| 0:00.0 | All right folks, this is Trail Cam Radio and this is Jake Hofer. |
| 0:04.0 | On this week's episode, we have a mashup and it is with Don Higgins and THP and we are talking all about long-term trail camera strategies and how to soak these cameras and basically invest in an area to hopefully have more intel for the following year. |
| 0:22.8 | And a lot of people have adopted this strategy and has found a lot of success. |
| 0:27.6 | And we haven't talked about it in this level of depth in the past, or at least for a good while. |
| 0:34.0 | And so the first conversation is from the Iowa Deer Classic with Don and then the other part is with THP, Greg, and Aaron. |
| 0:42.5 | And that was from the summer of 19, I believe. |

We hope you guys have a wonderful week. And here we go. Lights. Camera! Follow the trail. Ready to shoot. If you know where a deer's betting and you know where he's eating, that deer should be dead.

| 1:31.5 | Trail cam radio from the guys at Exodus. |
| 1:36.5 | We want to talk about your trail camera strategies and one thing that we kind of admire is your ability |

| 1:58.6 | Well, I organize them by location and uh that's where |
| 2:05.0 | it all starts and i try to to save at least some pictures of the younger bucks you know every |
