Moultrie sucks

I like Browning.

But you can buy some cheap Chinese cameras on Amazon that work pretty good.

Do not get Moultrie-I like Spypoint-I have a dark-link-very easy to use good settings. If you are going cellular-be sure to check with coverage areas of AT&T and Verison-big difference for me.

Here is a IR photo it took a few weeks ago.  I have it mounted too close to the ground and the flash doesn't work that great.  It would make better night photos mounted a couple of feet higher.

Ours too, but these holes are much bigger than the armadillo holes.

The camera takes the micro sd card.  32G size works for us.  Make sure and format the card while it is installed in the trail cam.  There is a menu selection for that.  I think it uses 8 AA batteries.

Dang.  I ordered that game cam to take photos of the fox family nextdoor...........but they moved out last night and are long gone.  There were 5 cubs and they had grown to be almost as large as their mother.

I got some of Sue walking the dog because I had the time set wrong. I haven't checked it in a few days.
