SUCK. You would be better off sitting out there for 2 weeks straight with a disposable camera. You would take more shots and better quality than those POS. Go with a primos or cuddyback

Their cameras suck unless you use the video mode. The video mode works pretty well, their pictures aren't too good unless the deer is standing PERFECTLY still.

I will say that they are pretty good when it comes to customer service though. You send a camera back (as I have done twice) and they send you a new one. If they no longer carry it they send you the better newer model.

I have had real good luck with mine. All of them were bought for $60 at a closeout sale, but they have worked great. At 4mp, they arent as good as my trophy cams, but i am glad i spent $180 to get 3 of these and not $190 for one trophy cam. They ARE great with customer service. I had the infrared flash go out on one and they replaced it. My only complaints with them is that the flash needs to be just a little brighter. I have to put them alot closer to the trail.

Funny you say that. I've had one for 3 years that has done fine. I put it out for a week this year in a spot that has more sign than you can imagine and not one picture. Took it home and it worked fine. My buddy called me tonight and gave me the exact same scenario for his. Did Wildgame Innovation put a hex on their cameras effective for fall of 2011? :?

I had that happen to me twice....I think the memory card I used both times was messed up or something causing it to not take pictures.

It's not the memory card with mine. I took it home, put it up in several places and it worked fine. It just don't work when I put it out in the woods for some stupid reason. I just bought a new StealthCam Prowler XT. Maybe it will do better.

I got a Prowler a month or so ago. I like it...I always put it on video, it has audio with it which is really cool.

I agree the Wildgame Innivation cameras suck. But from my terrible experince this us my learning. They WILL NOT WORK if your SD card is bigger than 2 GB. I tried 4 and it shut the cameras down.
Also you have to use the strongest battery available for them to run!

With this being said the deer has to damn near dance a jig in front of the camera for it to take a picture!

Good luck!

Also what is the body color of all your cameras?
