TAM Report post Posted March 4, 2010 I've owned a bunch of different kinds including the home made kind and the Coverts are by far and away the best bang for your buck! Small and easy to conceal, simpe to operate, quality pictures, not to mention you can support the site by purchasing them through Amanda. Pretty much a no brainer! Good luck!

youngbuck Report post Posted March 4, 2010 The cameras Amanda sells are great. I have one of their predecessors. Id suggest getting a wildview or two in adition to a better camera (the one amanda sells). I use my less expensive cameras in new spots or easily acessed spots. Its a great way to learn how to use them. They are generally easy to program. If you can learn to get good pics w/ a wildview, using a better cam will be easy and it will take great pics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C.Shoemaker Report post Posted March 4, 2010 I got my Moultre stolen this year and intend to replace it with the Covert as soon as I have some extra cash. You got to love the size of the Covert Check out the Trail Camera forum topic. There's tons of pictures you can view that were taken with the Covert. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You got to love the size of the Covert Check out the Trail Camera forum topic. There's tons of pictures you can view that were taken with the Covert. there are also sample photos and sample video on the trail cam ordering page. I really enjoy the video feature on this cam, but most people don't even use it. here is a direct link to the video page: http://www.coueswhitetail.com/bookstore/co...deo_gallery.htm Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coach Report post Posted March 5, 2010 For an extar $30 you can get the "bear box" which adds some protection. The box can be lag-bolted to a tree and then locked. That makes it a little more secure than just a python cable. First time I put mine out, it was lag bolted, python cabled and buffalo locked, but then again, I hate having things stolen. I also made a slight modification to my bear box that makes it really hard to get bolt cutters to the shank of the lock - just another little extra precaution. I can post some pix if you like. However, even in a bear box, if someone finds it and can't steal it, they can still damage it - just a risk with all cameras. Given that these are pretty small and don't flash visibly, you could also get creative hollowing out an old oak trunk to conceal it better. Can't steal what you can't find. Good luck.

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted March 5, 2010 Personally, instead of the bear box, I go with the Tree60 camera mount, which is small and lightweight but gives you the ability to mount the camera in unusual places where people won't look for a trail cam. With a standard camera everyone tends to strap them to the best tree about 4 feet up. With the Tree60 camera mount you can put the camera higher or lower and put it on smaller stuff like logs/branches because it has a ball head built in so you can angle the camera. I am a big believer in working hard to hide the camera rather than putting it somewhere obvious with a lock on it. Amanda here is an example of being able to put it on roots in a creek bank Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
