    The spypoint photo above is about the same quality we were getting with the Tactacam Reveal. Good enough to distinguish a buck from a doe and a small buck from a large buck but as far as counting or even being able to guess points. No way. Ill have to check to see if they have a similar option

    Ill add that for the money, just being able to tellbif a mature buck is showing himself during the day makes the $100 worth it

    I don’t wanna say that this Marco hunt is a bust but no sight of him yet. Going to get a camera on the community scrape where matures bucks hit every year see if I can catch him coming onto the property at least

    Don't forget Mikey mature bucks don't get caught on camera as much. They tend to have smaller core areas and if you don't have a camera there and they have no reason to leave(food, poon, predator) it's business as usual for them.
    Keep at him he is a trophy worth the effort

    Well for my followers for the Marco hunt…. He never showed… not once this season. And my season is now over…although it was a mega stud like Marco I took a great buck at a different property l! Perfect heart shot from 30 yards! Image1636337985.757209.jpg couldn’t pass him up! But I Trukey think my motivation I got to check and move stands and cameras really put me in the position to shoot the buck I did! Keep workin hard fellas!! Your time will come

    Image1637595903.621544.jpg daughter took a nice buck too! Wish one of us coulda see him but I’m guessing he’s dead somewhere.. very impressed with her buck and our seasons together. Couldn’t be happier.
