Anybody have luck with the Wildgam Innovations cams? I bought one a few years ago, set it out and saw that it had captured photos. I put the SD card in my computer and I get nothing. I tried another SD card and the same thing happened, so i returned it to the store. I have avoided them ever since. Anybody have success with them? A local store had a good sale on them and thought about picking one up.

The Moultrie is an A-5 (5MP) , One of the Wildgame Innovations is a Blade 3 (3MP), the other is an N2x Red 2 (2MP) . The one that I think takes the best pictures in the Blade 3. Only thing I don't care for with the Wildgame Innovations that I have is that they don't have a burst mode so you get one picture every 15 seconds with the Blade 3 and only 1 every 30 seconds with the N2X. The Moultrie can be a little blurry at times but does have the burst mode which can be very helpful.

I bought a Primos Truth Cam 35 in mid July, and for 2.5 months it worked AWESOME! I set it on 5 shot burst for the first month(would not recommend that in a high movement area) ended up getting almost 12000 pictures the first week!!! switched it to 3 shot and it worked perfect(got about 4000 a week). My cousin had a Wildgame innovations(not entirely sure which model) that was set up on the same area and it got 1/2 the pictures I did. However, the big difference between the two was that in mid October water somehow got inside mine and it stopped taking pictures, where his is still taking them! (we had 14+ inches of snow and -40 weather last week, just checked the cam today when we were squirrel hunting and its still snapping away) I don't fully know how water got in there, only idea is that mine you access from the side where his you access it from the bottom so its probably a lot harder for water to get in there.
I did read a few weeks ago that putting silicone moisture packs(the kind you find in your new box of shoes)inside where the batteries and SD card is, can go a long ways in helping to keep moisture out of your trail cam. I was smart enough to buy the protection plan at bass pro so they are supposed to be sending me a new one in the mail shortly.
