Game Cameras

#1 Postby loneranger » Thu Jul 15, 2021 7:57 pm

We recently bought a new rural property that I believe has deer and pigs, so I wanted to set up some game cameras to confirm what's on our property. I have already seen thousands of roos, rabbits and some feral goats, but I am keen to get on to the pigs and deer.
I have never used a game camera before, so can anyone recommend a good reliable brand/model please? I am looking for hunters who have experience in this area ? I really don't want to spend anymore than say $200-$300 each, as I'll probably need about 3 or 4 units.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey mate check out the 4wd supercentre website. Game camera for $99 delivered. I have t used this one yet but all the other kings products I have purchased are good. Fridge and battery jump starter have both worked well.

The camera is crap. Bought one, got a refund. I wasn’t the only one apparently.

Thanks fellas, I have been reading reviews of the $99 units being sold by the 4WD centre (I think the brand was Kings) and most were very bad, so I think I'll pass.

Any other experiences, for example I have heard good things about "Acorn" game cameras - has anyone used these ?
