When talking about spring, we naturally think of warm, beautiful, life giving, etc. Spring actually symbolizes an explosion of life. In order to capture those vibrant lives, a camera with long standby ability will be very useful to you.
Spring is very wet, humid, and full of critters. The rain and humidity will cause water damages to trail camera, the ants may invade into the camera. So we need to take all of these possibilities into consideration and make comparisons with different kinds of trail cameras even including your current ones and new cameras on the market to make a final decision.
First of all, maybe you need to blow the dust of your old trail camera and check whether it can still work or not. If it works, maybe you will keep thinking: is it worth it to buy new batteries for it and use it for another year? If there is any doubt about these thoughts, you’d better try a new one.
