Anybody have any experience with these?. Price is being slashed $159 to 99 in the upcoming fall hunting sale at Cabela’s.

Just don’t get a yearling elk on camera and you should be fine.

I have 6 of their normal game cameras that were by far the cheapest on the market, and we run 8 of their spin feeders that were by far the cheapest on the market

This board guaranteed be they would all blow up and cause rectal bleeding because how bad a company it is blah blah blah

Zero issues at all 4 years later on all cameras and feeders. So, I would trust their cellular cameras

I think outdoorsman more than others get fired up with name brands and high dollar items

It’s more about understanding what you’re buying. Wildgame is by no means the only company that does this, but they’re one that slaps their brand on the cheapest thing Asia can make. Some cheap shite will last forever, the next unit made will break in a week. If you’ve been burned by it you have a different perspective.

I run $30 tascos now because they’re simple and its not the end of the world if one of a dozen cams I have out fails. If there’s any issue with one it goes straight into the trash, I don’t even waste my time trying to contact customer service or return it. If there was somewhere I absolutely needed to know the camera is gonna work I’d pay for quality and raise hell to the manufacturer if there was an issue.

Take a look at the new Tactacam Reveal cellular camera.

$99 at Cabelas with options for AT&T and Verizon.

Affordable, no contract plans.

I was actually looking at the same today. Looks good. I recently bought the spypoint link micro... have done everything and camera has signal and is taking pics but im not receiving on my phone.

Would be curious about the wildgame cell cam. I have 5 of their cheap 49 dollar ones and they are actually probably my favorite, most reliable ones I own.

I’ll just do without before I patronize WGI.

Have you put the latest firmware update on the camera? Had an evo do the same. I updated it , now its working fine. 3 weeks ago spypoint had a server issue, made everything screwy.

No disrespect but every time I buy something from Wildgame innovations, I feel like I am replacing it by the end of the year. That said I will just pay a little more for better quality rather than buy it twice. Instead of Academy shop at Cabelas or Bass Pro. If your in BR go to Bowie's on perkins they have a big selection was looking at them yesterday!

I don't have experience with that product, but I quit buying their brand years ago. Cheap junk. That's coming from a guy that will buy Harbor Freight stuff in a second.

I hate name brands and love cheap. Everything I’ve ever bought from WGI (cameras and feeders)has been completely and utter shite. I don’t think you have any idea what you’re talking about.
