Hope this qualifies...you find out your hunting spot has a new owner when you pull up and your food plot has been turned into a roundbale with the rest of the hayfield it bordered, and the new owner's hayfarmer takes a dump under your feeder on camera when you check the sd card back at the house...it was a bad day cause it was a great free hunting spot. realmad

I would have taken that pic and posted it at the local feed stores and tractor dealers!

lots of birds. big ones and little ones and a think a extinct one.

the dew on the night pictures show those cross the path spider webs very good.

feeder lights won't let the IR go off and get dark pictures.

#1-Somebody thinks they need them more than you do and just take them. That is the biggest problem I have had with two of them. mad The rest of the problems seemed minor compared to that.

A new house is going up in your development and a Mexican takes a shakah-kahn with your camera on "video mode".....That's actually when it goes right. (who's camera was that btw?)

You actually fall for all the hype behind cuddeback and buy 2 and your $60 wildgame innovation is a thousand times better.

Found one of mine off it's mount and face-down in manure this morning. Guess the cattle have been rotated back to the ranch...

Also found one to have no memory card in it (good job doubledrop14).

when the cows decide to rub against the same post that the camera is mounted to and you get a glimpse of the "dark side" of another cow

Better yet when the cows decide your camera is a salt lick

I have a WGI camera that has a flaw I actually like. The pir is so sensitive it take a picture about every 2 minutes during the day. I don't know what is triggering it but actually it is behaving like a plot watcher in the day and works normal at night. A 16 GB memory card will fill up in about a month. When something moves across my property a few hundred yards out (in the crp) I will get a picture of it.

Friend goes into blind to hunt. Sees a Axis Buck. Aims with buck fever at Axis buck. Pulls trigger and blows your game camera into a hundred pieces with a direct hit.

The worst cameras of today are a million times better than the best cameras just 10 years ago. Anyone remember putting in 35mm film???

Yep. I can remember having to line up a sending unit on the laser and a reflecting unit. Two piece TC systems with an active motion sensor. I still prefer the older TC when the digital cameras in them much better quality pics with the flash.
