Hey Jeff, why don’t you use solar panels on those cameras? They pay for themselves in no time.
@whitetailhabitatsolutions97516 ай бұрын
Hi Donald! We have roughly 16 we use. Unfortunately tho, they don't work very well in the shade 😊 We have just about 25% of our cameras in the open enough for solar panels. Also, we are using about 25 Reveal lithium battery packs...that really saves a lot of money!

Man can someone help me out. I’ve seen all the videos and unfortunately none of them are a “south Texas” tips or parcel design etc. I’m curious if it’s possible to do habitat improvement etc for this type of environment.
@whitetailhabitatsolutions97516 ай бұрын
Hi CJ!! All of the design tips have the same concepts that apply to anywhere a whitetail roams. For example, check out today's bedding layer video! That concept defines how both bucks and does bed, anywhere they live. Doesn't matter if you are hunting in TX or MI. All the other design concepts work anywhere whitetails live as well...

Have you ever implemented and low fencing. I hunted an old farm that had about 4 acres fenced in with 4ft hog wire. It hadn’t been bush hogged in years and the doe would jump the fence to have their fawns. I quess I kept a lot of the predators out.

Morning Jeff. I just went out yesterday and tried to do some predator control on my property.. ended up getting skunked. So I spent the rest of the day putting in 2 new vine scrapes and put cams over them. We're gonna start doing a little bit of cuts around the property in a couple weeks. It all starts soon as the season ends. Or, does it actually end? Doesn't seem like it lol
