Moultrie Micro 42 & 42i Moultrie Micro 42 Although cellular trail cameras are nice and Moultrie certainly has some exceptional ones to choose from, sometimes you need to go off the grid to find that trophy buck. So when cell towers are sparse and reliability a must, you can’t go wrong with the new Moultrie Micro 42 or 42i. Both offer a battery life of up to 13,000 images, which will get you through the season, and with their 42MP sensors grabbing quality images cou-pled with trigger speeds at 0.4 second and detection range of 70 feet, missing the action is not in the equation either. While the Micro 42 has an IR flash range of 100 feet and the 42i an invisible flash range of 80 feet, both units will do the job when you need to go off-grid. $79.99-$89.99 | www.moultriefeeders.com
