    Just watched some clips of this dude on YouTube. He`s either drunk constantly, has had a series of minor strokes, or has a possible undiagnosed illness. I'm not sure which though.

    I couldn't agree with you more. Not sure these hosts even enjoy hunting as much as the money, traveling, attention, etc... and if that's not their motivation it's killing they enjoy and not the hunt. Same argument you guys have heard. But back to busbice ya I'm pretty sure letting that calf carcass rot in a ditch breaks some kind of ancient Indian tribal code... you just don't do sh&$ like that.

    I agree. He seems to have some sort of mental issues. I watched him and arrived at the same conclusion.

    Please pay special attention to the last paragraph in the link entitled 'Our Employee's.

    Is their character the same...?

    Then keep it to the guy, not the product. The product isn't capable of making a bad decision. If you don't like the product say why. Because an owner screws up, well, that's a pretty weak reason...

    I don't like the products because it funds the activities of unethical behavior.

    Make sense now?

    Nothing like starting your day with a little bit of moral vacancy.

    WGI Trail cameras are cheaply made junk and are among the worst in the entire industry. They (along with Cuddeback) are perfect examples of how you can sell absolute garbage to some people as long as your marketing is strong. Hopefully this debacle with Bill will force others in the hunting "industry" (like Lee and Tiffany) to finally ignore the money enough to stop whoring themselves out to help sell these garbage products to consumers. I couldn't believe it when Lee and Tiffany finally dumped Cuddeback only to wind up pushing WGI.

    No matter what... the price of the WGI cameras will help them continue to hold a significant market share because many people simply have to look for the least expensive options and that is the WGI camera niche. Many people who buy WGI cameras due to financial reasons probably will not be able to allow the growing Busbice legacy to sway them in a different direction simply because the WGI cameras are the dominant product on the shelf of cameras for under $100.

    All I can say is if you can buy something else... buy something else. You will almost certainly wind up with a better product and in the process you won't be lining the pockets of a person like Bill Busbice.

    I cannot comment on any other WGI products because I have not been the victim of owning or using anything else that they peddle.

    Absolutely 100% disagree. The man that heads a company is the biggest and most accurate representation of the company as a whole. As his morals, character and decisions go so does that company.

    I Small Acre Hunting began producing a product of any kind and I decided to be a POACHER I would hope that EVERY single law abiding hunter out there would cease buying or supporting Small Acre Hunting in any fashion at all.

    Their swift action I do believe will help to retain the vast majority of their current and even future clients. I am not one in any hunting industries they have but fishing I do use Frabill and Plano....and I will most likely continue to do so if their tune stays consistent.
