my wife got me a wildgame innovations camera, it seems to have good battery life.
I don't hang it up a lot but I feel it does a bit better than the Primos camera my sibilings & I got my father a couple years ago. Although primos does have EXCELLENT customer service, figured out dad's first camera wasn't working contacted the company sent it in and got a newer one in return which is working fine. Might also be the difference between where/how dad & I hang ours for difference in pics.
the only problem you might encounter with the wildgame is the unit I have doesn't like cold weather, I think 20/30degrees is t he lower limit of where it's happy, but when it warms up it's right back to normal. So might not get as many night pics in the high desert

I just purchased a new Primos HD 35 Ultra. I took it home, installed the batteries, installed the SD card, and set it on the kitchen counter top with a "3 shot burst" setting. I then told the 2 older kids to walk through the kitchen. It snapped them walking by. Cool I thought. Took it outside and hung it on the fence to see how the pics were in the dark and...... NADA. In three days it never took another picture. I tried everything and it turned on, said it was ready to go, then never snapped a pic again.
I took it back Sunday and got my money back. The HD35 has pretty good reviews too so maybe I just got a dud.
I had a wildgame innovations and it worked very very well until someone stole it....

I've used four brands and for the money would buy cuddeback. I simply can't afford the more expensive brands or I would love to try them. Buy an upper end moultrie and I think you will be surprised. Theft is the biggest problem I have had. I always buy locks and bear boxes and format the sd cards where possible. It's a lot of fun and good off season exercise but cameras are fickle and it really stinks when you hike an hour to a secluded elk wallow and your camera has been hacked off the tree with a hatchet. . .
