Am I missing something on my settings on these tactacams? I know this doe is hauling tail because of what's coming behind her but I'd like to see him. The delay seems to be minutes on these things. I run the spy points and the tactacams but these tactacams miss a lot especially as I sit in the stand and watch all the deer. Not looking to debate the 2 they both have there pros and cons for cheap cell cameras but maybe I just don't have them set right and I was hoping some of you may have some insight.
The quickest I've ever seen mine recover and send a pic through the app is 35 seconds. They'll continue writing to the card but will not send any faster than that. I'm not sure if you were to set the send settings differently of that would matter or not? I also have mine set to send timely. I’ve had my Tactacam Reveal for over a year and you’re right they miss a lot. I’m going to bite the bullet and get a Spartan I think. Ryan is this a reveal or reveal "X"? Here's my settings on one of the last "X" I've put out. I'm currently running 14 tacticams and 4 Spartans and absolutely love the tacticams. Shortest delay is around 40-45sec set on timely. If you had on 3pic burst the pics would at least be on the card when checked Need solar panel to keep at max power...will help w/ a lot of problems. Drained batteries no good. I have a couple and they are great. What card are you using? If you take it off of timley it will capture more photos. Set it to send images twice a day. When its set like you have it, once it takes a picture it has to connect to the server and send it before it can take another image. Think you would be surprised improvement if switched to lithium batteries. Might help. My tactacams are funny both of them only take 1 photo even though I have it on 3 shot burst in settings. Yeah that's an issue with alot of the cell cams I feel like I have noticed the same thing. I also have my cameras set to take 3 pictures and they only ever send 1 I find with my spypoint that it will not trigger till it sends the first pic if set to send each trigger. I set mine to 2 pics per trigger then I get what’s behind them I don’t have that brand but have mine set to 3 pic burst and it takes all three pics, then recovers. Upload is set to instant but not really sure how quickly they are sent. you gotta give us more of that screen shot.... Looking forward to seeing some new updates posts/pictures! I always run my cams on video for just this reason. I think your camera is angled to high....follow Tactacam Reveal Tips Tricks And Pics and Tactacam Reveal Freaks on here...ton of great information
I had the opportunity to visit a property a few weeks ago of someone that had planted a lot of my trees this past spring and about 15 of those trees were RoadKill Crab™ as seen in the pic below. I will throw a pic in of the original tree (who wouldn't want some Rd Kill's sitting beside them come november 1st!) Drawing attention from the deer? You better believe it! It was interesting to see that Roadkill had set fruit on almost every tree that was planted this past spring on this property (don't do this and please remove fruit from young trees). These were planted in poor soil and I'm sure those of you planting in good soil with more Nitrogen involved saw more tree growth than fruit and that is a good thing. Roadkill is an October to November dropping crab and not much bigger than a quarter. Like I said before, deer eat acorns that are smaller than a quarter don't they? This prolific tree named RoadKill™ is one that is going to feed a ton of deer in the north in time to come as more are planted across the landscape in this country. Obviously this tree has since sold out long ago in September and won't be available again until the latter part of 2022, but I'm trying to cover every tree that I sell. This isn't meant to be an insult, my posts are meant for transparency in my passion and what I do. Definitely interested in some of those
And learning more about other good trees to plant Road kill was the #1 tree I wanted to get on my property. Glad I was able to snag a few! I definitely need some trees come spring. I'm on the email list for when some come available. That’s amazing. Fruiting on the first year. Glad I was able to get one in the ground this year! Can’t wait to see it producing and hang a stand by it!
A few pictures from today... The pictures with the small bucks on it is a little orchard made up of some Danville Kieffer and some other Kieffer variations I've collected along my way. You can see the trees are three quarters dropped or better but there are a lot of pears on the ground. There are a ton of deer coming to them but I will show you that all in another post in a few weeks, as I've documented it all very well with cameras and a few of my videos. The second picture is Sweet Advent pear holding tight and 200 yards to the north of these trees. This is why Sweet Advent pear is such a special tree as Kieffer begins to come to an end and that draw is going away. This pear steps up and will continue putting deer on this 6 acre property with its sweet pear. I'm sure all the other trees and plots I have added to this property are the reason deer are on this so much but for today we are just comparing pears and how they work. My deer will eat what I feed them and I have trained them to eat pears very well. At this point and time pears are becoming very sweet because of the temperatures dropping at night and the pears are beginning to actually ripen on the tree and the ground. At this time is when they become very sweet and very attractive to all wildlife! I believe on the website I said "pears in November is like standing corn in the middle of winter" I just thought I would give you some insight as to why and my way of thinking.
