I just bought 2, I haven't got them in the woods yet but we run a lot of the older Cudde's on our properties and they work great. Sadly, I haven't heard many good things for the newer Cuddebacks.
I can't find any consistency in cams. Got 3 kinds, sometimes I get almost no pics, but if I change the SD card I get plenty of pics. My biggest issue is getting too many pics of leafs or branches dancing. Someday I'll get it all figured out.
Older cuddies were good. Newer ones aren't so good. Seems to be hit or miss with them these days. I've been trying all sorts of brands the last couple years. As of right now I don't think there's any better cam under or around $150 than the Browning cams. I use the strike forces and they have been awesome. Great day pics and fantastic night time pics. Have had one out for over a year now and it's used one set of batteries around 10 months of being out. When it's taking around 2 thousand pics a week I'm happy with that battery life.

At one point I have 9 Cuddebacks that never had an issue. Then...Mark Cuddeback moved production to China.. Then nothing but issues. I gave up on CuddeJunk after having 4 cameras in a row fail a week or 2 after warranty ended. One had only taken 200 pics. There CS is the worst of any company I have dealt with. Actually wrote Mark Cuddeback, but of course got zero response. Not even a "thank you for you input" form letter. I would not buy one.
