Not familiar with this one but have a buddy who runs WI cams and he loves them. Very good pics

I gave up after my 3rd Wildgame.

A friend bought a WGI TC from Tractor Supply that was on sale for $50. It was a little harder to set at first. Tooks some trial and error to work thru the long steps to set it up. Was very poor night time pic quality and day pics were good. Not sure on battery life though.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

I bought two of these last fall and they worked flawlessly. Trigger speed is fast enough to catch pics of coyotes trotting by. Time will tell I guess. Wildgame Cams at Academy

I bought one about 3 years ago that was junk. I decided to give them another try this year and my camera worked flawlessly. I put 8 AA lithium batteries in it in july and it is still running right now. Bought another around christmas just like it.

Or everytime you go check it, there are blank pictures, the batteries are dead, didn't take at night, seemed to miss pictures, limb got in the way and took a pic everytime the wind blew, card filled up, card wasn't formatted...happens to me all the time Just giving you a hard time  Good luck with the new camera

Went by Academy yesterday and picked up a Bushnell HD. Good reviews online, but we will see.
Also, they did not have any cams on the shelf. He had to pull them out of receiving and they were all in a cart. The guy told me they are now considered a seasonal item and will be brought out again in the fall. He did say to keep checking back, because what they do have will be going on sale as time passes, but you take your chances on waiting and someone else buying it. but they only had one Bushnell so I grabbed it.

I run several cameras. The best one I own is the new Moultrie black out camera. Very small profile, quick trigger, great battery life, and awesome pics. I have had some problems with earlier Moultrie models with the displays...but so far no problems with the Black Out.
