    Public Hunting around Athens Ohio

    They did away with that rule. See page 8 of the '23-'24 reg book. It's now just one antlerless from all public hunting areas per license year.

    Multiple Climbing Methods and Sets of Gear

    This is how I've been doing it this season with platforms but I don't trust leaving my SRT rope in the tree so I leave paracord presets. It's the old time vs money.

    Question on adjustments

    I would try lowering your bridge connections, as in moving them down towards the bottom of the saddle more, so it is scooping up your arse more which may alleviate it riding up. If you feel like you're "hanging from a rope", your tether is too high. To me when everything is just right, I feel...

    Freak Accidents and Near Misses

    Just did this Sunday trying to get down into a ravine covered in wet leaves only I had a freaking 12volt battery and a game camera in a drawstring sack on my back. I slammed onto those so hard all I could hear was my back cracking all over. Thought for sure I broke my back. I did crack the...

    Muddy lifeline rope for saddle hunting

    A couple years ago I bought a 3 pack of Muddy Lifelines to use for my hang-ons that stay up. First one out of the package the core was poking out through the sheath on one spot. I was in shock, how could a piece of life safety gear come like this brand new??? I milked "most" of the core back...

    Attaching sticks while climbing

    Oh I'm all about DIY, I guess that's what I'm gonna have to do. I like the concept of the 3D printed molle clips and elastic loop on your stick because you don't even have to look down. Just lift the stick up and it comes free. I can sew and I made my first saddle on my cheap machine but I...

    Attaching sticks while climbing

    Always been an SRT person but just got some sticks because so many times the tree where I need to be doesn't have a crotch in the right place/no crotch/ too high, etc. My saddle only has a single row of molle and it's full however my pouches have D rings so I'm trying to figure out how to...

    Short Bridge

    This is what I did for my short bridge I added that I use for SRT climbing only. I bought a Metolius PAS shown here: https://www.metoliusclimbing.com/pas_personal_anchor_system.html I cut off the first small loop from the long one and only use the long one. This piece is designed to be...

    Suspenders

    Does your saddle have to have sewn in suspender loops to use those?

    Suspenders

    I saw these mentioned on here and they seemed like they would be perfect and they are. Minimalistic and I can put layers under and over them and you don't even know you're wearing them. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C6DWX28N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

    Climbing foot rope?

    This is what I wound up doing. The 25' of 7/64" amsteel, amsteel splicing needle and shipping was $12. I used high pressure fuel line I had already which is super thick and it worked perfectly. Climbed a tree with is this morning and it worked just like my Singing Rock foot loop however packs...
