How old is your favorite Trail Camera

[boonez40]

Mine is a Cabela's Outfitter Series 8mp trail camera that I purchase in or around 2014. This camera has worked in the field flawlessly and today is one of the rare times it is out of the woods.

We run some old Browning cameras that are usually in the field 24/7/365. We've had them deployed for at least 8 years now!

Must be better quality than the Brownings I’ve bought. They usually start missing shots and having slow trigger speeds after 2 years. Surely taking 1000 pictures of cattle any given week didn’t help their survival rate. Really liked them and have had a few survive flooded creeks while tied to a tree

Ah yes, nothing as exciting as a camera card full of cattle! I have a couple spots like that.
I'm not sure what model the older ones are, but I picked up a Browning Defender Pro Scout last year that's been great

Not my favourite trail cam, but it lasted longer than I ever thought it would. My eBay trail cam (acorn I think it was called) stopped working a couple months ago. It has spent every day in the field since 2009.

My favorite trail cam was a cheapo simmons I got off camofire years ago. I liked it b/c it was simple and it worked and it was smaller and lighter than any of my other cameras which was nice when packing it in a ways. Lost it when a bear (i assume) took off with it. Wish I had another one or 5.

My Simmons $29 trail cam is my favorite. It’s not the fastest, the clearest or the festooned with the most advanced features. It has taken thousands of grainy pictures and videos over the past 5 years and is currently hanging out around 8200 feet with some lithium batteries refreshed last October with an sad card full of images of spring and summer. I hope to visit it next week and refresh batteries and card.

Homemade modified Olympus D380 Trail cam mounted in an old metal First aid kit with a gasketed cover. Camo Painted with Liquid Nails dried all over the front to look like tree bark. A site called pixcontroller.com sold parts to make the modifications. Loved those old DIY trail cams. I think I still have two in a box in my garage somewhere.

Bought a couple cheap ApeMan brand cams from Amazon approximately 8 years ago and theyre still going strong

The old Brownings and Bushnell are tough to beat. I swear the new ones have a 2-3 year expiration date.

Not my favorite, but I have some moultries that are 10+ yrs old. Still work. (I usually only run them 3-4 months a yr).

Bushnell trophy cam, running since 2013 year round

I have had 3 bushnell X8 out 24/7/365 since 2008. 8 Lithium batteries will last 2 or so years.
