I've got the Non Typical NCX-10. I got an 8 pointer, 6 pointer, (got him twice in two different locations), fox, about 6 does, wife's cousin walking his dog to the river, walking him back, other cousin riding bike to the river, riding his bike back and plenty of shots of me taken while I was setting up and moving the camera (my own fault). That was all on my first roll. Shots of deer and fox were at night and shots of humans in the day. How typical! Just remember to rewind the film before opening the back of camera. That was my mistake on the second roll. After you open the back you can't rewind the film. At least I don't know how. But that's operator error. The pics at night are good and the ones in the day are as good as any taken with a normal camera. I like mine but I don't have the luxury of have others to compare. - possum

I have DeerCams that I have made modifications to. I cut a small hole in the front to see the little light so I know when I have disarmed it. I have also cut a small hole in the top to see number of pictures- just make sure you cover it with clear plastic and seal it good or rain will get in. I also added eyebolts with double nuts inside the box, attached a chain and a link to lock it to the tree. If someone steals it, they will have to tear the box up so much they will not be able to use it. I have 2 of these and I would recommend the DeerCam to anyone. - 7point.

I also own a DeerCam brand, love it. Wish I could 5 more, paid $279.00 for mine. I've got deer stands that cost this much. You can hide this camera a whole lot better than you can a deer stand. Go ahead, make the investment, you'll be glad you did! - Larry Ragland.

I have the camera and I love it, it's one of the best hunting tools I've ever bought. - Jeremy.

There are several brands to chose from. I went with the Nontypical Deercam and I think it works just great. If you want I can email you a pic of a Cougar that I just got last week. Like I said ,loads of fun. - Bill.
