    Found a shed, then saw the buck.

    Red I hear you. I'm always torn at the end of the season too. I actually wish our deer season would close sooner so I could just focus on scouting but we go until like what, Feb. 20th? Crazy... That's why I'm scout/hunting as much as possible. I bring as little as possible (though it...

    Found a shed, then saw the buck.

    There's always a possibility it's not his...and maybe I'm assuming too much, but the side I found was as identical a match to the buck I watched for a little while as I can imagine, just a slightly smaller version. The buck and the shed have a little bump where most would grow a G3 and neither...

    Philly Cheese Venison recipe

    Wow man! Way to get out there and get it done! My life isn't nearly that crazy and I still have trouble finding time to get out there as much as I want. (maybe my expectations are too high) lol I can't imagine if I had to endure what you have all in one season. You are burning both ends of...

    DIY versa buttons

    Red, not sure what you intend to do with diy versa buttons, but those dual buttons scare me. This may be obvious to you already, but don't want to see anyone get hurt. The way the lonewolf versa button works is the opposing forces equal out the pressure. One button with both ends of the strap...

    Found a shed, then saw the buck.

    So the other day I was out scout/hunting an area I had never been. As I'm making my way through a section that looked very promising on the maps, I come across a fork horn shed. 1.5 year old deer and last years shed, so didn't think much of it. Stuck it in my pack and eventually found an area...

    Philly Cheese Venison recipe

    Thanks guys, it is delicious and hopefully you guys get to try it and enjoy it. Red, I'm good. How about you? I shot one big doe this year and passed 3 mature bucks that I probably should have shot (especially one of them)...I just didn't feel right dropping the string because I knew of two...

    How Do You Dry Jerky?

    I dry my jerky in the oven. I do it almost exactly like this guy and it's pretty darn good, better than a lot of peoples jerky I've tried...they make shoe leather. I want it a chewy. I leave mine in the cure/spices for 36ish hours. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWBk_F_DkQQ I've also added...

    Philly Cheese Venison recipe

    Been a while since I've been on, glad to see the site flourishing. I only hunted out of a saddle once this season, but figured I could contribute with my "philly cheese venison" recipe. I'm not the best cook, but I've got a few things I do well and this is one that most people seem to really...

    Morrell Polypropolene Target Faces

    Yeah Scott, I've printed targets in the past. The thing is, by the time I make sure it's exactly regulation size and use up tons of printer ink to make them, I might as well have bought them and saved myself the trouble. lol If I didn't shoot so much and need it to be exactly like it is in a...

    Morrell Polypropolene Target Faces

    I've been wanting to get back into target archery lately, but I feel like I'm wasting so much paper shooting practice games on paper faces. So I found this morrell face online and ordered it. http://www.ruralking.com/polypropylene-face-3-spot.html Here's what it looks like at the end of one...

    New Strings

    Yeah I never made my own broadheads swampsnyper, so that's beyond me. I do know a person that did/does though. I was always more into the compound side, but enjoyed hunting with a recurve. Scott, I hear you. I've been working on archery tackle since about 1995 and I've seen the good the bad and...

    Webbing ascender

    Scott, please bear with the rough paint sketch, but imagine the following. - green strap is your bridge - the blackish grey strap is the strap you described that goes around the tree and bridge - the light blue spots are sewing to create loops. - the red is the adjuster side of the cobra buckle...

    New Strings

    Good for you Scott! A lot of guys have no clue how to do anything to their bows. I used to make a partial living off of doing all of that stuff for them, but now I usually just help people for free. I love archery too much to exploit it, so I'm always willing to show people how to do this...

    Some of my self filmed videos

    Some outstanding videos there man. I had to laugh at the end of the first video, that's the way I feel most days in general. lol Hunting with traditional gear is the most fun out of all the hunting I've done. I've only killed a hand full of animals with a recurve, but they were some of the...

    What arrow do you use for deer?

    Oh and I agree with this above. Sounds potentially dangerous. Unless they are cut really short with a light point and heavy rear, they are very likely under-spined out of a 72# bow. Also, I don't remember GT making a 4560, but carbon express did, and they are right around .400 - .420 spine if I...

    What arrow do you use for deer?

    I was fortunate enough to win a dozen of these a few weeks ago. I couldn't make up my mind on the SS half-outs from BE, so after thinking it over I finally cut them to length and installed brass HIT inserts instead and homemade lighted X-nocks (my version is about 2 grains lighter than...

    Hunting Saddles, can you explain the difference.

    http://www.fieldsupply.com/xop-climbing ... set-3.html Found them, unfortunately, SOLD OUT! Keep an eye on it, not sure if they will come back in stock or not. If not, maybe Ebay or Amazon or direct from XOP.

    Sewing with braided fishing line

    LOL Thank GOD! Thanks for clearing that up. After seeing that sew job and thinking you did that by hand...then looking at something I've sewn by hand, I was sizing up a foam helmet for myself!

    Backcountry Deer/Turkeys - Gear List/Insight

    I should add that handwarmers are another way I stay alive on the cheap. Carry a few just in case the temps dip well below what you expected to encounter. Put them in your sleeping bag or hammock with you and they provide good heat. Get one near your feet and one near your kidneys or chest. It...

    Backcountry Deer/Turkeys - Gear List/Insight

    Red, I have a durable reflective tarp that goes around my UQ for extra wind/cold protection. For going to the ground, I made it so it quickly detaches from the hammock and I fold into a sleep "pad". (It's mostly just insulation from the ground, but it does provide a little cushioning and...
