The pay

You only get paid if you actually go live from the slot. Beta.

Best for you: Dawn slots (4–9am CT) — Illinois deer move heavily during the rut at first light. Dawn slots capture peak morning movement when big bucks are chasing does across farm country.

What you need

Just your phone. WildFeed is in beta: iPhone via TestFlight, Android via Google Play.

Gear tips

•Ladder stand or box blind mount — Illinois farm hunting is often stationary
