RE: who here makes homebrews
I do, you can scroll down the page or do a search on my name and see some of my picts. I use a sony p32 camera, a brain for the control board, and either an otter 3000 or pelican 1040 camo dipped box. total cost for the do it yourselfer is around 250.00 depending on the price of your camera. I am a member of both jesse's which mdbohuntr gave you the link for and hagshouse.com which is the site I use most often. the guys on hags house are great help. you can see many picts of the units you want to build and get all your questions answered. I would suggest you decide what kinda camera you want to build first. I like the sony's as they take great day and night pictures, however, the minolta x20 is a great camera that can be mounted in a case that is small enough to fit in your shirt pocket. my units run around 4 inches wide x 6 inches long approximately. hope this helps. If you have any other questions feel free to ask. my user name is the same on all boards.

You'll find a ton of info on the boards arkansasbowhunter linked. I've been wanting to build my own for a couple months now. Just can't get the money together to do it. I'm trying to get a good deal on a P32 on ebay but no such luck yet.

Titleist_03, I got my P32 on ebay. I just broke down and paid the 120 + shipping that some were going for. I found it worth while to get up and hit the auctions ending at 2:00 in the morning. Also look for used ones that don't come with everything. You can get a sony memory stix reader for a computer for about $20. This way you just go to the woods, grab the current card and put a new one in. You will need 2 cards but it is really nice. You are in and out of the camera site in just a few minutes.
I have not put together my cameras yet but I hope to be doing some of that this weekend. Until then I will just have the cuddeback. I am going to check it again this weekend. I'll let you all know if I get anymore good ones.
