Default wild view

has anybody ever used these? Wally World has them for sale at 59 dollars,,I was just thinking that if they take a good enough picture to tell what you are looking that I would snag up the two they had left...then I would have a camera for both areas I am going to hunt.

they are alright. The deer needs to be close, the flash is really weak. But it takes decent pics. Also set it up where a deer will stand of come at the camera cause walking broadside past it you'll miss a bunch.

I had one and took it back. Reaction time wasnt quick enough but I guess if you had a salt lick it would work.......

I have a .3 Wildview. It takes Good photos in the day time but nite shots only have a 15ft flash range, The deer has to be really close to get a decent photo at nite,

There is no date or time stamped on the photo, so you will have to guess what time it was taken. Yes, the trigger time is really slow so you must set it in areas where a deer will linger and not walk by.

I will show you some examples of photos taken with mine.

I have the Wildview Extreme II. It works better than the wildview.
My father boughtthe Wildviewand it takes some good pics for the money but the other day I pulled the card and had 755 pics with only a couple deer. The rest where false triggers. It also does not give the time or date as windwalker7 has said in his post. I would go for the Wildview Extreme II just for the times and date. Sportsmans guide has them for 89 if you are a member I think Cabelas also has them for this price.I always try to point the camera to the north to help prevent false triggers from the sun.

I like my Wildview Extreme II a lot. Think it takes nice pics for the money (paid $99 plus $30 for a memory card). If I have one beef, it is the slow trigger time. But throw down a salt block or put it near a food plot. Here is an example of the decent quality pics you get for the price.
