When creating food plots to enhance the wildlife habitat of a property, the first few things you need to do is come up with an initial strategy, select your sites based on this strategy, and perform soil tests on those sites.

One of the most important -- and simple -- things a deer steward can do before the hunting season begins is to conduct a trail camera survey on their property.  The information gathered from these surveys is crucial to improving the health of the deer as well as the habitat that they live in.;

StakeOut's Trail Camera Mounting System comes in three main models -- Screw-it, Stick-it and Strap-it.  Each has its pros and cons, but there is no doubt that this product has made it much easier to set up and move trail cameras around on a property.

With the version 1.7.5 release, W.I.S.E. users can now "roll-up" their data to remove data "slack".

This functionality was introduced so that when checked, images taken very close together (i.e. a multi-image burst)  will only count as 1 record.  I.e. a 5-image burst would only count a 1 record. 

Contact support@huntersclub.com with any questions.

Beginning with version 1.7, a “Suggest a Stand” feature was added to W.I.S.E.  This feature retrieves the weather forecast for your entered zips and suggests which stand you should hunt based on the trail camera images and observation data you have imported into W.I.S.E.  Download W.I.S.E.

The Whitetail Institute's Imperial Clover is a clover blend that was produced from cross-breeding over 100 different clover varieties, eliminating the least desirable clover and keeping the best.  After years of this research and development, Imperial Clover was born, and has since been the standard by which all clover blends have been measured over the last couple of decades.

Imperial Clover is a perennial, and can be planted in spring or fall.  If taken care of, in addition to fairly good weather, you can expect to get strong results for 3-5 years before having to plant again

Trail cameras are easily one of the greatest technological innovations in the last couple of decades within the hunting industry. Unfortunately very few hunters realize how much information these tools gather, especially when it comes to patterning deer activity.

Most hunters who use game cameras only use them for one thing—seeing how big the bucks are on their property. They will set a game camera over bait, check the camera every week or so, and if a big buck shows up on the camera, they will probably end up putting a stand nearby.

There are two functionalities of W.I.S.E. that most use -- patterning deer activity and trail camera surveys.   

Although both are incredibly useful to all hunters, the approach to them are drastically different.

Here are some "best practices" tips that will help you get the most out of W.I.S.E., and hopefully explain the different approaches to have success with both patterning deer and performing your trail camera surveys.

Fall food plots are a great way to provide forage throughout the colder months of the year and into the beginning of spring before you plant your spring warm season plots. It will help maintain the carrying capacity of your property and can also be a great attractant for a hunting stand. NOTE: Please check with your state and local game laws when planting supplemental nutrition.

Cool season forages can be planted in fall. Cool season forages start to grow once the air and soil temperatures drop below 60 degrees. Just like warm season forages, they can be annual or perennial.
