Thanks for the tip!

It's possible deer are bedding in the CRP but they seem to prefer the thick wood/brush. I've got at least 8 different bucks on camera and many doe and fawns. I think it's just a good spot for movement. The blind would be placed with the prevailing wind in mind.

Bumping this 10 year old thread. I placed a trail camera on my land at a mowed UTV trail T-intersection. It's also where part of the UTV trail goes through an opening in a long fence line. I'm getting mature buck pictures in this spot both day and night. I'm thinking of putting a ground blind...

Sorry for your loss Brian. I enjoyed reading through this thread. Your property is awesome. You have put a lot of hard work into it. Please keep updating this thread.

I got one of my cheap 5-panel Outta Site blinds assembled and placed on a 5' tall platform. Assembly is easy with two people.

I agree with this. It's a very good video. I applaud Missouri for taking the steps they have to contain the spread.

My land in Wisconsin is in a county with a very high CWD infection rate. The township I'm in has an infection rate of about 29%. Despite the harvest dropping the last four years the deer population is not growing in my county. GPS collar studies are showing the decline is because of CWD, not EHD...

After reading all the responses in this thread I decided on about 6 pounds per acre. I ended up reducing my plots from 1.5 acres to 1.25 acres and added 5 pounds of red/white clover to the whole mix. I plant tomorrow with a good chance of rain Saturday and Sunday.

Coated slow release urea is only a couple dollars more a 50# bag for me. Would you use that at the time of planting over uncoated urea?

Great idea! I'll probably try this.

How did you modify them? Any pics?

Thanks for the feedback!

Menards has the Outta Site Eclipse 5-sided blinds for sale for $499 or $444 after rebate. Same blind as the habitat 5 or Thicket 5 blind, it has the same assembly instructions. I bought two of them and I'm waiting for them to be shipped to my local store. Outta Site Eclipse 356 you bought a...

Thanks, I'll try video this year. The GardePro's were on trails...my cell cams on solar panels did the heavy lifting in the food plots.

I got a whole season (July-March) on a set of regular batteries last year in the cheap GardePro E5S. I only had it taking pictures, no videos. How is battery life if you set it for video?
