No cell service or Wfi I'm not sure how much stock you put in on feedback on Bass pro or Cabelas but that camera is rated low . I never use to look that stuff up bought a Leupold trail cam and it was junk had to send it back with the message don't send me another. Looked up the feedback rated a 1 with lots of neg. reviews . The m30i has a good rating with 12 reviews . hope this helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hunt or be hunted 59 Report post Posted November 19, 2017 U also have another option just because u don't have cell service or wifi, I use the USB phone adapter plug, just pop ur camera chip in the plug and plug into ur phone and it uploads ur pictures automatically no cell service required, their 17-25$ for any phone at Best Buy super handy little gadget !!!!

Barrski 23 Report post Posted November 19, 2017 Thanks for the feedback guys, I reviewed the reviews and they are not good I decided I’m going with the Browning Strike Force HD Pro. Meets my needs and reviews are okay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RickRaw 3 Report post Posted November 20, 2017 Hi guys, I have seen first hand, the effectiveness of corn feeders however I am hunting on land that I can't use one. I plan to be out Saturday and Sunday this weekend (and potentially the following weekend) and am wondering if it is worth throwing out a couple buckets of corn in the plot I am hunting? I wouldn't be able to put it out until I arrive Saturday morning. I don't know if corn has enough (or any) smell to attract anything that isn't already in the area and even though it is cheap enough, not sure if there is any point to putting it out while I am there? Thoughts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I sat in my tent blind from around 830 till around 1030 I was freezing . Every 1/2 hr i'd do a can call 15 min. later a small burp , I had heard some cracking in the bush a few times but who to say what it was . I had just opened one of those hand warmer things thinking i'm going to put them in my boots. All of a sudden a doe walked out into the open I thought holly crap she's big i'll take her didn't even get my rifle up and the fawn come flying out I thought crap I won't shoot her , then a buck was chasing the fawn , all this in the open . I get the rifle up and they both walk behind some bush I could still see them but couldn't figure who was who and there wasn't a good shot to be had. As i'm looking through my scope this buck walks out from my left the direction of my feed pile , he gets in behind a small bit of bush ,I refocus on him meaning I had to shift a bit. I'm thinking crap he's looking right at my tent don't know if he heard me or what , the only clear shot I had was straight at the chest and that window wasn't very big , but I had no twigs or branches in my scope so I let it fly. Called my buddy we waited 1/2 an hr. and followed the blood he didn't go far. When I talked to my partner he said he was coming through the bush but realized he was getting close to the feed pile so he changed direction , good chance he spooked it up .

MetalFishing 84 Report post Posted November 26, 2017 Had my rifle misfire twice in the morning yesterday and two got away. Went back to town grabbed my 12 gauge and a few hours later got my second deer of the season. Freezer will be good and stocked for winter and all it cost was a 'couple bucks.'

RickRaw 3 Report post Posted November 26, 2017 No luck for me yesterday, didn't even see anything. Wind didn't help I'm sure. Back out in the blind today but windy AF once again so I'm not too optimistic. Might have to try moving and look for a public area as my land doesn't seem too active and I don't want to go hungry this winter! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
