    Any cuddeback experts on here?

    Last night I had 2 bucks sparring in front of an L series camera and it took 12 pictures in 1 minute. Obviously 2 bucks creates a lot of movement but that suggests that sensitivity is what has been lowering my picture counts. My counts have gone way up by setting sensitivity to H2 and so far I...

    Any cuddeback experts on here?

    Since this thread has been revived, I'm curious what camera settings you guys are using on the L series camera? I have 2 of them reporting to the cell home (non-camera, no cell plan). I had a old school browning hanging under each camera and the browning cams were taking 5 times the number of...

    Cuddelink questions

    I went back and really looked at my HD tactacam pics and browning pics and to be honest the cudde pics are at least as good, maybe better in some ways. I think this system makes a lot of sense for my situation. Sounds like bigger panels are worth it too. Thanks for the info guys

    Cuddelink questions

    The reason I care about the resolution of the pictures on the home card is that I really like to keep a year to year inventory of buck pictures to compare growth and patterns and I don't like saving the low res pictures. I hate pulling the cards out of tacticams at the end of the year and wading...

    Cuddelink questions

    So the cell pics are low res, ok are the pics on the home cell card full resolution? Meaning manually checking the SD card in the home unit? '83, I don't really need the cell factor but it is nice if you are bored at work or if I'm hunting out of town for a few days and wondering if big boy has...

    Cuddelink questions

    I'm leaning towards investing in the cuddelink L series cameras and I have a few questions that I haven't been able to find answers to. I live on the property and I would like to run 5-7 cams with a cell home unit at the house. I would pull that card most of the time and maybe activate the cell...

    Multiflora rose/oriental bittersweet removal?

    Personally I have never tried it on locust but I bet it would work just fine.

    Multiflora rose/oriental bittersweet removal?

    As far as I know it doesn't. Crossbow is strictly a foliar spray. The other nice thing is that it doesn't hurt grasses, only broadleaf plants.

    Multiflora rose/oriental bittersweet removal?

    You guys that are using gly on cut stumps, are you all mixing 50/50 with water and do you find it as effective as Tordon? Tordon is getting pretty pricey. FWIW, I have had very good luck with Crossbow (spraying green foliage) on everything I have tried including honeysuckle, MFR, and even...

    Hawk blinds

    I built my own 6'x8' blind (8.5' to the base) and used 3' anchors that auger into the ground, twisted them in with a crowbar. Two on each 8' side and one on each 6' side. It has survived the derecho and everything else for 12 years. It's on skids so those anchors are the only thing holding it down.

    Broadcasting brassicas

    Just thought I'd update how this turned out, FANTASTIC! I broadcasted 8lbs of Welters Big Buck Brassica Blend around Aug 1st on just over 1 acre. It was pure dust at that time but I lucked out and got 4" of rain over about a week starting around the 6th or so. I never did put any fertilizer on...

    Broadcasting brassicas

    Ok you have talked me into the broadcasting. I certainly wasn't looking forward to rototilling that dust bowl on an open station tractor in this heat anyway. I'll figure out something for fertilizer if it germinates. I've been in my local FS fertilizer barn many times and never seen AMS but they...

    Broadcasting brassicas

    This is what I'm dealing with. If I get rain and the flowers develop into pods I'll get a few beans. Fertilizer issues aside, would you bother trying to save this with broadcasting or just start over? No deer around here has eaten a brassica in its lifetime so the skimpy beans might help with...

    Broadcasting brassicas

    Stirring up weed seeds is a good point, currently the only weeds are the occasional water hemp that survived 2 sprayings but even those have been browsed down to 3-4". I have easy access to the plot so I think I'll just try some of both methods to experiment. Broadcast over some of the "better"...

    Broadcasting brassicas

    Ok, I might be kidding myself that my beans are even worth saving but you guys are giving me hope that the broadcasting might work out ok. I still may just till up the smaller part of the plot that's wiped out and put the brassica mix in there instead. If I do that I it would give me another 5...

    Broadcasting brassicas

    How well does broadcasting brassicas work? I planted 1.8 ac of beans this spring and between some poor germination and the deer absolutely pounding the beans I'm left with mostly bare dirt. There are a lot of bean plants but they are all about 5"-6" tall and heavily browsed. Despite the...
