    Air Rifle for squirrels

    I need to thin down the squirrels after deer season goes out in a few places I like to hunt and around my house. What’s a good air rifle to help me achieve this task? My budget will probably be 300.00 tops. Just looking for accurate and effective.

    If you were going to invest in new arrows…

    Been shooting CE Maxima XRZ. Fine arrows. No issues, except seems like they are being discontinued. Hunt style is 30 yards shots from a saddle. Nothing out West. What’s a quality arrow I should look into to switch over once my XRZ supply has diminished?

    DIY Licking Branch

    Anyone set up a DIY licking branch to get an inventory of bucks? I’ve tried in the past, at best I seem to just get sporadic attention from the deer. Any tips to increase the effectiveness? I typically use a native vine for the branch, and a pre orbital scent.

    Deer ducking bow shots

    Sitting around today, watching some of the YouTube stars bow hunt deer. Now, a lot of things go into whether a deer ducks at a shot or not, but one thing I thought I noticed was deer in the open, like an Ag field, or the meadows of the mountain states, seemed to duck more often than say a deer...

    Sticks going up, rappelling down?

    How many guys stick climb up, then still rappel out of the tree? What are the pros and cons? I’ve been playing with doing this at like 5 feet off the ground. I’m pondering this setup for this year. Do you guys hang on your rappel rope? Separate tether then switch to rappel rope? I’m naturally a...

    LW top vs. LW bottom?

    I recently bought a LW sit and climb. I intend to use either the top or the bottom in a hybrid climbing platform. Obviously both need to be modded to compliment a saddle situation. Which one do you prefer?

    One sticking. Do you use separate tethers?

    I for some reason, use a tether to climb and hang while in the saddle. I then switch over to a different line to rappel down at the end of the hunt. I am the only one who does this? Feel like I am carrying extra things I could go without.

    Rope Switch?

    Last year I used Oplux to rappel down with a figure 8 and autoblock. Every once in a while, despite adding as many wraps as possible to the autoblock, I would still slowly be descending on rappel even while not tending the autoblock. Would a thicker rope, such as Canyon Elite possibly help? It...

    How do you silence this stuff?

    Newbie here. I’m one sticking and rappelling down with a figure 8. I use an EDP platform. What do you use to silence the metal to metal contact? Like the buckle on the EDP or the figure 8 and carabiners?

    Help a noob decide

    Going to try this saddle approach for next season. But I’m getting my gear now so I can be 100% comfortable with everything by the time season comes in. Im pretty set on the cruzr xc from my research on the actual saddle. My questions are more about ropes. Do you want an adjustable bridge...

    Dipping my toe in here....

    So, I’ve been lurking for a while, doing my research, trying to get a handle on this saddle thing for the 2021 season. I currently use a Treewalker climber. I just saw a set of carbon fiber sticks from Timber Ninja. I realize they are probably too new to have any definitive reviews. But for...
