OK, I looked at trail cams at Ebay and Amazon just to get some idea of what is out there. I was surprised to find the prices of some of them were not as high as I expected. I also know that "you get what you pay for." It seems like I remember hearing about trail cams that are capable of sending live video to ones' computer. Although, if something like that exists it would probably be out of my price range. I'm only a few miles (as the crow flies) from my hunting area so that might would be a viable option to consider. So, if anyone can give me some ideas, like what are good brands and what are some to avoid, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm going to see if I can get back out to the woods today. It is so damn hot that I find my enthusiasm lagging. And yes, if anyone is wondering, I do have a ghilly suit! LOL

Bigfoot can see infrared light, so keep that in mind when looking around.

I have an old Moultrie and a couple Brownings. They work fine and were around $100 each.

The ones that send photos to your phone are cellular not wireless wifi. I avoid them because in the woods I don't have a good cellular signal to begin with and would have to pay monthly fees for the service. Much easier to get extra SD cards, swap them out and take them back inside to check on my laptop. Hope you work out your peanut butter problems.

Get a bunch of cheap trail cams. Don't worry about quality.

Set them up. Use them to figure out where the hotspots are where lots of wildlife passes. (protip: game trails and logs across streams) Then when you figure out the best places, buy a few high quality trail cams for those specific places.

Get the cheap ones from Amazon I think they are like $40-50 each or buy them in sets. I buy cheap ones when they are on sale. I've probably got a least 20 of them. I aim them strategically for the most part you don't want them all facing east or west because of the sun. I've has the cellular ones and they still get stolen. I had one stolen 4 years ago and never recovered it even with the thiefs picture. Plus you have to pay a monthly subscription fee for cell use. Just buy cheap ones and have a couple aimed at each other just incase somebody does steal them.
