[mrklean]

Went to check the camera friday was dead figured maybe the battries died nope my truth cam 46 is dead looked online looks like im not the only one whoes 9 month old camera just dies. It looks like they are good about replacing them but still not what i want during the middle of the season

[Boar]

I replaced mine no prob. Didnt have a reciept but i talked to CS of the place I bought it an they emailed me a copy of my proof of purchase an primos replaced itno prob.

[sticknstring]

Lots of known issues with the 46 - hope they get you taken care of! Nothing worse than a dead camera.

a stolen one is worse...

[Boar]

The one they replace mine with was the New AN IMPROVE VERSION WITH LONGER BAT. LIFE DIDNT HAVE AN ISSUW this season at all.

My wildgame black flash small camera died this year two got it 4 months ago

[mrklean]

I almost bought a wildgame for a second camera this year until I read the horrible reviews I should have read the reviews about my first camera and how bad they were but I got a newer better camera in the end so it was worth it

[Boar]

[Hoyt4]

Primos has some of the best CS around. Glad it all worked out for you.

a stolen one is worse...

those monster truth cams are so easy to spot in the woods too. I had the same one stolen twice (first thief was a dummy, the sheriff caught him) from two different tracts of private land

I have had several problem with cameras as well. I have several Wildgame 5.0 cameras and few cuddyback 3.0's What i dont like about the cuddybacks is that the night pictures are bad with 3.0 meg. If I keep the batts fresh i will get some decent pictures. Other than that the cuddybacks are good. My wildgames..... It just seems like there are good and bads one in the bunch. One of mine will take about 20 pictures on brand new batteries and then just die. I have a hard time even putting it in a spot that I like because I can not rely on it. Most of my cams are SD card sensitive. Ive tried them all! SD, SDHC all brands. recently one of my older wildgames started blinking strange when it sensed motion. just a steady red blink about every 15 seconds vs a rapid blinking any time there is movement. Ive yet to figure out whats wrong with that one. Before i leave my cameras I need to make sure it takes and stores a picture. Ive made the switch to lithium this year. Very impressed with lithium vs regular. Anyways I was just thinking about this the other day and I believe that these cameras are made cheep and im noticing them to last about 3 years and then its time to donate them to younger hunters/family and upgrding for myself. Most of my cameras are in the woods 9+months if not year round. fencline cams come down in winter and dont get reset every time. For the amount of effort I put in to my trail cams I want cameras I can trust. Its a bad feeling checking a camera after a month to see only 5 pic and the thing turned off.....

I bought two truth cams and returned them both and bought two more bushnell trophy cams... don't even know why I tried something different...

[mrklean]

I have liked my newer much smaller truth cams so far ill give itba year

[CrewJones]

I have them all and my moultree (sp) seems to be the best one for me. my wildgame cam black flash i got this year was junk made cheap and GM says after 30 days i have to deal with the manufacturer so i emailed them. After watching the guys who own this company on there TV show Im actually 75 % sure they are honorable and will take care of the problem or have policys in place to fix this. The margins in these camera's seem to be very great so im sure they assume 3-4 % return rate may even be higher.

I had 2 truth cams before never the small ones but both died those kind of deaths when you hike back and leave them in "the spot" only to dream about all the photo's of booners, then you return to find the camera dead, with 2 pix one from testing at home to make sure all is right, and one of nothing just before it dies ..... GRRRRRR

anyway i believe alot of this has to do with the conditions we expect these cameras to work and the Price point we feel is granted for these situations. Me personally i'd rather have 5 game camera's than one 500$ unit. Because even if you could guarantee its life, or lifetime warranty, that would be the first one to get stolen.

[mrklean]

I have heard wildgame has terrible service

[Laska]

I have 5 wildgames and 2 are elite 8's from this year, no problems and great pics.... Musta gotta lemon... Love the battery packs they sell, 3000 pics and still going on 3/4 battery life left...

[elusivecrappiecatcher]

My truth cam 46 is great. Never had a problem and after 1.5 years now I finally had to replace the batteries.

Wildgame Inovations cams are horrible from what I hear.

[CrewJones]

It did take them a couple days but they got back to my email with this response.:

Wildgame:

You can send it in to us for a replacement. Call us at 800-847-8269 with the model number so we can issue you a RMA number for the return.

So I will go through with this, it seems very easy and painless

[CrewJones]

they sent me a new camera that came this weekend. Im very satisfied with the customer service especially because the cameras are at the lowest price point.

Well now I have one I know will work for next year.
