Can't find one that lasts longer than one deer season. Anyone had any luck with any?

I've had Moultrie, Wild Game and Primos. Had the most luck with Primos and Moultrie

Bushnell is all around a good camera for the money spent.

My Cuddebacks quit lasting, so I've switched to Browning. 18 months in, and I'm impressed. Battery life has been insane.

I swear cuddebacks have a time bomb in them that blows up right after warranty expires. But wild game innovation cameras have lasted great take good pictures and only cost 99 dollars.

I'm about to start my 5th season with UWAY VH200Bs. All 4 that I bought still work perfectly including one that was under water for 4 days.

I'm interested in seeing reviews on the new Muddy Cameras. They look similar to the Brownings and are priced competitively with WGI.

Bushnell has been the best I've had as far as battery life. Moultrie didn't last 2 seasons. Wildgsmes have lasted like 4 seasons now but battery life is terrible. I'd go with Bushnell.

I'm sure I'm gonna get ridiculed for this, but I have a wildgame innovations 8mp black out camera that had been working great for 4 or 5 years.

Bushnell E2 and Agressor on sale at Dicks


I don't know if you have a Dicks close by ( ) but you can get an additional $30 off if you go in the store and trade in an old cam... I got my oldest ones I had, couldn't find my old 35mm ones but the ones I traded in were some of the first digital cams I bought. You can only trade in two at a time though. I went three days in a row. Got 4 E2s and 2 Agressors. By far best deal going on. Ends the 8th.

I've been running Moultrie M880s (gen 1) the last couple years and they are pretty solid for the price. Had one start taking bad pictures at night, as you will read in some reviews, but they sent me a brand new camera no questions asked... Have also heard good things about Browning and Cuddeback cameras.

We bought 7 Brownings last year and 6 are still working. Takes good pictures and batteries last all season easily.

We bought 6 moultrie 3 years ago and 5 are still working. Batteries will last all season in these too.


We always buy the $100 models and hope for the best. If they last a few years, you got a good one. I personally look for the trigger speed as a gauge for which one to buy because IMO, all these cameras are about the same in durability.

Wild Game is complete crap!


They might make it two seasons.


We've had members had good luck w/ Browning so I just snagged two of them

Depends on how detailed you want to get. I have a primos bulletproof I bought on eBay for $39. It doesn't come with the date setting, but I don't really need that, just want to see what's around my feeders.

Covert makes a great camera. Bought 2 code blacks last that send pics to phone. Can't complain. Get lithium batteries.

If all the sudden you have non working cuddebacks then you need to reformat them accordingly and they should go back to working. It's a bullshite ordeal but it was better than me tossing 4 $200 cameras. Search on the cuddeback website and u should find the directions to complete.
