We have a Scheels over in west O about 50 miles away, might take a drive over there today.
Is it worth worrying about 20MP, 18MP, or 16MP?
No cell service. Sometimes if you stand in an 8sq/ft area over by the river you might get something, but not much. The Pamida in Deadwood used to be a cool store for this type of stuff

Muleshoe, My Browning Dark Ops HD X Pro goes out on at tripod every night in the back yard. That flash is undetectable to the deer at less than 6 feet. I've had it on video lately because the night time exposure is long enough to blur the fine detail. I had 109 videos of deer in the yard last night, so I'm going to set the time delay between videos a little longer. I can freeze frame the video on my computer and take a picture of that with my camera phone if I want a still picture. Works great and recommended.
One more thing if you leave it out during the day. I'm not sure how you can prevent getting a picture of every leaf that blows by. I had 1003 windy branch pictures and I won't try that again.

Pick up a touch-tone phone and color television set while you’re out shopping. They are fantastic. ....To put out at our place in Idaho.
Two reasons; One to see what critters are moving around whilst we're not there, and also to see if we have any folks in there who aren't supposed to be.
Most of the pictures will be of white tails as they are numerous, but we also have bear, cougars, and a few elk in the neighborhood, I expect to see them all on the pictures, cuz we've found tracks of all close to the house. One cam will be positioned to watch the only road coming in, and the other to watch the front of the house. Might get a third to watch the meadow off to the opposite side of the house. These may go a month or two in between visits, so they'll need some storage.
I know basically nothing about these trail cams so any info will be appreciated. I don't need the "best" thing out there, just something that will take decent stills or video.

We got a black one with some newfangled remote. Lots of buttons. Took me two weeks before realizing how those two batteries went in. What color do they make television sets in?

Anyone using the Cuddeback/Cuddelink system? For out of state property, seems like it may be cool to have the pics emailed to you. Bit of money though. Just curious if any experience with those.

No cell service. Sometimes if you stand in an 8sq/ft area over by the river you might get something, but not much. No, it's not worth worrying over. Even if you get a 20 MP It won't be true 20 MP's. They are interpolated, which adds pixels to the image without actually making it better. When you try and enlarge the pic it will appear digitized and will be blurry.

If you have cell service, get the ones that will send alerts/pics to your phone. That way you'll know who's on your land even if they take your camera. There are some really nice ones out there for around $99/ea
