Cameras, feeders, etc. etc. etc. take your pick.  Horrible company, and I'm from Louisiana

I had one that I set up facing to the east and when the sun came up and warmed the camera, flies would land on it and walk on it and set it off. I had lots of pictures of sunrises. Don't remember the make but it was $40.00 if that tells you anything.

Well On the way to Bearquest I stopped at cabelas and bought a Moultrie. We set it up under my tree stand I had lots of activity from bears left it there a full day and over night. Pulled it the next afternoon and couldn't wait to see the pictures. There were 5! 2 of them were us setting up the camera one of absolutely nothing and another 2 of me getting into and out of the stand.  We tried it all week with poor (no) results.
When I got home I tried it in my house for another week. We got a couple pics of our pets in a very high traffic area. Bottom line. I returned it and will Not buy another.

Well, you asked the question, and you already own the answer! I won't buy anything WGI!

From my personal experiences, Cuddyback is a close 2nd!

My Coverts have been the best ones I have ever had.

wildgame innovations are garbage.  Bought 2, got less than 60 days service

I have had several Moltries and have taken thousands of pics with them, only problem I had was one that would white out, I called Moultrie and they took it back and fixed it, shipped it back free. It is now 5 years old and going strong.

I have used many different brands of cameras from cheap $50 cams to $500 cams, wildgame innovations have given me the most problems overall but almost every camera I have has given me some sort of problem and had to be sent back for repair. I really enjoy using the cameras and looking at the pics but anymore with the issues I have been having with my cameras I'm almost at the point of saying the heck with them.

Don't know about the worst, haven't tried them all, but I really like my two Brownings.

Wildgame Innovations are the WORST camera I have ever used. The longest that I had one last was just under one month! I only use Stealth Cams now for 2 years with no complaints. One has been out for the entire 2 years and still going strong.

Never owned a wildgame innovation but i have owned moultrie and primos. I have had no trouble with the moultrie and I've owned it for about five years the primos on the other hand never worked out of the box so i sent it back and they repaired it and that time it lasted about a month.

My best camera is a Reconyx followed by a Covert black OPs ,then stealth. I do own two wild games that are junk. They take a bunch of white out pics ( when they take pics ).They same guys that own wildgame innovations also own Barnett crossbows. Which are also know to be garbage in the xgun world.

Hmm, I've been using wildgame cameras for years! Maybe I should switch? I have noticed that they don't catch all the pictures well

I'm with the Wildgame Innovations gang. Pure garbage. I'm sure there are a few who have them without any problems but for the most part they suck. I've decided that when my remaining two bite the dust, which shouldn't be that far off, I'm done with cameras. Just not worth the money.

I found a deal on WI cams. Bought 10 of them for a little over $30/each and thought of them as disposable at that price. Only had problems with one of them. The rest are going strong after two years.
