Going on 4 years with my wildgame cams and none have malfunctioned and all work perfect in cold weather 30 deg and under. My buddy has 20+ of these cams , Bullblaster on here has some also
What do you get for battery life on those.

I checked the cams this morning and figured out I had made a mistake. Camera 1 had 4455 pictures and cam 2 had 1200 pictures.  :o
I had left them set on time lapse. D'oh!!
Good thing I'm testing them at home. This is my first set of trail cams and I prefer to make my bonehead mistakes here. I erased everything, programmed them to go on motion, and reset them in the back yard.
The picture quality was good, but I'm going to wait to get some pics of the dog or other critters before I post them up for comparison.

depends on batteries and which models...some run on 12 dbl A's and some on 8...Lithiums will usually last April to november and sometimes longer, but I like to replace with new batts come cold weather if they have been running in cams all season long.

some of the best performing cams are not even on there..wild game innovations...By far the best cams I OWN..same with all my buddies. All we buy now..work flawlessly in cold weather and thats one of the biggest selling points around here. Thats the failure of 99% of the cams I deem junk
Which model do you prefer? Wild Game Innovations Crush 10X Lights Out Hunting Trail Camera?

I'm a little baffled about how well the lithium batteries are lasting in my camera, a Browing Strike Force.  I've had it in operation since December, capturing around 250-300 pictures and the battery life is still showing 100%.

Yeah, they last forever. Especially the cameras that don't take a ton of pictures.

Still can figure why they are so big? Seems a cigarette pack size would be plenty big.  Tough to hide these bulky dinosaurs.

What cams are bulky ? I wouldn't consider any of my cams bulky . Most of the cams size is to hold batteries. Until a manufacture can come out with a lithium ion rechargeable cam that they could shrink the housing down

I remember seeing this beast in a youtube video. It's big, but it's shaped like a log, so.............
