Default Cellular Trail Cams for Bear Baiting?

Hi All,

I am a new black bear hunter and would like to try baiting this spring. I am wondering if anyone has used a trail cam with cellular service to transmit activity at the site in real time? Most cams online work with American carriers and I don't know if they will work here.

Thanks!

Use the search function and put in trail cam. There is a ton of great info on here already. If you still have questions after reading all that stuff, post them up, but my be us you won't. Short answer, lots of cell cams work in Canada if you buy the right version.

Bought a tactacam reveal sk about a month ago. Works great as long as you use the proper sd card. Costs $162/year for unlimited with no video or hd. So far it works good.

Make sure you build a steel box for your expensive camera so it doesn't get eaten!!

I run several tactacams for bears and deer and i love them. You can pay monthly or yearly, they work in low coverage areas. I use bear boxes but the odd one will eat the attenas off so I buy a few off Amazon for cheap. It's usually always little bears that mess with them.

I too run the Tactacam for elk and spring bear ..cost is minimal , like all 4 cams run 35.00 month ..
Did lose a antena but RD comunications can replace for 25.00
So far the Tactacam is top dog , for me .
Batt life is sept to end nov on one cam anyway ...

Tactacam Reveal 2.0 has been great this winter on a snare site ,used alkaline batteries and they were pretty good even thru the cold spell but will go lithium next year.
