The Moultrie A-5 Digital Game Camera Gen 2
This model of Moultrie is an easy-to-use 5.0 MP game camera. It comes with the "belt" and a clip that attach it to a tree. I just added the batteries and a SD memory card. The easy-to-use and understand control panel are under the door that latches securely shut.

The price of game cameras seem to fluctuate. I purchased mine around $45. Then we found some at a big box store, on the clearance shelf, for $30! Yes, we snatched them up. If you can afford to pay more, you can purchase a model with higher pixels (resulting in better photo quality). But for what I want, this photo quality and price tag suits me just fine.
Our Moultie Game Camera Pictures
My roommate is monitoring an area where he hunts. He's captured deer, a fox, birds, and apparently, occasionally, the blowing wind during a snow storm. Well... I should say he caught the movement of the trees during a windy storm. If only we could capture photos of the wind!

I only set up my camera at The Shack just last weekend. There is evidence of many large deer there. And we may have seen bear scat last weekend. I'm certainly no bear scat expert but it was a pile of something from a large animal. I am very excited to have a camera set up to record some of my visitors.
So far, I've captured Willy and the neighbors dog. (Oh boy, I hope the neighbors dog isn't a problem after I move there permanently and add chickens and rabbits to the family! At least I don't have to worry about that for awhile).
I will soon move the camera so it captures the entrance of The Shack. I will know if I have human visitors while I'm away.
