Wildgame Innovations - Horrible
 

I have purchases two Wildgame Innovation camera before yesterday. Both of them were defective right out of the box. I vowed I'd never buy another one.

Yesterday I wanted to get a trail cam before heading to the cabin today. I went to Dick's. All they had were Wildgame Innovations.
I decide to give them one more try. Put the camera out last night behind my house for a trial run. Pulled the card this morning and it's 37 pictures of just white.

What's up with these cameras? Anyone else have as bad luck as I have with them?

I've had a primos truthcam 60 since Christmas with no problems. Never tried wild game innovations, and I probably won't after reading about your troubles.

I'd be pretty pissed if I spent $100 or more on something and it was defective right out of the packaging.

What model did you get? I have had a wildgame innovations ir4 for two years now and it has been great. Best cam for the money in my opinion. I paid $69 for mine. Very good battery life, nice pics and good trigger speed. The only thing I don't like is it only takes one pic at a time, no burst mode. Scoot

This one was the 8.0 infrared. I forget the exact name. It was $119.00.

I just went to a different Dick's and exchanged it for a Moultrie.

The problem I've always found with the lower priced cameras is the quality is inconsistant. You might get one that works great for years and then again you might go through 3 or 4 to get a good one.

You get what you pay for.
I stick with the $200 and above cams and never have problems.
I have 1 Scoutguard, 2 Cudde Captures and 1 Reconyx and they're all rock solid cams.

Amen brother

The $50.00 Tasco 3.0 made by Bushnell is good, very good.
I have had 3 the first got stollen, the second one it made bad pictures, so I took it back and got the one I have now.
And it works very well.
Heres a sample.

I have a 5mp 1 and haven't had a problem. Only thing I don't like is it is loud when it takes a pic and the trigger time is slow. Here is a few pics I got off of mine.

The biggest problem we see with selling trail cameras is what was stated above, inconsistent quality. We do get the occasional returns of lower Bushnell trophy cams and a few others more then we get the higher priced ones returned. However this can be deceiving information because we sell a lot more of the lower end cameras then higher end.

I'd like to see a test with these cheap sub $100 cams and put them next to a Reconyx and see how many pics you are missing because of poor trigger.

Exchanged it for a $100 Moultrie and I'm very happy with it. Always had good luck with Moultrie.

Love my two wildgame trail cams, they have AWESOME customer service as well. They would have fixed you right up no questions asked had you given them the chance.

Didn't want to wait. WAs heading to the hunting camp that day. Needed a working camera.

Probably quite a few but I don't know that it matters. People who buy sub $100 cameras know they're not buying top of the line cameras. I refuse to pay $400 for a trail cam. I'll just miss pictures if that's the case.

That being said, I've have 0 troubles with the WGI cameras I've had.

I'm with you. It's fun seeing what kind of critters live in your woods but it ain't worth $400 a pop to me.

i have a x6c from wild game innovations and i love it maybe its hit an miss but mines perfect

I just got a new wildgameinnovations trail came a few weeks ago and had lots of nice pics of deer on it. Just a few false pics that i'm sure were blue jays eating corn and one white picture but overall, very happy with it. I use it on state land and wouldn't even think of puting a 200 dollar cam out there. I had one stolen last year and was glad I at least didn't spend a fortune on it. The IR cameras definately are the way to go too. This new one has the IR feature and after 150 shots still has a full charge in it.

I have several Wildgame Cameras. I also have the 5mp and have had no problems. You may want to check out the Chasing Game.com website. The website is solely evaluations of diffrent cameras may help you decide on another camera.

i have a moultrie D55 5.0 megapixels. i think i paid $120 for it. It takes great pictures and i have had nothing but good luck with it. i got it from dicks sporting goods. i also bought the stealth cam sniper for $185 which is a 8.0 megapixel from cabelas. that one also takes very good pictures.

I dont have any wild game cams. I have moultrie, bushnell, and primos. If I bought reconyx cams I wouldnt be able to afford very many of them. I would rather have several cheaper priced cams than a couple high dollar ones. I would expect reconyx cams to be of much better quality for the increase of cost.
