Anyone have any Wildgame Innovations cameras? What is your experience with them?

Yes. They sent me 6 to try out around 8-9 years ago. The largest bodied one and one of the next size down are still alive and kicking. They work fine and the pictures are every bit as good as my 600.00 plus recon's. These use a flash for night pics and they are very good.
Bear in mind these are older so I'm not sure about the current models.

I have around 10 of them I use for work and for scouting. They are ok for the money that I pay for them
I get them on sale for around 40 bucks at Menards. In my opinion they out perform others in the 40 -60 dollar
Range. Stay away from the cheaper muddy and spypoints.

I like the cheap Wildgames. I've had better luck with them than with the more expensive ones. I like cheap cameras because I can run more of them. Also the first thief that sees it is going to take it.

I have a couple of their lightsout models. Good camera for the money. They're quiet and their flash is undetectable. Only camera in that price range that I can get pics of coyotes without spooking them.

Thanks everyone for your help and your experiences with them. The one thing that I was hoping to hear that battery life is good.

The largest camera of theirs I have takes 4 D batteries and as said above it is still bullet proof after all these years. By mistakenly having a wind blown object in front of it I have found many many hundreds of pictures on it and the batteries still doing fine. Our cold weather and all.
No matter the brand battery life depends on how many how often pics or video you set it to take.
Mine are older units but none of my better newer units get any longer battery life.

Don't forget, pretty much no matter what you buy you can buy a rechargeable battery for around 20 bucks and a small solar screen for the same and you will not need further batteries. Put it on the ground and wire up to camera. Done.

Thanks again Sir. I appreciate that very much.

I will order a few like that one I mentioned above for 23 bucks apiece and free shipping. I guess if they only work for a year or two it will be worth it at that price.

Snowy I have several of their cams and have some of about every other maker too, and for the money they do just fine I leave them out for 5 months in Illinois and the batteries are still kicking. They are definitely better cameras out there but you can buy 3-4 of these for the price of one

I also meant to say that I've had some for 5 years that are still working, and super easy setup

Thought I was a good trapper until I started trapping coyotes......
Thought I was a good bowhunter until I targeted mature bucks....

Great points RM. the largest bodied camera of theirs I have ( remember mine ar older ) still works great and has a small view screen. Great feature as I can scroll thru the images on site and delete unwanted or switch out the chip. Turn on shut the cover and walk away. Maybe newer cams have those built in views too, I know my more expensive all the way up to my recon's do not.

I would love to share that company I ordered them from but I might have been scammed. I ordered bookmarked and went hunting. I came home and went to that site and said there is no such site. They said they would email to confirm and I got no email and the money is already a done deal gone. The name on the credit card was a completely different name then what I had ordered from. I did make a mistake on the price what I told you in the post, it is $23.99 a camera.

I guess I will see what happens. I hate doing business online because I trust everyone and that isn't a good thing to trust some doing business online. It maybe all legit but I kinda doubt it now.

I will update on how things turn out.