Sure wish I could get some of them pears! 2 year of no luck look good Can’t wait to get mine next spring! You ROCK Ryan! 🇺🇸 Jonathan Johnson
Kerr Crab: Kerr has been ripe for sometime now over a month, yet it hangs extremely well. The integrity is still very intact and the fruit is solid. This is an important fact as we dont want a tree producing fruit that hangs well but rots on the tree and I mean we as in us guys planting for deer. I grafted some Kerr a few years ago! Shouldn’t be much longer
Meader persimmon:
What’s the age of that tree ? Y do u paint the trunk? Any of them for sale? Meader is one of the cold hardiest of persimmons. Will you have any for sale this fall?
Heading to camp for a few days with limited service. This is the tree called Turning Point!
Good luck! Very nice!
I'm heading to camp for a few days with limited cell service but I'll leave ya with this....Turning Point Crab
Really looking forward to seeing how this tree does in the South. Looks more like an apple than a crabapple. The fruit is every bit as big as Yates if not bigger. Absolutely loaded! Is that the original tree, or one of yours? Glad I got one this year Cool, glad I planted one this spring ! Wow
There is just something about exploring new trees that brings excitement to me like this tree (picture is from yesterday) an apple tree is not just an apple tree! The excitement is that I get to add it to my orchards. There is 2 years of history with this applecrab and it has produced like this for the last two years, yes it may be hard to see but there are easily 1,000 or so crabs still hanging 50' high in this giant tree (a tree like this is a sign of great vigor). This tree is located in northern NY in zone 4b and is dropping a few as of now and will continue for the next month or so following last year's drop. Why is this exciting to me most of my properties are in central PA to southern NY. This is why, Most of the country had an early spring/blossom time this spring of about 10 days to two weeks. This puts that tree in a sweet spot for me on a normal year, at a time when I'm looking for my properties to be at the peak of attraction in my areas. When is that time? You guessed it! Those 1st few weeks of November. Why this tree? I mean drop time is good, I know vigor is good, as I already have it growing. This is why no scab, no cedar apple rust, No fireblight, no powdery mildew!! This crab is located amongst a thousand others, a place where diseases were all heavily prevalent on the dozen other trees within a stones throw of this tree! This tree need a name? If you have any ideas??? It's a winner! This tree has seen -35 degrees and is a great one for most of the northern half of the United States.
Just the shear size of that tree is incredible, if I was a tree climber I would be setting stand in that tree.
Joining the group having a great time adding to the list of names for this tree, I offer something that crossed my mind. Tree Stand Crab. That crab is stunning!! Everyone wants a crab like that! Deer Candy Would love to plants this tree on my property in the Catskills!! Crab cake King Crab Mighty Crab. November Perfection! Alpha Crab The Rut Crab Hunter’s Crab Non-typical crab How long til you are able to bring this tree into your production line Ryan?
Keep up the good work!! Winter winner, Winter dinner, or winner winner, how old would you guestimate that tree to be? Sweet spot
Peak attraction Pristine, Lip Curl, or Lip Licker, or Sweet Spot This tree sounds perfect! Do you think it would grow in northern Wisconsin zone 4a? From a human prospective, Is it edible . A duel purpose tree ? Such upright firm... I'd go with "Reigning Crab". Is that on Dave’s place ? Tall tine crab Crabfection. Nice find! North of the Border crab No problem Crab
Deer Luscious™: Fully ripening and hitting the ground for the last few weeks here in the Northeast. This persimmon definitely has what it takes to go much farther north and still ripen in time. It's a nice sized persimmon, annually productive without a pollinator and has a nice long drop to it. The original tree is well over 100 years old and has seen some very cold temps here in the North Central Pa. I realize I'm writing this and this tree was gone in minutes last thursday. Good things just take time and I can promise you that I will make every tree possible that I can next year of deer luscious™. This is a persimmon we should all have the option to plant.
I have a huge persimmon tree here in my yard in southeast Ohio and it's loaded every year been dropping for about two weeks Will you be selling any scion wood in the spring ? Northern Giant How long would you say it takes before it starts becoming consistently productive? I've read persimmons take a little while to mature

The fruit is still excellent to eat at this time and is going to fall at an important time for me through the month of November. This tree has just begun dropping a few here in central Pennsylvania and will continue for the next month or so. Kerr is very productive, has good disease resistance and is annually productive. The tree is not a fast grower but good things are worth waiting for. Kerr is the best when planted in fertile soil. This is a tree that when grafted to standard roots I would recommend fertilizing in April and again in June just before a rain. I say on standard roots because they can handle the extra growth you will receive. I was hoping to cover every tree I sell this fall, so I am going to need to start doubling up on post. As it's soon time for me to be in a tree more.
