My favorite (I have both Bushnell and Browning) its the Browning ...16Mp... real small and takes great shots to SD card.

Robb, which model Browning are you using?

Hey Steve I've had 4 cameras... three Bushnell Trophy Cam HD over 12 years and the last few years they fell apart...gaskets then battery wire frayed then wonky circuit boards ... 2 died I still have one...it;'s holding on. Then I bought a Browning Model BTC-8E.

It is a third the size...has more Pixels ... has a slide in battery holder rather than in the main door area. Access to the controls and card is easier to get at in that you can swap out a card (for viewing in the warm house) without having to take it out of the bear metal box (which is actually an anti-human theft box really) I use a cord lock to deter any 'tampering' by trespassers who want to disable the camera if they see them,... I allow hikers on the land but have a few areas that are private ...most folks respect that.  It is now 3 years old and going strong. Batteries last 6 months (on photos) and perhaps 3 on video.  If I had to buy a new one today I'd go with the Browning. It is also small easy to hide at a camp spot for a "travel security camera" . if gone for the day or wanting yto see what passes at night.
