paulcarol+FollowIs hunting helping or hurting wildlife?Always wondered—do hunting and conservation actually go hand in hand, or are they in conflict? Curious how others see it, especially with all the habitat work hunters do.🤔 #hunting #WildlifeManagement #ConservationFacts #HuntingEthics2941Share

lolson+FollowFinally figured out my trail cam setupSetting up my trail cam used to be pure guesswork—bad angles, glare, and half the shots missed the action. After messing up a few times, here’s what I’ve learned that actually works: 1️⃣ Location is everything - Look for well-worn trails, water sources, and food plots. North-facing setups avoid harsh sun glare that ruins photos. 2️⃣ Height matters - 2-3 feet for deer, lower for smaller game. Angle down slightly for close trails, keep level for distant ones. 3️⃣ Power prep - Lithium batteries last way longer than alkaline, especially in extreme temps. Fresh 32GB SD card formatted before use is clutch. 4️⃣ Settings dialed in - Fast trigger speed (0.2-0.5 seconds), adjust sensitivity based on area size. Test walk the detection zone before leaving! 5️⃣ Scent control - Wear gloves and minimize touching around the setup area. 6️⃣ Regular checks - Replace batteries and review footage regularly. Walk-test before leaving and always wear gloves to avoid spooking animals. What camera settings or placement tricks have worked best for you? #hunting #trailcamtips #WildlifeWatching #HuntingTips93Share
paulcarol+FollowHow I tell bucks from does in the field?Two weeks ago I'm glassing a lone deer feeding in my food plot at last light. No antlers visible, slender build - had to be a doe, right? Wrong! Almost made a costly mistake until I noticed that thick neck and blocky head shape. After 20+ years hunting, I've learned you can't just rely on antlers. Here's how I now identify bucks vs does in the field: Key identifiers that never lie: 1️⃣ Head shape - Bucks have flattened, blocky foreheads. Does have rounded heads like a Coke bottle with floppy ears. 2️⃣ Neck and chest - Even shed bucks keep that thick, muscular neck. Does are more graceful and elongated. 3️⃣ Body build - Bucks are squarer and more muscular. Does have that rectangular, streamlined look. 4️⃣ Tarsal glands - Look for dark brown staining on mature bucks' hind legs from rub-urinating during rut. 5️⃣ Behavior - Late season bucks often feed alone, packing on calories after rut. Does travel in family groups. Post-rut bucks feeding solo are often mistaken for does. Don't let a shed buck fool you! What's your go-to method for buck vs doe identification? #hunting #DeerHunting #buckordoe12936Share
Manuel Bright+FollowHunters care more about conservation than non-hunters! Surprised? Those who hunt often invest more time, money and passion in preserving wildlife than anyone else. Agree or disagree? #hunting #HuntingTruth #WildlifePreservation228166Share
Manuel Bright+FollowIs hunting by bike allowed where you are? 🚵♂️I’ve been mountain biking for years, and recently started combining it with hunting. It’s honestly a great way to move quietly and cover ground fast. The only challenge? Hauling out the game after a successful hunt—definitely a workout 😅 Anyone else hunt this way? Would love to get tips for hauling out game without straining my back! #hunting #BikeHunting #MountainBikeLife #HuntingHacks2315Share
tyler79+FollowDon’t hunt in insulated boots - here's why 🥾After hunting elk all over the state, I'm convinced insulated boots are overrated. They're heavier, hotter, and you're stuck with them when temps rise. Go lightweight and uninsulated instead - just throw on thicker socks when it's cold. I've only needed insulated boots a couple times in years of hunting. Currently rocking Under Armour HOVR Dawn boots and they're perfect. Way more versatile than bulky insulated ones! What's your boot preference - insulated or uninsulated? #hunting #elkhuntingtips #bootrecommendation #huntingboots3117Share
fisherchad+FollowAre you making your own lures yet? 🎣Been fishing for years, but only recently got into making my own lures. Before I started, I talked to a local guy who runs a big custom lure biz. One thing he said stuck: “The pattern’s more to catch fishermen than fish.” That totally changed how I look at it—now I focus on function over looks. Any of you build your own? What tips or lessons have you learned? #hunting #LureMaking #FishingTips #DIYFishing72Share
Manuel Bright+FollowTop Sounds to Lure Coyotes Fast!Ever tried calling in a coyote and got nothing but silence? It might be your sounds. Here are 4 that actually work: 1️⃣ Rabbit distress calls: Coyotes can't resist the high-pitched cries of a rabbit in trouble. 2️⃣ Rodent squeaks: Perfect for close encounters, these mimic the small prey coyotes love. 3️⃣ Coyote pup distress: Especially effective in spring and summer, this sound tugs at their parental instincts. 4️⃣ Coyote howls and yips: Great for sparking curiosity or territorial instincts. Mix it up depending on season and time of day—you'll be surprised what draws them in. #hunting #CoyoteHunting #WildlifeCalls #HuntingTips11314Share
mmoore+FollowWomen's hunting gear is such a joke! 😤Tired of pink camo and cheap fabrics. Why is women’s hunting gear still worse than men’s—even from the same brand? We want the same function and durability, not pretty colors. #hunting #womenshunting #huntinggear #gearequality1322Share
