Unlike some, my Wild Game Inn has been great. Yeah, I get alot of grass moving pics, but for the price, plus the fact it's going on it's 4th year.... I'll keep it and my Stoeger.
Also got a Stelth 540 last year, it does good. Both have good flash range- out to 45'.

I love my moultrie m80. 4 or 8 aa batteries. I put in 8 Li batteries and after 2000 pics, still says full power. Supposed to last a year. Great ir pics too. Takes up to a 32 gig card. Time laps photos, video, temp, moon phase, time, easy set up. Love it? Got it for $120.

I have a IR4 WGI and it has been pretty good not the most sensitive by any means really kinda slow on triggering speed but battery life is good have a good amount of pics I would not say it is the best by any means but it gets the job done for now. Had it a year so far. Takes pretty good pics overall kinda bad at night.

I have two of the WGI IR models and have no complaints. The battery life has been much better than I expected. I purchased both of them for less than $90.00 at the end of season last year.

Have always had good luck with my wildgame innovations camera until yesterday evening I went to look at the pics, and it had only taken a couple of pictures in two weeks. When i took it to my computer in the truck it took pics then so idk?

The bushnell scouts are AWESOME cameras, and they are small and the batteries last forever!

Seems like everyone has the hit and miss with any particular brand... trying out the Truth cam 60's now. So far so good. A month in the field so far and batts (regular alkaline) are still strong after approx 1400 stills.

I run a wildgame inn s-4 and a primos truth 35 and both work just fine. The Primos is by far the better camera and will recommend to anyone. The wildgame camera does what I need it to do and pics are better than I expected. As stated before buy it from academy and take it back when it breaks. Get a new one no questions asked, I don't know why anyone would buy one from anywhere else.

I am lucky enough to have 2 of the older Wildgame IR4's that still work good after 3 years. I tried to buy another one last year and went through 6 of them and they were all crap! Thank GOD for Academys return policy. They did something to last years models that that just did not work. I bought 3 of the Primos Truth cam 46's and really liked them. Very flexible with good shutter speeds. Very few with blowing grass pics because there is 3 sensititivity settings. Only problem is the pic delay settings. It goes from 5 sec, 10 sec, 30 sec, 60 sec and then jumps to 30 minutes. I do have solar chargers and feeder batteries on all of them so the standard battery life is not a big issue for me.

Had an old Bushnell Trail Scout 2.1 that worked great for three years until I fried it. Now I'm running a Primos Truth Cam 35 and am very happy so far.

Because it took pictures every minute until the card was full regardless of if there was an animal in the pic. The IR flash range was poor as well. This was the second Bushnell I have tried. When they first came out with them I tried one and returned it as well. I guess I'll stick with Primos and Cuddeback for now.


I second that. There is a ton of problems with the 2010 Bushnell Trophy Cams. I bought one those $129 specials from Cabelas and had the same problem... Runaway Cam. Filled up in a day and a half. I should have went to the Chasingame forums and read the terrible quality problems people were having with them.

Here is a link you can follow. http://www.chasingame.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=38&sid=978d6c7a2d720afd03178020d7843451

scroll down and read through the posts and you can see they had a bad year. Sounds like Bushnell is getting it worked out, but sad cause they had great cameras. Hope they get away from the new supplier and get it worked out.

I returned the Camera and got a moultrie M80. I love my Moultrie I40 but have had it so many years the sun is starting to break down the case a bit. Still a great camera but will be relegated to the feeder only and no more scouting. We'll see how the M80 does scouting though.
