re: Offline Trail Cam?

They’re going to be a common file format that any windows laptop can open. I’ve never heard of a company using some kind of encryption that only their app can open, but I guess never say never.

The bigger challenge these days is finding a laptop that has an onboard SD card reader. If yours does then 99.99% chance you’re gonna be able to pop it in and go.

If you don’t want or need cell service then go to Amazon and find the cheapest one that balances image quality with good reviews. In this day and age any non-cell cam is going to be cheap and will contain the same guts whether you pay for a name or not.

Yes you will need to retrieve the SD card and put it into a standalone reader to view the pics, unless it specifically mentions having a built in screen to view pics. You may or may not opt for that, but to view the pics at high enough quality to ID someone you’ll need to pull the card most likely. A screen would let you quickly scan to see if anyone has been there.
The pro gives you a screen and no-glow IR, but loses a little range as a result.

The screen is useless if you’ve set a few of these up before (it’s a breeze), and the no-glow is snake oil to me unless you’re on public and don’t want someone seeing the slight flicker.

My opinion, get the regular 3.0s and spend the difference on lithium packs and solar panels. The biggest upgrade they made is the solar panels now actually charge the lithium packs as opposed to using the camera’s battery as a backup and running off the small battery in the panel itself, so in a sunny spot they are truly set and forget now.
I tied football jigs for a minute and liked multiple contrasting colors against a pumpkin/watermelon colored base, bright blue/orange/purple/pink/chartreuse etc. Adding a couple strands of all highlights and shows the movement of the skirt, felt like it built some depth into it, at least that’s how I rationalized it.

It’s not rocket surgery. I have access to over 3000 acres of private land for a relatively low price, enough land to actually see improvement in the quality of deer with some management and coordination on what gets shot. As has been demonstrated here, just have to be diligent in the organizational aspect and find a group of guys that get along. Issues like this are usually few and far between.

If I had a few million laying around to buy a big tract all for myself then I would, but this is the practical way most of us are gonna get that kind of access.
If you as the designated contact remove him from the membership list that Weyerhaeuser has you maintain online, then he is no longer covered under their liability insurance and is trespassing. If you do that now, he may be entitled to a small pro-rated refund depending on when turkey season ends, have never seen a straight answer on this. Regardless, if he’s not on the list when the lease renews for the year, call the sheriff when he steps on the property.

Timeouts and penalties if someone gets hurt?


Read it again. A player who is down prior to the ball being spotted doesn’t cost the team anything. This will specifically address the guys looking to the sideline then going down after getting a signal to do so.
It’s a delicate fish but one of the better white filets as long as you don’t over cook it, like anything else.

I prefer to pan sear on medium heat, just until you get color on each side and it barely begins to flake. Seasoning is completely subjective as long as you get a little salt on there.
It’s not in your budget but hear me out - g loomis GCX 853C JWR. If you can stomach going up to the GLX line I would highly recommend it, but there isn’t a better blank for bumping a 1/4oz Texas rig made. Dealers will take 30% off sticker in person or if you call and order.
What you wave to compare is the neutralizing value of the two limes, I don’t remember them off the top of my head but pellet lime is a little higher due to purity and finer particle size. No way it’s 10x better though, you might be able to use 800lbs an acre.
I get it. Driving 60 on the interstate can be nerve wracking with everyone behind you playing on their phone. I’d have new tires on it yesterday.

Is there a particular reason you don’t use clethodim? Have seen good control of grasses and residual cereal grains in clover and vetch in warm season with no soil persistence.

re: Good seed hopper for atv

Posted by TheDrunkenTigah on 3/26/25 at 5:18 pm
The only one I’ve seen that isn’t thousands is made by Moultrie. Has a controller that will open the seed gate to a setting. The reviews were terrible and everything I’ve owned from moultrie in the last decade has been a piece of shite, so I passed on it and stuck with the metal rod that flops all over and won’t stay in one place. All ears if there’s a reasonable option out there with a 12v slider.
I couldn’t care less about the “is it fishing” argument, if they all have access to the same tech then it’s a level playing field, and it does take some skill to use.

My issue is it just isn’t entertaining to watch. What has always made competitive bass fishing at least somewhat compelling is the idea that these guys show up and read a lake better than you do, so you want to watch how they break it down. Sure they’ve always had a lot of sponsored gear and many are probably being fed scouting reports, but there was always at least the illusion that you could catch that same fish if you knew what you were doing. Now, it feels like they’re operating an F1 racecar and I’d be showing up to the race with a Camry.

I guess they idea was they would sell electronics like they did reels and baits, but I got too many other hobbies to sink that kind of coin into it, so it just pushes me away from the sport.

Bruh we used 7 pitchers last night with the following stat line against the10th best hitting team in the conference:


You’re not answering the question. If Skip says you’re only ever gonna have a few good pitchers, is your contention that Jay should just run those few guys into the ground, rather than seeing if one of those other arms has it? Skip didn’t give advice, he was describing why the sport is hard.

What is the point you think you’re making? Once we get through 8 pitchers in a weekend just concede and throw position players on the mound? Just leave a guy in if he’s getting wrung up? I’m sure skip would be the first to admit that’s not going to be the same 8 guys week in and week out. Some of them will have their stuff, some will have a bad day.

re: Thoughts on the A-Rig

I’m just not that mad at them. I grew up fishing shad lakes and have caught on them, but I find it to be a rare combo of both boring as frick and hard work to throw it all day. I bass fish to have fun, one good blowup on a buzzbait or frog is worth a 100 school fish hitting an umbrella.
Another vote for nitto ridge grapplers. Prettymuch silent on the interstate but I take them off road into clay mud and they pull great.

As said yes they generally will eat a lot of fawns.


Bottom line, if they are eating a lot of fawns, they’re doing you a favor. Deer evolved to have concentrated breeding dates such that all the young are born in a short timeframe such that predators can’t threaten that many. Even neglecting habitat which some just have no means to change, if age structure, sex ratio, and density aren’t managed then breeding gets spaced out feeding the coyotes a steady trickle of fawns. So either manage deer density or the coyotes will do it for you.
