Wildview IR trail cam??
« on: September 15, 2010, 05:09:51 PM »
I am looking for any one with experience with the Wildview IR cam.   Would like any positive or negative experiences with this cam.   I am considering purchasing one, but have no experience with trail cams at all, so any info will be appreciated.

I have 4 or had 4 now have 3 of the cheep flash type from Cabellas 2 for $100OR SOMETHING.. They work for telling you how big when and where the deer are... not the highest quality pics tho... I had one stole due to the flash i'm guessing... but i'm only out like 65 bucks with SD card and batteries.... u can buy multiple for the cost of a good one.... If you have "the spot" and just want to know who is showing up buy a better camera... if you are locating deer... probably a best bang for buck...
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Don't have one but.... if it is anything like their range finders, it will be garbage.  Had 2 of their range finders and neither of them worked right.  :twocents: i suggest spending a few bucks more on something proven.  Wildveiew is still trying to make a name for themselves.  Good luck whichever way you decide to go.

Thanks for all the input.   I did some looking around and decided on a Primos Truth Cam 35.   Price wise, it came in right at halfway betwen the Wildview flash and the Wildview IR.   Tested it in complete darkness with a mounted bobcat of mine and the pics turned out pretty good.   Will be putting it out over my next set of days off, so if I get anything I will be posting some pics in a couple weeks.

Again, thanks for all the help.
