My digital trail camera HORROR story........
Well guys, as you know, I ordered a Cuddeback digital scouting camera on June 19th from www.bossbuck.com and was led on and on about when I would have the unit. I finally cancled the order and went to www.eders.com and ordered a Interactive Outdoors Trail Spy, just to find out today that it was on back-order, so I cancled that order.
I went all over the internet looking for a good digital scouting camera that was in stock. I found one guy on E-Bay that had 7 Stealth Cam DIGRC-XTR's, 1 was $388 and 6 were $444. Well, the 6 that were $444 would be shipped out immediately and the one that was $388 would be shipped out within a few weeks when he got the camera.
Finally, I found a guy that had 2 Stealth Cam DIGRC-XTR's in stock, and I finally ordered one. Finally, I will have a camera comming that isn't on back-order.
Corn-fed, I know you are getting a DIGRC-XTR, look for the guy on E-Bay that has one, it is $388 which is cheaper than any other place, and un-like everywhere else, it isn't on back-order for 3 weeks!
Just wanted to let you guys know what was going on. So, I am not getting the Cuddeback, or the Trail Spy, but I am getting the Digital Stealth Cam DIGRC-XTR which features the 3.1 megapixel camera. I will have it early next week and I will write up a review!

Mike,
I would like to try the Trail Spy, but I couldn't pass up the price on that Stealth Cam. Anyways, I am entered into a contest right now to win a Trail Spy and I think that I have a good chance, but I won't know until July 31st.
From what I have read, the Trail Spy gets a max of 3 weeks battery life (the same as the Stealth Cam), but it can't have a solar panel added (which I plan to get for my camera)!

Jason,
You should get some terrific photos from a 3.1MP camera.
I almost shudder to think how many trail camera photos you'll be posting this season.[:-]
We're going to need a "Trail Pics" forum just because of you.

Great pics T_in_PA2! What type of game cam set-up are you using? How much did it cost? 7-8 month battery life would be awesome, and something I would love to have.(2-3 month would be fine though)

Wow, what have you done to piss off Mr. Murphy. Maybe this is for the better. I love the 1.3 digital stealth that I have. I can't imagine how great your pics will look with 3 megapixels. I hope you let us know haw it works out for. For you sake I hope it arrives soon too.

I make my own set-up. Using Sony cameras right now. Check out www.hagshouse.com
The pics above are from a camera I made for a guy up north. They were taken last week. He loves the set-up.
