Is anyone else having trouble with Tactacams checking in? I’m currently running 6 cameras- 4 of which work perfectly normal (I think). I’ve got 2 others that will check in for 4-5 days (and send pics) and then suddenly go 4-5 days without and no pics, and then suddenly check in and start...

Had 13 in does/fawns in the plot last night- zero bucks to be seen.

I don’t have a deer here 135” on my home farm- shooting bullies this year. It’s all I can do really

So I hit a buck Thursday morning smack on the shoulder (small snafu at time of shot) watched him go to the middle of a bean field and stand for an hour- then walked off. Zero blood. Tonight he came in dogging does and didn’t make it out of the plot. I don’t have a good answer- I just know I’ve...

My relation had to do that one night and ended up shooting a 177 in his underwear- camo is overrated he said.

I can usually get it about anywhere near me on the IA/MN Border- I travel all over the state too if I need to bootleg it

Around here the FSA office drives around the fields with GPS units and gets verified acres. Then after that- you always have your acreage, it’s up to your renter then to figure out how he’s “losing” ground. Maybe he doesn’t get his equipment calibrated or who knows- but start with FSA and go...

Yesterday the neighbors shot 3- 2 1/2 year olds (family)-by far most movement I’ve seen all season. Hoping they are done now and I might finally get out- but looking like the 9th might be my first chance. If I don’t get out then, it will be late season first chance.

Congrats on a great deer. I wish I had one like that on my farm this year.

That’s one area that has been producing sneaky big deer for years. Montgomery/Cass/Taylor county- used to hunt it all and man there were giants every year.

I filmed and traveled for several years- it’s a nasty world. I almost completely walked away from hunting. Social Media has allowed a lot of bad apples with no repercussions. I have given most of it up and barely post anything buck related (I don’t have social media anymore) so this is really...

Saw a buck bedded down with a doe in a picked cornfield today way up here in northern Iowa.

I’ve heard you can boil them- I’ve heard that works for Cedars. Never tried it- I have chickens

Got a few buckeyes given to me- do deer eat them at all? Guy gave me a few burr oaks too- the acorns off them were the size of golf balls or maybe slightly bigger, was crazy to see that size. I have a few chestnuts already growing on year 2- just really trying to get super diverse. Any...

I know many won’t be a fan when I say this- mainly due to people who break the laws are going to break the laws. I think we need a shed season (at least on public)- I know guys who start the moment gun seasons are over just because they are afraid someone else might get them. I think if you’re...

Are they first gen cameras? I’ve noticed my first gen’s are blowing through batteries ever since 5g starting kicking off statewide. My newer ones no issues

Not a bad read- it is crazy the amount of shed poaching. https://www.agweb.com/news/business/farmland/monster-deer-madness-iowa-farmer-nabs-antler-thieves-busts-multistate-shed

One of many I took here in Northern Iowa. We see them once a year it seems- this year multiple times. This was the best- they really danced across the sky

Sandisk- ultras and extremes. Most new cameras are requiring faster write speeds so with the ultras and extremes you are covered.

Got other pictures but when I try to upload they are all blurry- deer hitting sunflowers hard
