The big battery becomes the primary battery as soon as it's hooked up from what we've experienced. Make sure the batteries are completely charged up before putting them out. The batteries should last for months at a time, check the connections to the camera and battery, we've had those come loose

No, gas

We haven't made any adjustments. It seems like they are better than at first, but could be that we are getting used to them. I know I don't trust them on steep inclines, definitely drive smart with this one.

@@derekdBAbsolutely. Thanks again.

No, just the internal mic.

It's not very loud, very comfortable to run without hearing protection. We needed to stay under $15k so didn't add the roof or windshield, possibly will at some point. It runs well even in the sub-zero temps we've had recently, but not comfortable to drive.

Yep, we try to lay a branch on them to cover a bit but the batteries seem to be heavy enough to keep them in place

We started with the feeders set in CRP fields or spots that couldn't be accessed by livestock. But fences often get washed out during Spring rains so the cattle would get out. So we've started fencing the feeders in with non-barbed wire. We thought about putting the plates in the middle of the barrel and that would also help the height for the deer to feed more comfortably, but it's already almost difficult to reach from the bed of a pickup. As the legs get bent or broken we replace them with solid steel pipe and that seems to work really well, although more expensive.

Glad to hear, maybe we can add accessories over time. The worst part is I don't get any drive time, everyone loves to drive it!😅

If I remember correctly we made them 34 inches off the ground, could probably go a little higher but might be tough to fill

Thanks! @@derekdB

Suspension is smooth, very comfortable from that point, but we don't ride fast on rough terrain. Seats are nothing to brag about, soft enoungh but not meant for a lot of time in the saddle.

Thanks! Just out here trying to make things work and get pumped for season! I love seeing your stuff pop up on FB and IG, helps lighten the work day

I have to leave the actual hunt footage for my brother to show. He's still hanging out at the farm, check his channel in a week or so to get the shot and full recovery!

@@derekdB OH I KNOW...JUST FUNNIN

@@derekdB OH I KNOW...JUST FUNNIN

We have deer everywhere around here. The skunk is the real trophy!!

You're right, it isn't anymore! I just checked prices and it all went up over the last few years, our barrels are free so that helps. We ended up replacing a few legs that cows damaged with solid pipe and that stuff was ridiculously expensive, paid more for the pipe than the whole rig the first time!

We used 55gal drums for ours, legs are a bit wobbly so we upgraded one with steel pipe legs, but the leg kits did work

Thanks! We had a ton of fun

They are able to hang on the underside, but besides triggering the camera frquently they don't seem to be a huge problem

Sorry for the delay in responding. I keep meaning to measure and I forget, I think it's around 34 inches, but probably needs to be higher because the bigger raccoons can reach it. I think it could go up 4-6 inches and the deer could still reach it, but it will be difficult to reach to fill out of the smaller pickup bed that we usually use to shuttle feed with. And we're all 6'1" to 6'8" tall so I'd have a hard time recommending going too high.

Appreciate the sub! I've used the spinners in past too and just didn't want to deal with batteries. Corn and pellets flow both flow very well, I did have some alfalfa pellets get wet inside (my fault, accidentally dumped water from the lid inside when opening) and they swelled and got moldy, had to scoop that all out. Otherwise no flow issues. We got our metal barrels from my dad's employer, an envelope factory. The barrels held ink for printing. You might scout out recycling places or scrap yards. Make sure you get one with the removeable lid instead of just a bung hole. Hope that helps!

@@derekdB Thank for the tips!

3 inch

How did you end up liking the camera? This is about the most I can afford right now for my mobile hunting and I literally just pulled the trigger about 10 minutes ago and purchased it.

Good idea, thanks!

Within 24hrs

That's what I would love to feed but it's a bit expensive, we have Big Tine available here that has roasted soybeans in it

I mix big tine protein plus and record rack protein pellet and corn for a filler!

Thanks for watching!

I used a Canon vixia hfr800 hd camcorder and my Samsung phone. I don't have a camera arm but if you watch the next video #2 I show the little clamp mount we made up at last minute

@@derekdB Ok appreciate it. How does it do in low light

@@bobbyjones7750 I uploaded a clip of turkey hunting for you to look at. It was overcast and still fairly dark, it also shows the zoom capability which I think is pretty impressive (and even better in normal light conditions of course) th-cam.com/video/AoAXyXru3ek/w-d-xo.html

I was at full excitement, haha. Guess I'm just a low key fella.

I think I may have underestimated my corn/feed budget

@@derekdB especially if you’re running multiple feeders

About 2 weeks. We only fill them about 2/3 of the way full, the legs are a little bendy after that. It takes about 7 buckets of corn to fill 2/3 of the way. And we get about 7-8 deer each night feeding off of the one where we use the Tactacam Reveal camera.

@@derekdB thanks for letting me know man I'm wanting to build one but I need the corn to last at least a month

@@Freedomjunkremoval we just ran our wagon out of corn and expecting snow and temps in the teens next week, so we may have to make a trip to the farm store. Unfortunately corn prices have gone up

4 bags will last a month I drop a bail of alffa near it and they will keep coming in after the corn is gone I highly recommend putting the Funal they sell in the bottom of it

@@derekdB how long did it take deer to start using
