0:00.0	Being able to pinpoint exactly where a gobbling turkey is is half the battle in a successful hunt.
0:06.0	My favorite tool for pinpointing goblers is the compass mode feature on on X hunt.
0:11.0	When you enter compass mode on your app, the map orients to whatever direction you're facing,
0:15.0	and a line is drawn on the map with different distances marked.
0:19.0	So for instance, I'll be out hunting some hill country
0:21.4	and I'll have a bird goblin. So I'll turn on compass mode. I'll face the bird and I'll look at my
0:26.6	phone and it's got those different yardages marked. And basically I can say, okay, that bird is probably
0:31.6	about 250 yards away. I can look at my map and say, oh yeah, look, there's a ridge point directly where I'm facing, about 250 yards. He's probably right there on the end of that ridge point. Or, oh, there's a food
0:40.6	plot, about 250 yards out. He's probably in that food plot. So it's made a big difference for me,

1:03.3	in the market for a camera this spring check out the multery mobile edge two and edge two pro
1:09.3	cell cameras we're using these all this past fall worked extremely well
1:13.2	for us not only great image quality and video quality but the audio we've come to find out works
1:17.4	awesome especially we have a big old butt come running grunting on camera it's a pretty sweet video
1:21.8	one of my favorite features of the muletry mobile cameras is they're built-in memory systems so you
1:26.4	don't need an SD card so it's one less
1:28.0	thing to forget when you go into the woods but also if you're on public lane or if you're on a
1:31.9	hunting club or lease someone else can't come and check your camera by you know using a card
1:36.2	reader you can pick up a multery camera from any big box store and also a lot of your local
