Opinions on Browning & Bushnell game cams

[spikedbat]

Looking to grab a mid range game cam. Something that does its job well and it's a waste of money.
The two that i'm posting are at sail, ones for $140+ (Browning) and the Bushnell was on sale for $199
Does anybody own either and have any comments/opinions. Do they like them etc?

I have the Bushnell, once I learned to set it (my first cam), it has been working very well. I have only used it for pics so far but I am happy with the cam and would recommend it for ease of use, picture quality and battery life.

Have 2 bushnell's for the last 3-4 year's and have had zero problem's with either of them. My oldest one doesn't like sd card's over 4 gb. took me awhile to figure that one out Luckily a friend has the same model/ year and filled me in. Check out Trailcampro.com good site for comparison and testing of virtually all different cam maker's.

Thanks guys. As for the bushnell's they have LCD displays ont he back so you can check pictures at the camera in the bush? Is that why they are above $200?

I have a bushnell black flash . Very nice camera. Mine goes out Aug 1st on my bear bait. Stays there until October (takes probably 2000-5,000 pics in this time)


then goes out at another spot up north for moose and deer. I don't pick it up until after the snow hits and I can get my snowmobile back in there. It still took pics in -25 last winter and has the clearest pictures of any trail cam I have seen.

Its also quiet and doesn't spook game. I love Bushnell trail cams

Which bushnell, the trophy HD?


Trailcampro.com turned out to be a great site. Very helpful in narrowing down the process and explaining everything I wanted to know.

The trail cam selection guide actually put Browning's Recon series and the Bushnell HD (ones I was looking at) on it's custom tailored list when asking me what I was looking for in a cam. Pretty smart web page.

I own both, they are both great, browning is much clearer at night. Battery life on both is great, make sure the firmware is up to date.

I'm leaning towards a Browning too, it was about $60 cheaper on sale.

thanks guys!

I own a Bushnell for six years now. The night vision wasn't working from the start so they replaced it. It was fine for five years but it doesn't work again for a year now. Overall pretty happy with it, the battery last a year outside even with turkeys coming at the corn no stop. The quality of the picture might not be the best but it doesn't really matter.
I bought a Moultrie once, didn't work after three month, got it replaced and broke again less than a year later.
I got a WildGame innovation last year on sale for 60$, works great so far.
