My wireless trail cam strategy during rut 📹

Last November, I was checking my phone at work when I got a notification - massive 10-pointer cruising past my doe bedding setup at 2 PM! That's when I knew my wireless trail cam game was dialed in. Here's my mid-season setup that's been money for rut hunting: My go-to trail cam strategy: 1️⃣ Power up with solar panels - Nothing crushes your soul like dead batteries during peak rut. Solar keeps them running all season long. 2️⃣ Max out that SD card - I use the biggest card possible. You don't want to miss that buck of a lifetime because you ran out of storage. 3️⃣ Point cameras north - Game changer! Once leaves drop, this eliminates sun glare and gives you crystal clear images. It's like having the sun as your personal lighting crew. Focus on doe bedding areas during rut - that's where the magic happens. Bucks are cruising nonstop checking for hot does, and wireless cams let you monitor without disturbing the area. Anyone else doing the same? #hunting #HuntingTips #TrailCams #WhitetailRut

I tried 4 hog methods in Texas last week

Just got back from an epic hog hunt and wanted to share what's been working for me this season! The beauty of hog hunting is having so many options to choose from. My go-to methods: 1️⃣ Spot & Stalk - Hit those feeding areas early morning with good glass. Once you spot them, patience is everything for that perfect shot opportunity. 2️⃣ Baiting - Corn and molasses work like magic (where legal). Set up downwind and wait for them to come to you. 3️⃣ Stand/Blind Hunting - Found fresh hog sign? Set up nearby and let them come to you. Requires serious patience but pays off big time. 4️⃣ Dog Hunting - Training a hog dog is serious commitment, but nothing beats having a skilled pup track and corner these smart animals. Curious what method you swear by—or rotate between? #hunting #HogHunting #HuntingTips

What I’m doing this July to prep for fall hunt 🦌

Been spending some time getting things in shape for fall, and July's been the perfect window for low-impact prep. Here’s what I’ve been working on: 1️⃣ Check food plots - Make sure they survived the heat or start planning backup plots if drought hit hard 2️⃣ Scout water sources - Find or create water holes while deer patterns are predictable in this heat 3️⃣ Boots-on-ground scouting - Low-impact time to find bedding areas and travel routes without spooking deer 4️⃣ Hang stands now - Perfect time to set up ambush spots while deer have plenty of cover to avoid you The key is connecting food sources to travel routes. If I can figure out how deer enter ag fields now, those patterns usually hold through early September. What's your July prep priority? Food plots or stand locations? #hunting #HuntingPrep #DeerHunting #OutdoorLife

My biggest buck came from this scrape tip 🦌

Been studying rubs and scrapes for years and they're basically GPS coordinates for where to set up. Here's what I've learned about using them effectively: 1️⃣ Size matters - Larger, higher rubs and big scrapes usually mean mature bucks are using them 2️⃣ Position downwind - Set your stand downwind from active scrape lines for optimal scent management 3️⃣ Trail cam gold - Scrapes get visited year-round but peak activity is fall, mostly at night 4️⃣ Post-rain visits - Bucks often return after rain to "freshen up" scrapes where scent washed away The scrape-to-trail-cam combo has been incredible for taking inventory of what's actually in the area. Multiple deer use the same spots, so you get a full picture of the local population. Anyone else had luck dialing in patterns this way? #hunting #DeerHunting #HuntingTips #TrailCameras

Summer Hunting? Here's What's Still In Season

🌞 Think hunting season's over? Think again! July can actually be prime time for certain species while keeping your skills sharp: 1️⃣ Coyotes - Most states allow year-round hunting. Perfect for protecting your property and staying practice-ready. Plus they're everywhere! 2️⃣ Wild hogs - Available year-round in many states. These destructive pests are challenging and fun to hunt. Great summer adventure if you're willing to travel. 3️⃣ Invasive species - Florida's got open season on iguanas! Sounds weird but it's actually a blast and helps the ecosystem. 4️⃣ Small game - Check your state regs, but crows, squirrels, and other small animals might be fair game. Perfect for training new hunters or practicing marksmanship. What are you chasing this summer? #hunting #SummerHunting #WildlifeControl #HuntingSeason
