Improving deer habitat is not the same in all areas. What works in Iowa where hunting shows are filmed does not work in high hunting pressured states like MI, PA, and NY where deer habitat improvement needs to be radically different from what you see on TV. This channel is only one a few online which teach advanced deer habitat tactics for pressured mature bucks. So please subscribe to this channel to get all our future videos on creating deer bedding areas, planting deer food plots, how to create buck beds, travel corridors, and how to hinge cut trees for deer.
I understand this is an old post, but be advised that the ncei-noaa site you mentioned has apparently been taken offline or has changed in a manner that security checks will not allow this to load. I don't know which, but I've asked my Washington Representative to look into this. It was working up until a couple of weeks ago and now I cannot find it. Advise if you are seeing the same thing. Too bad, as I was finding this useful and am now contemplating a weather station of my own for more reliable/timely information! Thanks!
Randy, great points! We are all huge fans of your vids at Bishop Archery and have learned a lot from you over the years. Check out our Field 2 Swamp Food Plotting System Instructions & Documentary Movie Podcast over at Bishop Archery under the Information tab. Best of luck this hunting season 💘
Possibly spooking a mature buck before your season even begins makes no sense. Great points. Plus, they are generally moving pre dawn early in the season.
It's worth testing every camera you buy in a dark quiet room in the house. All make that clicking sound when switching from night to daylight photos. Including the browning dark ops, Spartan, etc. In a video from Exodus they claim is is a filter that must be put in front and removed from the lens. Not sure if that's the case but some cameras are louder than others.
All my cameras are 10 to 12 foot high for a couple reasons. They get a broader view of the area and are protect more from thieves. I run 4 tactacams and enjoy them very much. The Camara and spooking debate has been going on for years. I'm not worried about it as I get multiple pictures of the same deer feeding, bucks and does. When seeing up my cameras and being 1 a foot away from them, I usually have to wait until I get the picture to know they had taken a pic. I don't see a difference between a regular game cell camera and the reolink in the possibility of making sounds. The cameras like the reolink hide the lens after use and vice versa to work. Tit for tat in my opinion. I think it all has to do with illumination. Older cameras had old tech causing spooked deer.
I'm in north central Indiana... And i thought you made this video specifically for me! Seems to fit all my situations this year. Lots of good pics on my 600gal. watertank I buried back in early June.
i’m having a problem with turkeys. my grain plot didn’t grow because of drought. we have 4 days of rain comming. should i try to harrow over the seed. Instead of just broadcasting them into dirt
Same problem in northcentral PA. I never thought I would say I have a turkey problem of too many. However, I am looking forward to a good spring gobbler hunt,
Our drought in eastern panhandle of West Virginia came on before summer planting and continues, so fall plots are useless. I've nutured the clover and the deer have hammered it as well as the elderberry browse, all my peaches and trying to get my pears. In the summer they gorged on purslane and lambs quarter. What little oats, wheat and rye (second try) may not make it without some rain soon. My last resort is converting my garden beds and plot ,which I can irrigate, to rye and wheat and pull down the fences. I shoot off the porch, so it's no big deal, but I may have wasted over 400 lbs of seed and another 200 lbs of fertilizer and lime I put down this last week.
Randy great comments, Seclusion 360 looks like a good plan. We were supposed to get rain last eve for the first time in weeks and it missed us. Our plots look pretty bad this year due to the severe drought here in SWWI. Bob
No sign of ehd here in Southeast Canada so far, and hopefully, it won't for a long time there eh! Thanks for sharing, and good hunting everyone this season...
Kent county, Ada/Cannonsburg smells awful.. 100s dead, probably closer to 1000 now with no let up in sight.. It'll likely surpass 2012 Montcalm county, several dead in the Belding area with more reported daily
What part of WV? Here in Hampshire/Hardy I haven't heard of any. But our drought came on so hard with no real sustained rains even now I doubt if there is any mud or muck anywhere here!
I realize you want to emphasize the details on your map, but the 2.5 acre food plot on your 80 acre map?. That plot is way too big compared to the rest of the map
I had Reveal Tactacam and Spartan. 6 each. I was spending tons of money on lithium batteries especially with the reveal tactacam. Gave them away and bought more Spartan.
I'm not relying on these cameras to identify specific deer. I use Tactacams in the woods for that. ReoLinks are for monitoring deer numbers and activity in fields and food plots.
