I had the privilege of mentoring another first time adult hunter at the beautiful Mark Twain State Park in NE Missouri. We had four teams, all using crossbows, for this hunt sponsored in partnership with the NDA, Army Corps of Engineers and the Missouri Department of Conservation. After the...

As of 12:49 pm, all cameras are reporting and showing 3.2 or 9.2 on the firmware. I had to clear one camera's queue (several hundred pics) but hopefully all is working well now.

I feel for companies like Cuddeback--the are small by industry standards, have a great project and are trying to provide great services while keeping up with the industry. Last year's software updated is what bankrupted Exodus cameras. The current update is a big step along that path, and I am...

Broomsedge thrives in low-fertility, low-pH, and eroded soils and will thrive after a burn for several years. While it is a good species, for the best soil health moving from a monoculture to a mixed native culture would be ideal if the goal is habitat in general. You are blessed with a NWSG...

Updating to 3.2/9.2 took down my whole system. Several cameras that were in the field for two years on solar and never touched are showing dead batteries on board and on solar....something is not right, as its been good weather. Here is the response from Cuddeback: The Remotes show they have...

I've drilled brassicas into growing soybeans with minimal ill effects. The cage drives the gears, and works pretty well.

I’m in for a short evening hunt in a new blind. 1” of rain on Tuesday is bringing a little life to the food plot. The squirrels are out in full force. Didn't see any deer....I had to come in a little early and the deer showed up 5 minutes latter on camera.

Daily improvements since the plot had rain!

John, I loaded 9.2/3.2 on Friday across the 9 camera system on the 19th. The first report showed 8 cameras. Now I am down to 2. Some are sending LOTS of pictures. This is the time of year I am needing the cameras, so any assistance would be helpful.

Mowed the Sericea lespedeza on the south end of the pollinator plot before the seeds dry and fall This will be followed by a burn. I hate this stuff.

Deer are starting to browse the new growth.

We were able to broadcast seeds on the 14th and have enjoyed a couple of rains. I forgot to put up an exclusion cage. Time will tell if the plot makes it.

It was a fun sit with several sightings. The doe always had branches in the way for a clean shot, so no venison yet.

I’m back in the stand. We currently have a south wind that will be changing to a north wind by 7:30 PM. That makes the blind choice limited, so I’m hunting a section of land where my scent will hopefully into the soybeans. .
