NEW GAME CAMERA X6C WILDGAME CAMERA

[newred]

I am excited to see these at almost half the price they were a few months ago. I was going to buy one but decided to wait until next year or until clearance sales at end of season. Seriously not even two  months ago this same camera w6xac from amazon was 89.99 that is almost half off. So any of you guys that ordered one from amazon... do they work well and when were they manufactured?

My brother in law ordered 2 of these and i ordered one myself, all three had a manufacture date of 8/10/2011. Hopefully the whiteout has been fixed. havent had a chance to get it in the field yet.

thanks... just pulled the trigger on two of them. I wonder if they are just trying to clear them out it says this model was made especially for amazon.com.

I bought two of these for pre-season archery elk scouting last year.  They worked great, except the minor white-out issue.  White out only seemed to occur during pre-dawn or dusk timeframes (i.e., LEDs flashed, during low light conditions and white-out was due to over exposure).  But, I had hundreds of pictures and the cams were in the woods for over two months and I still had plenty of battery life left after I shot my elk on opening day!  Cam took a pic of the elk just before I released.  Wish it was in "record" mode and I would have captured the arrow passing thru my elk!

I just got mine today and it has the same manufacture date. So hopefully there won't be a white out issue with it. I'll try to get it out in the woods tomorrow. I've got an elk trail in mind that will be just right for it!

Got mine today as well with the 08/10/11 manuf. date.  Can't wait to set it up tomorrow.

I gotta say, I sure do like the small size of it! It didn't look that small in the picture. I got batteries in it and got it programmed last night. I wish I could afford to get a couple more. If this one takes good pictures and IF Amazon still has them in a couple months, I probably will order a couple more then. Another thing I really like is that they take AA batteries. All my other cameras take D's or C's. AA's are a lot cheaper.

Yeah, I was surprised at how small it is.  (that's what she said).  I originally ordered 2 but backed out and only got one.  going to set it up along the driveway to see how it does.

Just ordered 2 after 2 of mine were stolen last year. Would like to put one up in the same place and hide one to see if they do it again but would probley lose both.

So far no white out issues.

So far no white out issues.

That's good to hear. Do you have any pictures yet worthy of posting, so we can see?

By the way, welcome to the hunt-wa board!

[hoyt2110]

nothing on the wildgame worth posting. Ill be putting them up in the hills tomorrow so maybe next week.

Well I got the Wildgame cam set up but changed my mind and didn't set it up on the elk trail, but instead I decided to put it on the same tree with my Primos 46 so I can compare them. So I packed in another 25 pounds of apples and put the WGI cam right above the Primos. It will be interesting to see how they compare. A couple things I noticed with the WGI cam is that there is no option for a 3 shot or 5 shot burst like the Primos, but that shouldn't be a problem because the delay between pictures is 15 seconds. The other thing that is different from any other camera I have is that the door to access the battery compartment and the programming buttons is on the bottom, and because of that you have to remove the camera from the tree to do any programming or to change the batteries. Which is kind of a hassle but it turned out to be not so bad as I just took off the lower bungee cord and tilted the bottom of the camera up. I will post some pictures in a couple weeks.

I set mine up right under my old Moultrie fence cam on the same tree and put a bunch of ground corn and a couple of old apples in front of them.  I also want to compare the pics.  With the corn I'll probably get a bunch of raccoon and quali pics.  We'll see.

I was getting good pictures ubtil I put out corn then it was crows and blue jays.
