My favorite tool for pinpointing goblers is the compass mode feature on on X hunt.

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

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
