    New Deer Cart!

    I like it! Definitely a wheel barrow / stretcher type cart. Will be nice because it doesn't look wider then your shoulders and will track well with the single wheel. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    Target bucks

    I should explain alittle better on my glassing. I still go in with my stand on my back and look for buck sign in know areas. Once I find it, I setup on my best guess of where I will kill a buck. I then glass that evening just trying to spot a buck. Usually they are within 100 yards of me. Then...

    Target bucks

    My favorite is swamps in and around farm country. I don't have true hill country around me, its about 2 or 3 hours away. I hunt a variety of big woods also with zero ag. I find the bucks in and around swamp areas. Usually in that 400-500 yards from crop fields. Majority of my hunting is on...

    Target bucks

    For me I start by getting a first hand visual of a buck that I want to target. It doesn't matter if public or private. Deer rarely stay on one property and roam. If I find a deer, I hunt him right away, often deer move areas week from week. If I can't pick the kill tree from a distance ( 100-200...

    What is this?

    Glow stick. Heard of people using them in the evening after a kill or last blood. That way they can return in the dark and find it easier. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    What am I doing wrong? Stand set

    Are you only attaching the top strap? If not don't put both straps on at the same time. It will cause it to not cam properly. Once cammed with just top strap and it's set, then you attach bottom strap, if you choose to use both. I personally don't and only use top strap only. Sent from my...

    Saw

    Wicked tree saw has been in my pack for 14 years and still works like the day I bought it. Silky would be my next one. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    Oldies, but Goodies...

    My first platform. Made from parts. It was a seat off a muddy stand. It actually worked perfect. Ended up taking it apart and putting seat back on stand and sold it. 2016-2017 era. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    1st Euro Mount

    My 2 bucks for this year. I like to boil. Then put 40 volume and creme whitener mix on them and hang over wood stove for day to activate the whitener. Entire process is done in a day. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    Standoffs pulling away from tree

    My .5 will do this also about 1 out of 5 trees. It's definitely just the strap isn't tight enough and requires more cam over. I just put my knee on my seat right above post and slightly toe hook the platform. Once the stand starts to slip down the tree, I stop toe hooking and push the platform...

    Shoot or Pass

    I say pass him. Very easy deer for you to recognize and a huge 8 pt is everyone's dream buck. With the jump in antler, could only imagine what is to come. Good luck on your decision! That will be a tough one! Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    Buck smell

    They most definitely smell this time of year. Usually the old ones seem worse to me. I can tell the second I run into that smell in the woods, there is a buck close. I have setup on that smell alone and seen the buck. I kind of explain it as a piss/battery acid smell. But I agree its a hard...