@@SeeMoreBucks I understand that. I run a dozen tactacams as well. Just curious on the identifying range? I’ve got 3 pinch spots the deer can access my bean field which I run cell cams there so I know what is in the beans from those cams. Just like the idea I could get photos from the pinch then pan over to the beans with a reolink
Thanks Randy- from their site it looks like Reolink cameras have red IR lights that would be visible to deer at night. Is that the case? Is there a "black out" option?
We don't run cameras on our farms they scare deer, and I know they don't on your place but they do on mine. Also, I'm not against cameras you want to run them fine, but this is not a camera this is video surveillance of your deer herd. My take its livescope fishing, your no fishing anymore, and this isn't hunting anymore either. If your close by and your phone shows a good one in the field, your gonna be able to slip in and kill him without little to no challenge whatsoever. Again, this is livescoping deer. Not interested as I don't believe this is fair chase.
I’m assuming you use a rock and a stick to kill your deer off the ground. No way you use modern tree stands, archery or firearm equipment, binoculars or any other modern technology. That’s not fair chase!!
@@daveulrich4623 I use traditional archery equipment with no sight and I shoot fingers, my muzzleloader still loads from the muzzle and is iron sights. Most of the time I sit on the ground but I do use a climbing stand sometimes and we have fixed stands or box blinds on my farm. All of that is fine and good, but your missing the context. None of the things you mention alert me to exactly or precisely to where a deer is in real time, again not one of the things you mentioned. Not one of those items sends me pics or video of the deer and its location, again in REAL time, thus allowing me if I'm close by to put the sneak on them. Between this and the drone stuff were beginning to cross a line that I think a lot of hunters are not comfortable with. If your a shooter and all your interest is is the kill and the gram shot, knock yourself out, as long its legal, go for it. Same goes for shooting them in a small acre high fence operation while eating corn out of a feeder, more power to you. Just don't do it under the guise of fair chase because it isn't and somewhere deep down you know it. That's why you fired off the comment trying to make analogies with other gear that does nothing like the video surveillance in this video. I go to my farm to get away from the modern world, not drag the modern world with me. I'll close with this, the reason I bought the place is because when I got to first creek bottom I looked at my mobile phone and it didn't work because there was no signal. Still isn't today some 13 years later, and thank God for it. Good luck to you this season, I hope you shoot your whole buck hit list.
@@michaelcope2329 You’re simply picking and choosing what YOU think is fair chase. I’m not all for the newest technologies either, but I’m not going to openly bash others hunters / fishermen who choose to legally hunt / fish differently than me. You do you though.
@@daveulrich4623 I'm not picking and choosing. I plainly stated why, again, a climbing stand or a pair of binoculars or any of the other items you listed has nothing to do with 24 video surveillance of deer on your property or lease, let alone when it has the ability to send you live imagery of the deer in real time. I also referenced live scope for fishing, what your doing is the equivalent of saying well do you use a rod and reel and a boat. Your comparisons are invalid. Sorry if you cannot comprehend that or understand it. Again, good luck to you this season.
@@michaelcope2329 Old duffers always pick and choose and think they’re not doing just that. They typically choose the technology they grew up with and are familiar with and much past that they claim is cheating or not ethical. I’m sorry you can’t see that, bump up the prescription Gramps.
Ive used reolink cameras at my house for the last couple of years and they are great! Haven’t done the cell version, only wifi. I thought about using them in the woods as well but haven’t looked into the sim cards yet.
Hey those sim cards from eiot club range from $6 for 100MB up to $140 for 24GB. How big do you need? I assume once they are full it will stop recording but not sure?
ReoLink cameras do not use up any SIM card data when recording deer movement onto the SD card. The only time data is used is when you view in LIVE in real time, and when you view recorded events on the card. That's it. 2GB of data per month is a ton of data. So 24GB would last you a year for about $8/mo. Don't get any of the MB cards. Those are only for traditional trailcams that take photos... not video. Only get the GB cards.
Without a doubt, when my reveals trigger to video after the pictures, the deer hear it. definitely has negative effects. I just picked up a reolink after being curious from your previous video.. I'm glad you told me where to go for sim cards, because verizon people are clueless lol
This is a great explanation and very similar to what I do for my virtual plans! I ask for on-site photos in strategic locations based on topography, access, edge features, etc. Great content!
