The list of people with issues with WGI products is still growing. They are under the Synergy Outdoor umbrella, hopefully not everyone in Synergy has the same issues. Last email I got was Oct7 saying they received my email again, nothing since. And the wait continues.

I am losing Faith and Fast, I will work on something 2 times and then Im done!! I shot a lawnmower with a Shotgun once..After my second trip down 350 miles and cameras messed up and feeders not working, and I dont need the whole battery quality speech, turn this, hold your tongue advice. I will take that under advisement..Im done and Hell I have a Family Member who is one of the Owners and the price is right, but I had rather pay for something that works and will perform than struggle w made in China and dealing with Kids..Sorry was not a Happy Camper last trip..I have that one Sweeney I got in a swap deal and its money, Have not a Ounce of problem throwing money into something that works, just like Weapon, if I pull a Trigger I wont to hear Boom Boom, I do not have the Time and patience to work on cheap S**t

Dang Sniper, I hope you never get PO'd at me.

Yeah, I agree with you and find that a lot of "popularly priced" stuff turns out to be junk. And when it comes to game cams most of them have about a 50/50 chance of working. WGI seldom even makes the 50%. My biggest disappoint over the recent years has been Cuddeback. They used to be great but are now hit and miss.

Just wish I could afford Reconyx.

I hear you Amigo, very Frustrating. It seems there all going to cheaper parts, it ruins my trip to walk up see a feeder not working and cameras also. We had some 6 volt American Hunters on a Bow Lease in Cherokee that was Church and GREAT Customer Service. Guess on the positive side I saved some money on Corn, two feed pens can get expensive..

I have had problems with their feeders and finally gave up after several attempts to contact them only to be on hold forever. Sad

Still have heard nothing back from customer service. I refuse to call them everyday and beg them to stand behind their product. I try and send them a email once a month to make sure they are still in business.

I've had a few problems with WGI products. But never have had a problem with support services. I work right around the corner from them and I have taken cameras back and they have replaced them. Maybe I was lucky I don't know.

Just wanted to remind everyone as the season is about to start, if you need game products that work, function properly and a company that provides customer service, make every attempt to stay away from wild game products. Their products regularly do not work as they should and to make matters even worse their customer service is even worse. Feel free to check out their reviews even the ones on their face book site and their own website and you will be amazed at the number of people who have had these same or similar issues.

Live and learn, I guess. I bought a WGI thinking I was upgrading. Night time photos are terrible! I will unload this and try again!

I bought one of their 12 volt feeder control units the season before last. I always use premium units but I had a old one acting up so I needed a replacement quick so I went with the WGI. POS would drain a 12 volt battery in less than 1 month!! So at the start of last season I put a solar panel on it thinking that would fix the problem. WRONG!!! The battery would last a tad bit longer but still would be drained pretty quick. Then about half way through the season the timer went out on it. Replaced that as well but this year I will be replacing the whole dang POS!!! Now I know why I don't mess with cheap feeders anymore!

Bought two WGI cameras. Should have known better, cheap plastic interior, battery terminals on both broke the very first day. I stay away from WGI as well as Moultrie cameras.

Want a great game camera... I have 7 Bushnell HD Trophy Cams and to say that they are amazing would be selling them short. Customer service also gets an A+++++++++

I've heard the same thing about WGI... I was going to buy a few of their feeder lights until I heard they totally suck.

That's why it is named Wild Game, It is totally unpredictable and you can't count on it.
