    Trail Cams and T-Mobile

    Does anyone know what cell cams work with T-Mobile cell service? I thought I read that T-Mobile will work with AT&T cams but I'm not sure. You only ever see AT&T or Verizon. You don't see T-Mobile or US Cellular specific cams. I did find Spypoint specifies T-Mobile. Just looking for some...

    The hunt was tough for sure. The weather was very warm (seems to be a trend anymore). Mid 70's with a high of 78 Wednesday I believe. Shouldn't be covered in mosquitos in Mid Oct in Maine but we were. As for my wife and I we came home empty handed. Never fired a shot. Monday we had bulls...

    Well... less then 1 week for the hunt. Guns are dialed in and feel we are ready to go. Looks like season one up there had a good success rate. Weather looks to be warm with highs in the 60's but I guess that's better then 70's or 80's. Hopefully we can get our eyes on some bulls and connect...

    Flying vs driving

    Live on the east! - Been out west 17 times now (Colorado, New Mexico, and Iowa) Have driven every time and always straight through. Not bad when can split driving by 3. But if traveling solo or just one other those 30+ hour drives will wear you down!!!! Takes a day just to feel semi-normal...
