I have 48 Cuddelink cameras on about 700 acres in western Kentucky. No matter how hard I've tried to pattern deer over the last 22 years, things REALLY change this time of year. Cameras that have pictured deer all year can go dormant, and cameras that have not taken many pictures all year are...

Have hardly seen any coyote this year - then......

The WiFi access point is a $199 Ubiquiti Unifi U7 Outdoor. I don't believe you will find an access point with longer range than this one. It does tons better than my old Bullet access points with directional Yagi antenna. The original need for long range WiFi was for a MyQ gate operator about...

We have WiFi beamed to several spots around the Western Kentucky cabin and use a $80 solar Reolink camera that can distinguish between people, vehicles, and animals. It is set to alert my phone when animals are on the 100 yard gut pile. Coyotes and raccoons are the focus. Since doing so...

Our deer is usually at the Amish processor within 45 minutes of pulling the trigger, and they are very prompt to process. Tenderloins cut into thirds, so we can steak them out any size we want. Occasionally cut some steaks out of the quarters, but usually grind the rest and do not add any beef...

It is interesting that the only cameras that had trouble taking the firmware upgrades, and the two cameras that did not work right after the upgrade, and the cameras that are showing incorrect battery days, are all L cameras. The G and J cameras seem to have updated well, and I also have a few...

So 4-days ago we reset, installed new batteries (and shade solar) and changed SD cards on the two cameras that were still not working after the 3.2/9.2 update. On of them seems to be working fine now, but the other one may be intermittent. They were easy to find originally, because they showed...

I was not going to update my 3.1/9.1 this close to hunting season, because they seemed fine, until they didn’t. When my picture count went up and a few cameras had pics in the queue I realized I was not getting everything on multiple cameras. So made a special (long distance) trip to upgrade...

Until John replies…. I have 2 home G’s that I upgraded to 3.2/9.2 last week and they seem to be working well with a mix of G, J, and new L cams. Except one L cam on each system that seems to need some more attention.

Also, FYI. I guess the thumbnail verify is a good thing coming, especially on the iPad app where they are under a separate tab. But having them mixed in with the regular images on the web browser is bothersome to me.

Overall I’m very happy with the new firmware capabilities. But the 3.0/9.0, 3.1/9.1, 3.2/9.2 manual upgrades have been frustrating with the farm 800 miles from my residence. And the 3.2/9.2 update last weekend did not go seamlessly. For some reason 4 L cameras got stuck saying they were on a...

As others have mentioned, to make life easier when loading multiple shots in a row at the range, and cleaning afterwards, I'd recommend converting what ever you buy to Blackhorn 209 powder. We've converted a CVA Accura and two older Remington 700s. With a CVA the conversion is as simple as...

Black powder (pyrodex) will pit even a stainless steel barrel if you don’t clean it right away. Ask me how I know😔.
