I am giving up on game cams

[DCS]

To hell with 'em.

I am sick and tired of them not ever working, I have bought top of the line, cheap ones, etc sent them back to factory time and time again, tried different brands and it is the same old thing.  They last for 6 months and something happens.  I think everyone of them are built at the same Chinese slave labor factory.  I am just going to go hunting and what walks out, walks out!

In total we have owned at least 10 Moultries, and have had pretty good luck with them. We had to send our older ones for new displays, but at that point we had used them 24/7 for about 4 years. A few years ago we got 5 of the newer style that use AA batteries, and we have had trouble from two of those, they started taking completely dark pics at night. Customer service told me to reset them and that helped for a while, but they started doing it again. That's the only trouble we've had. Our cameras have literally taken 10's of thousands of pics. I will never own another Stealth cam, or Wildview. Those crapped out on us before they got used hard. CuddeBack doesn't offer enough personalization for me, on top of the cost. I will stick with Moultries.

I bought one. It lasted one season. That was another one of those $100 dollar lessons.

I have completely given up on Moultries and have sworn to never use them again. After having 4 or 5 of them, the displays would go out after about a month, send them back to Alabster, Alabama, get it back, use it for another month, display would go out, send it back, get it back, send it back, get it back and on and on and on...... So, then i switched to Wildgame or wildview or whatever it is called, the batteries stop making contact on two of them, the flash has stopped on two of them, a little metal tab has broken in the battery compartment on my newest one. All I ever do is work on the dam things.

Here in lies the problem. For every brand out there, you will have no problem finding a friend that has had a bad experience with that brand. I have noticed that the CuddeBack brand has a better following than most but have you seen the price? And they still have their fair share of problems. I realize that you can see what's coming to your feeder or area, but pics of Deer at night are completely useless. But by the same token, if you aren't getting any good Deer on your cam it kinda kicks your confidence in the junk. I think from now on, I'll just let the critters surprise me.
