There is really no excuse for a basic game & trail camera sensor consuming that kind of power. Without a counter and other assorted goodies that could push one up to around 100 micro amps, an efficient sensor should run at about 35-65 micro amps. That would allow a 9 volt to last 4 months to a year or more.
I was thinking the same thing. I think it is just a battery eating piece of crap. Somebody should add this up: 6 AA batteries a week throughout the hunting season, what would that cost? The other problem is, I don't really think they are lasting even a week. The time before I only had the camera out 2 or 3 days, about 5 pics, and the batteries were dead.
Crappy attitude by this Stealth cam employee.......You have all been warned.
