7T Outfitters: Blending Western Colorado Hunting with Smart Security

Nestled in the wide-open spaces of Western Colorado, 7T Outfitters operates on more than 2,000 acres of irrigated terrain offering premium pheasant, chukar, quail, and turkey hunting experiences surrounding Parachute, CO. Under the direction of Mike and Tina Metcalf, the outfitter caters to seasoned hunters and nature lovers alike, delivering tailored, high-quality guided—or unguided—expeditions and additional activities like dog training and camping.

Recognizing the challenges of securing a large, remote property in rugged terrain, Mike Metcalf has turned to Barn Owl Cameras for added peace of mind during off-season and remote times. These ultra-reliable, cellular-enabled, off-grid security cameras are ideal for the kind of sprawling landscapes 7T manages. With Barn Owl’s fast motion-trigger technology and 5-minute solar-install setup, the system provides real-time alerts on any movement near blinds, equipment, or boundaries—helping the team monitor property without constant on-site presence.

By integrating Barn Owl cameras into their property management, 7T Outfitters underscores a modern, efficient approach to remote security—leveraging technology to safeguard land and operations while focusing on what they do best: immersive outdoor experiences.

Efficiency is everything during harvest. Delays, bottlenecks, and miscommunication can reduce yield and increase stress. Knowing exactly what’s happening across your operation helps teams stay coordinated. With Barn Owl Cameras, supervisors can monitor multiple areas simultaneously. This includes: Field operations and machinery movement Storage yards and equipment staging areas Livestock or pasture zones adjacent to harvesting activity Real-time video and audio allow farm managers to quickly identify bottlenecks or issues, such as stalled equipment, worker safety concerns, or unanticipated field problems. When paired with smart alerts, you can respond before small problems become costly delays. For large operations, live-stream monitoring ensures that all team members are working efficiently and safely, while providing documentation for post-harvest review or planning for the next season. Harvest is a complex orchestration. By combining real-time monitoring with smart alert technology, farmers gain visibility, control, and the ability to optimize workflow—making the most of every hour in the field.
Minimizing Harvest Season Risks with Remote Oversight

Minimizing Harvest Season Risks with Remote Oversight

on Oct 21 2025
Harvest season brings increased risk—heavy machinery, moving personnel, and unpredictable conditions can all contribute to accidents or crop loss. Managing these risks is essential to protect people, animals, and equipment. Barn Owl Cameras help minimize risk by providing continuous, remote oversight. With cameras installed in key locations: Fences, gates, and perimeter lines are monitored for security breaches Storage areas and equipment yards are under watchful eyes Pastures near machinery are observed for livestock safety Smart motion alerts mean you’re notified of critical activity immediately, while live streaming lets you see, hear, and act in real time. This combination gives farmers the ability to prevent accidents rather than react after the fact. Additionally, footage can be used for safety audits, training purposes, and planning for future harvests—creating a safer, more informed operation. Harvest season is inherently busy and risky, but with remote monitoring, farmers can reduce hazards, safeguard assets, and protect their team. Barn Owl Cameras turn uncertainty into awareness, helping every operation run smoothly and safely.
Cutting Down Farm Foot Traffic During the Busy Season

Cutting Down Farm Foot Traffic During the Busy Season

on Oct 21 2025
Harvest season often means running everywhere at once—checking fields, inspecting equipment, visiting storage sites, and monitoring livestock. Constant foot traffic wastes time, fuel, and energy while increasing wear on equipment. Remote monitoring via Barn Owl Cameras allows you to reduce unnecessary trips across the farm. By strategically placing cameras, you can: Check fences and gates remotely Monitor remote pasture areas View grain bins or equipment storage The combination of motion alerts and live streaming means you only need to physically visit a site when action is necessary. This saves time and reduces fatigue for operators, allowing them to focus on priority tasks during harvest. Additionally, this approach can improve safety, minimizing the risk of walking across fields with moving machinery or navigating uneven terrain during busy times. Less driving and walking doesn’t just save time—it gives you a clearer view of your operation, ensures timely intervention, and keeps harvest season running efficiently.
