I just got my hands on Moultrie’s new lineup, and I want to walk you through what’s coming. These aren’t tiny upgrades—they’re solid improvements in image quality and features that actually matter when you’re hunting.

The Lineup

The original Edge is still solid at 33 megapixels and 720p video for about $80. But if you want to step up, the Edge 2 brings 36 megapixels and 1080p for $100. That’s the sweet spot for a lot of folks.

Then there’s the Edge 2 Pro—and this is where Moultrie got serious. Forty megapixels, 1440p video, upgraded night vision, and no-glow flash so the animals don’t spook at the infrared. The AI smart capture is real useful too: you can tell it to ignore cows or other non-game animals, so you’re not wasting storage on pictures you don’t need.

What Sold Me

The instant control feature lets you point your phone app at the camera while you’re setting it up and see exactly where it’s aiming. GPS location tracking and tamper detection mean you’ll know if someone moves your camera. At $139, the Pro is a must-have if you’re serious about scouting big bucks.

Head over to Moultrie to check out the full specs. This is the kind of gear that wins hunts.

I run a 2018 Hoyt Power Max, and keeping that bow trimmed down matters when you’re hunting. The Lite-1 by Trophy Ridge checks the boxes for weight and function.

Why I Like It

First, it’s light—which you’d expect from the name. But what sold me is the design. It mounts with just two bolts, and once you lock them down, it’s solid. No rattle, no drift, no headaches. The lights on the top and inside of the quiver are clever too; they help in low-light situations without being complicated.

Installation is straightforward. Two bolts, boom-boom, locked in place. If I need to pull it off, same process: boom, it’s free. Durable build means it stays put through years of hunting and practice.

The Lite-1 is quiet when you’re drawing and shooting. That matters when you’re close to a buck. Every detail counts in the stand.

The Whole Setup

My bow runs a 7-pin Fuse Archery sight and a Hoyt quad drop-away rest. The Lite-1 rounds out a clean, purpose-built hunting rig. If you want a solid, lightweight quiver that won’t complicate your setup, this is it.

Grab some American Country Outdoors apparel while you’re at it—we’ve got long-sleeves, t-shirts, hats, and more gear dropping soon.
