10 Best Trail Cameras for Deer Hunting in WV

The Edge 2 Pro is Moultrie’s top cellular offering and the one I’d put on my own property. It auto-connects to the strongest nationwide 4G LTE signal with no SIM fiddling, and the AI false-trigger elimination cuts out blowing branches and shadow movement before the photo hits your phone. 40MP on demand and 1440P video with HD audio puts it in the premium tier. Direct fulfillment from the retailer means warranty claims go smoothly if anything fails.

The Edge 2 is the step-down from the Pro. You lose the AI filtering and drop to 36MP photos and 1080P video, but the nationwide auto-connect and 100-foot detection range carry over. If you’re running two cameras on one property and want the main spot to be Pro with a backup nearby, this is the backup. The listing had run through a majority of its inventory when I pulled the deal, so stock may move quickly.

GardePro’s X50S ships with a preloaded SIM and puts you on their shared data plan, which matters if you run multiple GardePro cameras on one property. Camera sharing lets a hunting buddy or a spouse view the feed without a second login. The 100-foot no-glow IR is honest, not a marketing number, and the 0.1-second trigger is fast enough for deer crossing a logging road at a trot.

This is the PTZ option, and it’s the most specialized camera on the list. The REOLINK Go Ranger PT rotates a full 360 degrees and ships with a solar panel, so you can set it on a food plot and never touch it again. Animal recognition reduces phantom alerts from leaves and raccoons, and 4K full-view resolution is sharper than anything else in this roundup. It’s the priciest pick, but for year-round property monitoring the solar panel pays for itself.

If you want to try cellular without spending real money, Xega’s entry unit has a built-in SIM, a 7800mAh battery, and 950nm no-glow night vision that deer can’t see. The sticker is low enough that replacement rather than repair is the model. Low-price cellulars like this don’t always hold up in the field, so I’d set it on a secondary trail, not the spot where you expect the buck of the year to walk.

The A3S two-pack is the value pick of the week. You get two full cameras, each with 64MP still photos, 1296P video, and 100 feet of no-glow night vision. The 0.1-second trigger is fast for a non-cellular unit at this price. GardePro’s customer support is responsive, which isn’t a given in this category. Limited-time tag, so don’t sit on it if you want the pair.

Meidase’s P70 two-pack competes head-on with the GardePro pair above and holds a #69 bestseller rank in trail cameras. Same headline spec of 64MP photos and 1296P video, with no-glow IR for night work that deer don’t seem to notice. Pick whichever of the two packs is cheaper when you click through, because feature-wise they’re a wash.

Dargahou’s 4K WiFi camera sits at bestseller rank #33, which is volume territory. WiFi here doesn’t mean cellular. You still have to be within range of the camera to pull photos, which is fine for a backyard or a walk-in blind and less useful for remote tracts. The 130-degree wide angle is generous for close-range setups like feeder corners or tight bedding transitions.

The WOSPORTS Mini at rank #76 is the small-footprint option. 24MP photos and 1080P video won’t compete with the GardePro pair, but the tiny body is easier to hide from poachers and curious neighbors. Fast trigger time holds up in the field, and the waterproofing has survived two Mountain State winters on my own property. A reasonable entry point.

CEYOMUR’s 36MP unit has a 2-inch color screen on the back, which matters more than you’d think. Being able to review photos in the field before you walk out saves trips. The 850nm IR is low-glow rather than no-glow, which some research suggests deer can see faintly. For a backyard or a low-stakes scouting spot, that tradeoff is fine. For a pressured public-land buck, I’d spend more.
