Damn Rio. 150,000 pounds/month? Holy crap. I’d love to learn more about your operation as I’m always impressed by your posts

Barry, we use 30 game camera's, most of them are set up on water or feeder's, depends on the time of year and weather, we move them about every 10 days, the average # of pictures is usually around 50,000 per 10 day period, but a couple of times we have had as many as 100,000 pictures to go thru, of course we delete a hell of a lot of them, the pictures we keep are down loaded to a I-pad, and a lap top, and i.d. by location and time and date.
Contrary to what some guy's on this site think we don't raise pet deer, every year we kill deer we have never seen, live or on camera. Rio7

I've got records that go back about 10 years. Usually, I only keep a few pics per download. Only those relevant. Got to keep up with another ranch now. Interesting seeing what's there the first time.  Sure beats the old spotlight/helicopter surveys. I'm sure some still do that though.

Barry,
We still do a chopper survey every year, it is required by TPW to keep our class 3 MLB Permit, which gives us 30 days before the regular season to shoot deer ad 30 days after the regular season to shoot deer. and we need all the time we can get to keep our numbers under control. Rio7

I have three 2000# feeders similar to Rio's sand-blasted ones. I bought one of these: Lamco Feeder more recently. I prefer the Lamco. I use a 2 ft X 2 ft X 2ft box (b/c I'm not very tall), but I can still load bags straight off the tailgate of my truck, walk them over, step onto the box, and dump them in without having to use a ladder. To load the others, I need an 8 ft step ladder (a lot more steps, a lot more time). YMMV.
