. I had them out Most of deer season last year to include turkey and just replaced them the other day... And that includes 3 weeks in January.

I pulled 825 pics off the one cam Sunday and the battery life still showed full. about 90% IR pics. And I'm not using Lithium bats. Just plane old Energizer.

I sent Spypoint an email today asking what kind of deal we could get on their IR-4mp, IR-5mp and IR-6mp, cams for a bulk buy.

Is anyone going to try this with Bushnell?

Get me a couple model options and I'll shoot them an email and see what we can do.

Personally though I don't see them as being any better than the Spypoint bloodline 7mp at $156 retail. Except the Spypoint has 46 IR leds VS TC with 32. And spypoints leds are set at 10, 25 and 40 degree angles to offer a wider broadcast. It also has a 5 zone detection PIR sensor that tries to center the target.

VS

Here is their one step down IR-6 model in Video mode at $123 bucks retail

I could go for that cam. If we can get a bulk order I would go with 2 of them.

Schu72 · Jun 15, 2011

For the Bushnell the Model Number would be 119446C for their basic 8 mp camo cam.

Is he a dealer? If so he will still have his profit built in. I want them for what he pays lol .. The Sales manager from spypoint called me Friday he's working me up a quote.

TC hasn't responded to my email. I'll call them monday.

He is a dealer, but I just figured I would check. Told him we were checking around for the best deal we could possibly get.

"J" · Jun 19, 2011

Thanks guys, appreciate the effort.... I'd like too have 3 but 2 is more practical at this point....

rgecko23 · Jun 20, 2011
