I bought the 65mm Razor 2 years ago and it has worked out great for me. It does everything I need and more. I don't think I would want to pack around a 85mm unless I was hunting really open country and looking at critters several miles away. As mentioned above there are some killer deals on the...

I have been using Trail Cameras in Texas for the past 8 years now. I have bought middle of the road cameras ranging from $60-$150. I have tried many of the brands:
Wildgame - had 3 all Junk
Stealth Cam - had 2 both lasted 1 season
Covert - had 1 worked ok
Browning - Worked well lasted 3 seasons...
