deer cam batteries
I have a wildgame cam that I set over a mock scrape and put brand new rayovac batteries in it.. usually have good success with them but they died after a day and a half.. what's everyone using out there?

I have not found ANY battery that lasts very long in my wildgame camera, especially if I get night time photos... the new Moultrie, on the other hand, still has the same batteries I put in when I bought in and set it up on AUGUST 1st.... well over a two thousand photos on those batteries and the 25% light is still not on .....

Eman89so What abour rechargeable
That question will get you a lot of opinions. Try this web sight 'TrailCamPro.com' I think you'll find the sight interesting and informative. Their studies include batteries, different cam mfg., cam set-ups, cam location, etc.

I have a Moultrie 880. Same batteries all season. Over 5000 pictures per season. I never like any wild game products, cheaply made.

TrailCamPro.com or check em out on YouTube. They test all the cameras and publish the results. Great suggestions on set-ups and placement. Worth your time if you enjoy game cameras.

"Mine is a Moultrie A-8..\"
Dr Trout How is this camera doing for you? I just purchased one last week and was wondering how it performs.
The only thing better than 1 day of fishing is 2 days of fishing.
