MangeyJoe Report post Posted July 16, 2010 I'm planning on buying a DLC Covert II Assasin scouting camera but never used one in my life. I want something that works great, long battery life, and easy to use. What would you recommend? I looked in to a cuddyback but its expensive... What do you have? What do you like? What should I look for? HELP ME PLEASE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TAM Report post Posted July 16, 2010 I've been using a DLC for over a year and love it!!! It's by far the best trail camera I have ever used. Make sure to support the site by purchasing one from Amanda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youngbuck Report post Posted July 16, 2010 The ones that the site sell are top notnh. I supplement my good cams with inenexpensive low MP cams. I like wildview; easy to use, hard to mess up. The pics ares as much fun too look at or show buddies but you can tell if hes a "no brainer" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted July 16, 2010 I love the Coverts!! They have excellent picture and video quality, outstanding battery life, and are lightweight. They just came out with the new HR (high-resolution) version. It doesn't require a remote and can take pics up to 8MP and take a 8GB card. If you want to buy one from CouesWhitetail.com, you can order it on this page: http://www.coueswhitetail.com/bookstore/trail_cameras.htm fyi - you can see sample photos and video on the page linked above. Just a reminder, that as with everything I sell, if you don't like it for some reason you can return it for a refund. Customer service is a high priority here and I want to make sure everyone enjoys the products they buy from me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MangeyJoe Report post Posted July 17, 2010 How much are they? and can someone steal it? Is the cheapest model good and does it have video capabilities? If I get it, it will be through this forum... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmer Negamanee Report post Posted July 17, 2010 How much are they? and can someone steal it? Is the cheapest model good and does it have video capabilities? If I get it, it will be through this forum... Welcome to CWT.com, Mangey Joe. Regarding the theftability issue, humans tend to be morally challenged, especially when no one is looking. And some are quite good with a variety of tools. So the answer to "Can someone steal it?" is always yes. BUT, Amanda sells lockable metal bear boxes and python cable locks to help secure the cams. She also sells a nifty little deal called the Tree-60 mount which allows you to mount the camera in places where many people won't look for a trail cam. If you're a "belt and suspenders" person like me, you'll use them all. But, like anything, if someone finds it and really wants it, it's gone. (Cams on water seem to go especially quickly.) Regarding the price, they're all listed on the CWT.com store accessible from the home page. Here's the link: http://www.coueswhitetail.com/bookstore/trail_cameras.htm I have the Covert II (plus all the anti-theft stuff) and really like it. I don't have the original version but I'm sure Amanda has info on that. Good luck and I can't wait to see your pics! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catclaw Report post Posted July 24, 2010 Someone stole one of mine last year, bear box and all! Now I set up a camera in a hidden location to watch the camera that I am using to target something. They will only steal from me once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TREESTANDMAN Report post Posted July 24, 2010 The covert I and II are awesome!! I would recommend purchasing a bear box and python lock to keep the honest hunters/hikers honest as well as for the bears. I've had several cameras chewed up by bears!! I've also got a home brew P-41 trail camera that is very high quality for sale. The shutter speed is faster than any camera out there. thx, Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curtis Reed Report post Posted July 27, 2010 IMO the new 2010 Bushnell Trophy Cams are the best camera out there for less than $300. They are small, and the battery lasts 1 year. 8 megapixels, fast trigger, great photos, and they have a built in loop so you can attach a master lock python lock to it. I chose them because I am able to get them through my job for $130/ea. I'm glad I did, sweet cameras.

Here is a review from trailcampro.com: Trophy Cam Review Just an fyi - The bushnell trophy cam is a copy of the Covert cams which came out prior to them. The cameras are made by the same factory but under different names, so they have the same features. The Covert cams were created by a deer hunter in Kentucky and he has them built in China. However the factory in China made a deal with bushnell to essentially make the same cameras under the bushnell name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
