I should have bought two more at $49, I did some research before buying and everyone said the wildview will do as good if not better for your money. That's all a person could ask for right. Here's a prime example. Just brought these in the other nite and wowzer. I was surprised to see all the bucks on this property as I shot and lost a 200 plus buck last season here.Property is only 45 acres and I've seen 7 different bucks ranging from 130 to 180ish. Neat way to scout. I'm hooked.Enjoy. These were taken at 15 yards

Here's a couple more, I find I didn't reset the time and date after the 1st use so I got to remember to do that when I put them out again.

I own 26 wildview cams, overall pretty good for the money, but do have some issues..

What are your issues with the wildview cams if you don't mind me asking. I love mine ,the only issue I have is having to reset the clock and date each time I take out the batteries to replace them.

Those are great pictures Youngfart! Good luck bagging one of those boys.

I'm going to assume at that price they are 35 mm cameras?

And, if you disconnect the power, you're going to have to reset the clock unless there's a lithium back up in the unit.

Keep us posted.

Mike, it's a digital that I put in a one gig memory card so it doesn't die out on me as I heard they will falter and lose the pictures if you don't have enough memory in them . Got it last year after the season for $49.00 ,I see Cabelas has them on for $109 right now.

Would I be correct assuming you have the 3.1 megapixel Youngfart?

I sell those in my shop for $75 a piece. They are the 300000 pixel models.

Well, I got one of the Wildview 3.1's on Ebay for $ 60 US and ended paying about $ 85 after taxes...not too bad a price.

I took a few test shots in the house. No deer, just me and my dog!

I have a question about the flash when used indoors. All the flash pictures turn out like this:

Is this because it's indoors? I'm going to hang it outside with the flash too just to see.

But, here's some shots without the flash!

Hung it on a tree in the backyard tonight and got a few pics of my dog that didn't turn out...I guess a black dog at night is hard to pick out.

Here's a pic of me at about 20 yards out.

Not too bad!

Mike I have one of those cheapies too. The flash wash is pretty discouraging and I have decided to go buy a decent digital game came when I can afford it.

I haave a bushnell and had a wildview and the flash was very disappointing on both. I have upgraded to Moultries and the night shots are much better.

Here is a night shot from the Moultrie

Here is a night pic from the Bushnell in the same location
