Or maybe it just ruffled its feathers? Or maybe browsing in some wet veg? I think its nothing other than my cwd paranoia. I am not wearing an N95 mask in the forest yet.... .

I found wood is even better than plastic for sighting. Any dead tree makes a great target. Also notice the difference between dead wood (darker) and live. I have probably spent more time looking at veg than animals. Why is the base of some plants hot? Sheep! Look at all those glowing...

I would be wearing body armor.

That's me too. Whenever I get an animal in the sights I listen for that small voice to say yes or no before I pull the trigger. Proximity to a road is always a factor, but my gut and tying to listen to God is what makes the decision. I am struggling right now in turning the cat hunters loose...

The "deceptor" seems to be shaping up. I seem to be getting less garbage now. I am not sure if maybe just the wind is less or if it has some sort of adaptive sensitivity or delay like cuddebacks. The reactor is still a pile of hud during the daytime. I guess the name fits.

Why I don't hunt in Nevada ... The money is in selling the tags, not filling them. What unit are you hunting? I watched the governor's elk tag sell for over $350k this year. Blue collars need not apply. Any land that can claim depradation is worth a premium. I have seen 5 acre irrigation...

Same line of thinking goes in to respiratory disease in bighorns; kill all of the survivors so the disease won't.....spread...or herd immunity....or something. I was told by an infamous sheepman that the Inuit learned to deal with disease in sheep long long ago; just let it do its thang and...

Nevaduh!

Maybe now they will release the list? https://www.8newsnow.com/investigators/israeli-official-planned-to-meet-decoy-posing-as-15-year-old-in-las-vegas-sex-sting-police/

Yes, I need to play with it on the cuddes since the gen3 though. I learned not to touch on the gen2, and never needed to. I turned the stealth Deceptor to low, and it's much improved but nothing like my first Deceptor. There is a branch that needs to come down on that one, hopefully it helps...

NEVADA! No one wants to live here, but the deer are freaking huge.

I am not sure where I am going with this, but..... I had a stealthcam deceptor covering a road and it was about as good as I could ask for. Very little was missed while also very little garbage. Well it got zapped by lightning or something, burned up inside. Replaced it with a Reactor. Well...

I am in a similar situation, set a camera in a certain spot and found a bear and cat highway a five minute walk from camp. I was wandering around in the middle of the night last weekend playing with my new thermal and had something huffing at me from a stand of oaks. I could see some heat...
