I bought one of the new small Trophy Trail Cams by Bushnell and it seems to be doing what it's supposed to. Trigger speed is great from dead asleep, the first pic is me riding my wheel at 5 mph about 15 yards out from cam. The other pics are just a sample of what it can do. There is a boundery scrape just right of center below the branches.

I do have a stand within bow range, but look at the time. I need night vision for my bow. LOL Maybe he'll slip up when the chase really starts?

You have a choice of 3 or 5 mega pixels. 1st cam I bought was the text only version $163 - The 2nd has the color viewer $171. I spent a lot of time searching on the net to find these prices and I don't think I did too bad. Of course I know there is always a cheaper price out there somewhere, just hope I didn't miss it too far.
I didn't post it but the same day I did the 5 mph test, I waited till later (an hour or so) and I did another test at 10 mph. The only difference, I was on the other side about to leave the picture, but still completely in view.

Many times companies produce products from multiple companies.

Isnt the Bushnell Trophy the same as the DLC Covert? Maybe small differences.

The price and quality of the new cams are getting better.

Thats a nice cam. I-hunt-because-its-fun.

Yes, I looked at it and another that the name slips my mind, all made by the same Jap company. The reason I went with the Bushnell is that it has a better seal against moisture. The dlccovert has a non-sealing opening on the bottom I believe. With our humidity and rain why take chances?

Nice trail-cam pics. Good luck on seeing this guy at 2pm instead of 2am!
