I think that some of the “reviewers” have unrealistic expectations.
One writes, “The IR flash is only good out to about thirty feet, though, so when a critter is too far away, all I get is the reflection of its'[sic] eyes.”
Yeah, well, that’s about typical in scout cameras. It’s not like in the movies. It won’t take pictures of activity 100 yards away.
I have half a dozen scout cameras that I have mostly bought on eBay, and $50 is a good price.
3 of the posted “review” images are mine. As is one of the review
I actually purchased this from Amazon at the start of hunting season for $89. $50 is a heck of deal for this camera. I’d have written a glowing review if that’s all I paid for it.
Alot of people paid well over $100 for it, which is why some of the reviews are so negative. The other thing is it comes with little documentation on its use. I found it frustrating.
Bryan, the discount is because hunting season in most places is over or ending. They will have new models next year.
I actually placed it in a new location last week. I’m hot on a 10 point buck and hope to kill him tomorrow night. I’ll throw some more pics up once I pull the card.

I need one of those to record all the trespassers along our private walkway!

Looking by the reviews, it doesnt look to be all that hot. Must be the reason for the discount.
