For bare bones, the Primos 35 has worked well for me. I have 5 of them, and they all still work after owning them for I think going on 4 or 5 years now. Biggest down side to the camera is the slight clicking noise it makes when it takes a picture. Other than that, I don't have any major complaints. If you are patient, you can get them for around $80, but $100 is the usual.
The above aforementioned web site is the place to check though. If you are truly getting the camera for scouting a hunting area, get one that does time lapse with a wide angle lens. The Plotwatcher was the original, but several brands have that technology now. The technology truly watches a hunting area, while a game camera only watches a single trail, food pile, salt pit or scrape.
