Out on my motorbike on the trials through the woods here, on the trail of a couple of my hounds that took off, I damn near ran over a headless corpse. Talked to some of the locals, and it turns out ritual murder is on the rise, BUT, the cops are too scared to go into the woods.
The other "law enforcement" group here comprises civilian volunteers with pump shotguns, and they generally dispense "justice" without recourse to trials of any sort, so I spoke to their head honcho, who also expressed understandable reluctance to go lay in ambush in the woods.
Then it occurred to me that a number of night vision trail cameras with NO visible flash, positioned overlooking known "dumping grounds" could be the ticket to identify the perpetrators, so that the vigilantes could round up the guilty and dispatch them to the Happy Hunting Ground.
Looking for No-Glow, or "Black Flash" night vision cameras was a bewildering experience, on account of the vast number of makes and models out there. The Chasing Game website seems to have the most comprehensive listing of reviews about the various trail cameras, and that is where my top choice, the Little Acorn 12MP Trail Camera fell from favor, on account of water leakage issues which may or may not have been resolved by the manufacturer.
I am looking to spend no more than $250 USD per camera, and would have preferred to stay with established name brands like Bushnell, so, after long hours of reading looong reviews, I figured there would be no harm asking here if any of you may have hunting experience with No-Glow (Black Flash) trail cameras, where you might have a favorite and reliable model worth mentioning.
I would prefer a woodland camouflage housing, but will make do with camo tape if the preferred model is only shipped in black, and of course I can ONLY use trail cameras that produce NO visible light when they flash for night pictures. Any words of advice would be very much appreciated.
