Looking to add another 6 (ideally) cams to my arsenal so I can have my eyes on more promising spots this year in addition to the locations i've already been camming.

Stealthcams are all working since last May, so they seem to be decent for the cams on the cheaper side of things, I wouldn't be able to run very many if I just bought the high end quality ones.

Where do you guys get stealthcams other than cabelas or basspro? Looking for a package deal with just cams that comes without batteries or cards, stealthcam won't ship to Canada tried their site.

China (I mean Canadian) tire. Wait till they come on sale (which is often). Get one of their MasterCard where you can accumulate cdn tire money and use it to buy the cameras as you go. That's what I've been doing for years and have gotten a number cameras from there essentially free because of the cdn tire $$. (although I stopped buying the stealth cams as I think the trigger speed and video quality suck) and only buy Bushnell and Spypoint now

Seen em at a couple triangle group chinese tires, but only singles no packs of multiple for cheaper.

What is the price difference you found between stealthcam and bushnell or spypoint, much more expensive for better quality and what models of those do you run?

Even with the $$$ exchange and shipping, camofire will be one of your best bets. Just watch for Trailcam Tuesday as CF has some great deals!

People must have good luck with Stealth Cams; I have three and two (G45) are good at video and shitty at pictures and the other one (PXV26) is so hit and miss. The downfall is that they all only allow 32gb cards max and since I run video, they fill up after 230-250 10 sec videos. My Brownings get 450+ for the same card.

Also, check out Amazon and some of the Chinese cams that get good reviews on places like TrailCamPro - Garde Pro 3 and Alpha 4K to name a couple. I have a couple of the GardePro 3 and really like it for a sub $100 cam

Cheers

Thanks wentrot this is exactly what i'm looking for but last year I bought a pack of 3 for $130 from there!!! So trying to find that deal again lol, bass pro has similar 3 pack of stealth cams for 280 now. Idk why the big price jump, but I haven't been able to find that same 3 pack for a similar price again at cabela's since last April..... hoping to again. Stealth cam actually has the same 3 pack for ~120 on their site but won't ship to Canada

yes it was in stock in Abbotsford and online. Basspro will price match if they have em, sadly I think the only way to check inventory will be to call

I was just looking for the sale for a pack of 3 that comes with just the cams and no batteries or sd cards so whatever those ones would happen to be I would have grabbed, the ones on sale at cabelas I was hoping to get are the "browtine 16mp"
