Out of these 2, which do you prefer? I had a Primos 35 & it was junk. I have a Bushnell TC now but after 5 years the screen is going blank.

Is it the older version or is it the newer Ultra version?

There is another thread going on right now, concerning Primos and Cuddeback. The Primos seem to be taking the lead. I've used Bushnell before, and they worked, but I wanted more. I've personally been using Moultrie for several years now with no complaints.

So far it's 3 vs 3. Doesn't help me make up my mind!

I have tried several different brands and have had the best luck with the Bushnell Trophy Cam.

my newest primos 46 has been running year around for a year and change and havent had a single problem yet. Love it for the money. Have a few of the primos and for the money I cant complain about any of them on battery life or quality.

I have 5 of the Bushnell Trophy Cams going right now taking about 2K pictures a month and they work great. Actually bought 2 more this year since the last 3 had been so high quality. However, I have never used a Primos.

I have both the cheaper Bushnell and the 46 Ultra and they are both good cameras. I think the 46 is a little easier to set up but they both work well. You really can't go wrong with either from an operations perspective but I will tell you Primos went beyond their warranty when I had problems with older models of the Truth Cams, so for that reason alone I have to give the TC Ultra the nod.

I ended up getting a new BTC from Academy for $149. It's not the newest HD version but for that price I don't care. Thanks for the input!

Bushnell all the way. I have purchased 2 Primos cameras and both of the Primos have been replaced by Primos and the 6 Bushnell's stay in the woods taking pictures. I have both of the Primos at home broke again and they will not fix this time. I will not purchase a Primos camera ever again.

Just bought the Primos 46....and its complete junk! Batteries died very fast and it kept freezing up. Took it back to Cabelas and got my money back after 2 weeks. Maybe I got a lemon but all 18 reviews on Cabelas are similar to mine. Very disappointed and am looking for another camera. Bushnell or Moultrie

I have both and prefer the Bushnell, but have no complaints on the Primos.

I've gotten over 10K pic's on 1 set of batteries in my BTC so yours is messed up if it eats batteries.
