It has been a year since I decided to test and review digital scouting
cameras. Through doing these tests I.d hoped to give hunters some good
information that would help them as they shopped for a digital scouting
camera of their own. I think I have accomplished this and fortunately for
me, I.ve had a lot of fun doing the tests.
I.m not sure exactly how many pictures I.ve taken but it is over 10,000. I
received the first bobcat picture in the last batch and have yet to get a
picture of a coyote, but sooner or later I.ll get one. It.s still exciting
to get each group of pictures.
So far I have used eleven digital scouting cameras and am currently trying
to decide which one I will try next. There are still plenty to choose
from.
What have I learned over the past year?
For the most part you get what you pay for. Although there are some
expensive cameras in the $300 plus range that aren.t much better than the
cheaper ones there aren.t any in the under $200 range that come close to
those in the $400 plus range.
You can.t beat a real digital camera for good picture quality. There are
some hunters out there that do not care an ounce about picture quality but
there is a difference. The higher mega pixel scouting cameras that have
come out are an improvement over their predecessors but their prices are
higher and they do not match the picture quality.
If the possibility of your camera being stolen is a factor you have a
tough decision to make. The cheaper cameras are lacking in their ability
to be locked to a tree whereas the better cameras come with much more
secure locking capabilities. This makes for a tough decision. Buy a cheap
scouting camera that is easy to steal or buy a more expensive one that is
harder to steal. Whatever you do, don.t buy an expensive one that does not
have good locking capabilities.
The latest is an infrared model and I.m not completely sold on it although
it is still early in my testing. I.m not sure about the pink black and
white (can this be) pictures, I.ve been somewhat spoiled by good quality
nighttime pictures. I.m not convinced that these cameras are less
susceptible to thievery either. An intruder would definitely see the flash
but the red IR lights are very noticeable as well and they stay lit for a
few seconds. I.m thinking a flash could possibly be mistaken for
lightening whereas the red IR lights are a real eye catcher. As far as
your digital scouting camera being stolen the IR versus flash may be a
wash. The real advantage with the IR may be the distance issue.
For me batteries are a difference maker. The cameras I have that use AA
rechargeable batteries and/or get six months plus from a single 9-volt
battery are head and shoulders above the rest of the crowd. One of the
major advantages of digital scouting cameras is how cheap they are to
operate as compared to 35mm models. If you are buying a lot of batteries
the advantage of a digital camera is lessened somewhat and more
importantly it is a pain in the rear end.
In 2006 I.ll continue to purchase and test digital scouting cameras, have
the enjoyment of viewing another 10,000 pictures and hopefully help the
hunting community in the process.
