    Really expensive mistake

    Did it with my bow once. Lucky for me it was there the following evening and somehow I hadn’t ran it over. I lost a gps once and am not sure but I think I set it on the roof of my car, didn’t get that one back. So you’re definitely not the only one. Really does suck and I hope someone gets...

    Trail Cam Bans

    Hey everyone, due to a recent trail camera thread I can't help but wonder what everyone's thoughts are on potential trail cam bans as of late.

    Do you know these two? Shawnee State Forest

    Worth it to me, yes. I think you’re right in that sometimes they do ruin spots and they probably do more harm than good for a lot of hunters. I know it’s happened to me before but you learn. If you start placing cameras inconspicuously and let ‘em soak you might find next years kill spot.

    Do you know these two? Shawnee State Forest

    I would say absolutely. Also depends if your just trying to kill deer or trying to kill a particular deer or class of deer.

    Do you know these two? Shawnee State Forest

    I had a few stolen in southern Ohio as well. Seems that theft has gone up with their popularity and this public land resurgence. If it becomes a point of contention they’ll probably get banned on public land. I’ll be sad but maybe they should be.

    anyone else see this? panther climbing platform

    This is great really. Not to bash the others but this is the first legitimate option I've seen for a climbing platform that might be worth a try for me. As with any new product I'm curious to see how it holds up, especially their band system.

    High or Low

    Low early morning or late evening, high just above a good bench or drainage crossing the rest of the day in the rut.

    Beast Broadhead looking good.

    This feels like some kind of brand name infringement. When I first saw this I thought Dan was following suit (LWCG) and coming out with a broadhead.

    2TC with both feet and a lineman?

    https://saddlehunter.com/community/index.php?threads/simple-stirrups-climb-video.4317/#post-200672 Maybe try researching stirrup climb and justsomedude, he was one of the pioneers of that method a long time ago. I tried variations of that, you can add a lineman, you can add a ropeman/ascender...

    LWCG Crossover Climber

    You’re right, that really did transform the entire “mobile hunting industry”. Hard to believe it’s changed that much in 5 yrs. It really begs the question as to what extent is it intentional? I know many small and new companies have come along and been humbled by the process but some of these...

    I like their stuff but soon as that date was given I knew, ain’t no way.

    Trail cam Batteries

    The reveal works good with alkaline. You can get a few months out of them fairly easily in low deer density areas and I really haven’t seen any performance issues other than not working in extreme cold days but I’ve also had lithiums stop working for a day or two in extreme cold.

    New Gear for 2023, Go!

    I’d be really interested in hearing how the seat works or what the seat is supposed to be. Can’t find any pictures or videos of it or any pictures or videos of anyone actually sitting in it so I’m curious what the deal is with that cause there is more to it than what is shown otherwise it’d...
