I've got a Bushnell Trophy Cam set up at my dacha for a couple of seasons now, and it works well for this, but the main thing is - don't just go by the brand, focus on specs that suit fall conditions. You need a camera with solid infrared night shooting (so the animals won't get spooked by the flash), high resolution of at least 12-16 megapixels, fast shutter speed, and a robust battery - in the cold autumn months batteries drain quick.
Pay attention to the motion sensor trigger time - it shouldn't be more than 0.5 seconds, otherwise you'll miss fast animals. Cameras with 4K video are pricey, but if you're after serious footage, it's worth it. Also check the field of view: for wildlife monitoring you need at least 80-100 degrees.
