    @bowhuntingforlife I think it is a great drill for anyone wanting to plant small seeds fully no-till. For larger seeds, it will work if your soil isn't too hard. After a couple of rains or in loamy soil, you're probably good. If you have clay soil or the ground has been baked in the sun, I suspect you won't get great seed depth for larger seeds. This could be a problem if they are seeds that animals are interested in picking out. I will add that I drilled through brassicas last year to put rye in, and it did really well at that. I need to take a look here soon to see how it did pushing through live grasses.

    Where I live the deer are really wired, the click of cocking a flintlock will send them in a panic over the next ridge, I noticed in the video your deer respond to the click as well. Now I use a leather frizzen cover, I cock my flintlock when I get settled in a stand, and put the cover over the frizzen so the gun can't go off. I have the cover tethered to the trigger guard under some tension so it can't ever slip off on its own. When a deer approaches, I flip the cover off and am good to go, no noise and no fumbling with cocking the gun with cold hands. The covers are called frizzen stalls, most of the traditional B/P suppliers like TOW sell them or you can make your own easily.

    It will only be able to use 1GB of the card. The Flex creates 2 partitions when you format the card in the camera. It creates a 1GB partition and then a second partition with the rest of the card. In a Micro it'll only use the first partition which is the 1GB partition. BTW it does this to allow the camera to be able to take a photo and send a photo at the same time. Only the Flex can do this from the Spypoint products.

Just my 2 cents, keeps you from having to buy new mounts.

Nothing on Spypoints website in the specs or packaging. It said you could use rechargeable or AA batteries. The Micro LTE said it did have the 12v port right on the box so that's the one I bought. $79 on sale too. It works good, but I really wanted the dual SIM feature.

    I've been using trail cameras since they first came out and Spypoint cameras since the company first started with a rather large, black white flash camera. All in all, they have been very good cameras in terms of reliability. I had one Micro that didn't work at all and a Link-S that wouldn't turn on after almost two years of continuous use and Spypoint replaced both. I recently bought five of the new Flex cameras for $149 and I have to say that I'm impressed with the trigger speed and the picture quality, although I have one that tends to over expose daytime photos. One thing I really like is the wireless firmware update, which you can initiate via the Spypoint app. Word of caution, however; check the firmware version in an area with good cell coverage before you deploy the camera. While the Flex will transmit photos with only "two bars," two bars doesn't provide sufficient bandwidth to update the firmware and it will not transmit photos while the firmware update is pending. I had to recover two cameras, take them to an area with good cell coverage and update the firmware. Both are now deployed and working flawlessly.

    I bought a flex recently to try one out & I'll have to say they have delivered on the image sharpness & quality. It is still a new product & issues I've had are low battery life(AA Alkaline) compared to the Link Micro series & the white balance of the pictures is "off" (purplish-blue) and the color saturation is subdued like an old horror movie scene ! Also, I have a 128GB Kingston class10 Microsd card & the camera only recognizes it as 32Gb. This was formatted by the new FLEX format button feature. For folks that have the standard Spypoint antenna extensions, you will have to get an adapter to hook up to the new Flex. The gender has been changed on the antenna connector. The good news is that the firmware can be updated remotely. This camera was probably pushed out to the market a bit too early to keep up with the competition - no doubt. Hope that the LIT-22 rechargeable pack is made available soon to feed the power hungry beast. I think when all the firmware glitches are worked out, this camera will be the trailcam to beat so if you can get one now, get it! .

  • @huntingscienceexplained9825
    @huntingscienceexplained98252 жыл бұрын

    There is a belief that all plants need to grow is nutrients in the soil. This however is misguided. It is understandable as that is most often the lowest hole in the bucket. However, water and sunlight are just as important. Brassicas can get nitrogen from the clover which is nice but they will still compete. Ever plant in a square foot competes with each other for water and sunlight. Established clover is pretty good at smothering other plants. The brassicas never grew thick enough to canopy over the clover and that was my intention. I was only looking to have leaves for the deer to eat and not giant bulbs. The area I broadcast into I think the brassicas didn't grow as well just because they had to find their way to the soil with rain and therefore were a week or 2 behind. If the clover was fully terminated this wouldn't have been an issue but because the clover started to come back after a month or so, the brassicas a week behind couldn't reach sunlight before the clover smothered them again. This is the part of this test that is novel. I'm not planting brassicas and clover together, I am putting brassicas into well established clover. The hope is the brassicas use enough of the clover's nitrogen that I never end up with weed problems. That would create a rotation I could do indefinitely and feed deer almost all year long.
