If there is obvious signs of activity around the Feeder,and no pictures on the memory card then there's something wrong with the Game Camera.Yes or No?

Could be something wrong with it, could be that it is too far away, too high, too low...set it up, then walk around in front of it to see if and when it snaps pics.

That or... Someone came by, saw it took their picture and erased it so you wouldn't know they were there.
Make sure you don't have it too far from the activity to trigger.

A lot of times it's the SD card and not the camera. (SD card not formatted right, or cam won't take that size or kind of card...stealthcam is the worst when it comes to this)

(SD card not formatted right, or cam won't take that size or kind of card...stealthcam is the worst when it comes to this) i will agree with this...some cameras not all will have the smallest detection zone for some reason with the occational zero pic...please do yourself a favor when choosing cameras...with all my money on cams the reconyx is the best...follwed closely to bushnell...but ouch reconyx is crazy expensive but wont let u down

i take hundreds if not a few thousand photos over a 30 day window. Last weekend, i had two young bucks come in the feeder pen for 5 min or so, went to grab the card after dark and the two bucks were not on there. I have many pics on the card but just goes to show that your cams do not capture 100% activity. Now, if have 0 pics, i'd say you have a problem with the cam, angle, cards.. somthing.. just have to test until you find the route cause..

The Camera was taking pictures just fine up until August.The last two trips to my place i just havent seen any pictures on it. I was doing work on my control Unit right in front of it,and it didnt even take pictures of me.

There's your problem.....kidding. Probably with your camera. You have to remember: you're putting an electrical device out in the woods to the elements being, heat, moisture and cold weather. They won't last forever. Camera are hit or miss. Try customer service if you have some time.

I build wood boxes to put around my cameras in order to keep the rain and sun off. It seems to make them last significantly longer.

Make sure the SD card is not locked. Don't ask me how I know this but it can happen.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

These things are just small computers that take pictures. And like any computer they can freeze and need a reboot. I had a stealth cam that was intermittently freezing so I called stealth cam tech support. They had me remove the batteries and then turn on the machine for about 5 minutes to completely discharge all capacitors to make sure the computer memory was completely dumped. Restarted camera and it has worked OK for several months now.

if there is animal sing at the feeder and no pics it just means you own a Wildgame Innovations game camera.

Man thats bad when you miss an animals singing at the feeder if there is animal sing at the feeder and no pics it just means you own a Wildgame Innovations game camera.
I'd ask him if he's pregnant. He missed a s__tload of periods. I'll take "things that look like a uterus" for $200 Alex.
