After years of winter cams I just came to realize there was no value in that (for my purposes).

And I've saved a lot of money on batteries.
I am a sport and up for giving them a try in a few cams next season. I run my cams for roughly the same time period

Just so I get the correct ones the are great value brand?

If anyone else has recommendations I would like to here

Right now I find depending on how active the cam is I can usually get say June-December out of my cams running Duracell. But in an active location and cold snaps they may even die mid November. I even noticed during real cold snaps some cameras will read dead but if you warm them up battery life returns(my stealth cam fusions are horrible for this).

Some cams just don’t function correctly depending on location

Honestly there is tons of quirks with trail cams and most don’t even realize
