Does anyone have a trail camera? I would love to get one, but it would have to be digital, I know nothing about them. If anyone has any knowlege on this, could you point me in the right direction!

I have the perfect spot, and minutes ago saw a nice buck walking behind my house, by the time I got the camera and got out there he was gone. The trail that used to go behind my house was overgrown, with some big trees across the path that fell this past winter. The power company just opened up all the trails and boy did they open it, I know deer will take the easiest path they can, and this one ables 12 deer to walk side by side right into my yard!!!! Here's a few pics I took while trying to get a picture of the buck!

To the right is Hundreds of acres of woods, mostly conservation...Sorry Guys

A few years ago I manage to close the gate while 6 or so deer were in my yard, I called my buddy and told him I had pet deer, he came over and the deer hopped that 6 foot gate from a stand still....Didn't work very well...

You do not need to purchase a digital trail camera! I have got some of the best pictures on the $50 35mm camera from dicks or walmart. My brother bought a less expensive digital and every picture he gets sucks!

Here are a few I have taken with the cheap 35mm trail cam!

Does you camera take a million pictures of birds and squirrles? I have a nice digital one and thats all it takes along with a few deer pictures. The nighttime pictures also stink on it.

I have a scanner for my laptop, the camera is a Stealth Cam. I believe Dicks has it and so does walmart. I have had this one for two years...takes 8 AA batteries and a roll of 35 mm film. I can leave it in the woods for about 5 weeks before batteries need to be changed...good luck!

Fish I have two of those Stealth Cams that Tacoma is talking about. They take some great photo's and are not as expensive as the digital. I scan all my photos into the computer.

Tacoma those are some nice shots I like that pic of the buck in the snow. Beerchug
