    Verizon and Cuddelink

    I have 10 family viewing pictures daily. Two weeks ago, the Verizon users stopped getting text messages. Everyone else, no change. Anyone else experiencing this?

    Cuddelink L series Q & A

    I have an active plan. Who do I call to switch the cameras? Do I use Rayovac or alkaline with solar panel? All remotes are 8.3 (38 years in the computer industry, always upgrade to the latest firmware!) When the L arrives, does it need a firmware upgrade?

    Cuddelink L series Q & A

    First, a big thanks to John V who provides patient, expert help for all of us! I am 2 weeks from deer season and my Home camera is shot. I ordered a new L Home to replace a K-5789. The Fed Ex truck should arrive any minute, then I am headed North to get it installed. I also ordered a Sun/Shade...

    Cuddelink L series Q & A

    John, need some assistance. I have 4 J-1422 and 5 J-1415‘s connecting to a home K-5789 Verizon. I went on vacation, pictures stopped, just brought the K-5728 and the batteries were a mess. Acid everywhere and liquid all over inside the camera. I think it is shot. What do I replace the K-5728...

    Fixing holes on trails

    Thanks for all the comments. I fixed two major trails last weekend, sometime the solution is right in front of your nose! I had just not thought of creating a source for fill closer to where the problems were, sped up the whole process. I am not trying to build a road or driveway, just dont want...

    Fixing holes on trails

    We have owned 132 acres for 5 years, a tractor for two years. I have finally caught up on a long list of work including a trail system around and through the entire property. Most of the property was pasture and what I have found is that the trails are very bumpy. There are a lot of rocks and...

    Grapple Suggestions

    Two years ago I bought a brand new JD 4044M. The dealer sold me a Westendorf Brushcrusher 4200. It was undersized for my tractor and ended up getting bent (along with my tractor). Fortunately I had followed good advice from all of you and had used a local dealer who was awesome…took it back...

    Screen a gravel road

    Bill, thank you, I will investigate. If I could duplicate that I would be delighted. Our property sits in the center of Minnesota, so it needs to be hardy.

    Screen a gravel road

    One of my most productive hunting spots is a field with soybean or corn situated on a gravel road, the opposite side adjoins hundreds of acres of forest. I would like to screen it so that the deer use it even more. The county mows and sprays the ditch. I can’t plant trees because the power line...

    Bowhunting Failure

    Thanks everyone for participating, good insights and very helpful. I have scheduled time after the rifle hunting season with a very experienced bow hunter to walk through what happened on site, then talk about shot placement. Based on all the comments, I am convinced that I am the problem, not...

    Bowhunting Failure

    First of all, thank you! Great analysis. All of these pictures are from the second deer. I have pictures from the first as well that I will post. I definitely have a lot more to learn about trailing, I learned just from your examples. Thanks again 35-acre! First deer pictures attached, this is...

    Bowhunting Failure

    Thanks for the comments and questions, exactly what I was hoping for to figure this out. Buckdeer1, you bring up good points and let me provide more info. I have been hunting with rifle for 40 years. Don’t have to track very often. Have spent a lot of time in the woods over the years. Never bow...

    Disc vs. tiller

    Ok, if I were to choose between a tiller and a disc, it’s going to be a disc, thanks for the great replies. That being said, I can’t find a used one and a new one is $4k. What is the brand of a good quality no till versa drill? And does everyone need a cultipacker?

    Bowhunting Failure

    I very purposely waited an hour before I left the stand in both cases. Started tracking two hours after on both.

    Bowhunting Failure

    In 2016 our family purchased 134 acres for hunting. We have had some great rifle hunting even though we have not had time to plant food plots. This last week I was out hunting with my crossbow. Tuesday, I shot a nice buck. Rolled it over at 20 yards. After a couple minutes he got up, I watched...

    Disc vs. tiller

    I own a JD 4044 and my next implement for food plots is a tiller or a disc. I have a lot of virgin soil to be prepared so there are rocks and stumps that I will have to deal with. Tiller is thorough, but slow. Disc is faster but requires a few passes. Since I have never owned either, would...
