    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...

    LWCG Crossover Climber

    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...

    Thanks for the heads up on this one.

    Rompola Buck Update

    So circumstantially I just can’t believe the buck is legit. But I struggle with what is the truth then. Did Mitch trick the scorers and how? Were the scorers in on it so he didn’t have to trick them? Was the deer real in some capacity and how did Mitch attain it? I don’t know if that end of...

    Rompola Buck Update

    I thought I read this somewhere before too but wasn't sure why it doesn't come up more. Although not an argument as to why he wouldn't x-ray it. I'd hate to think that someone is that sick that they were raising deer just to shoot it and claim fame and fortune. But it does make more sense to...

    Saw this "Saddles Are For Horses" t-shirt by Novix and didn't know if I should laugh or be disappointed...

    Wow, I don’t think they expected people to take it to heart like that. Just a little light hearted joking around. I thought it was kinda funny.

    Why don't yall 2TC?

    Used to call it stirrup climb. I had made one just using webbing. If you search for stirrup climb, I think it was justsomedude that I got my info from. Worked okay for me but I can’t hardly stay still in a saddle as it is let alone on a soft platform. Looks like there are better options for...

    Bedding in valleys and ridge spurs

    It's easy to get sucked in to the wind rules the experts come up with. Wind is a factor in where deer bed but so is pressure, topography, cover, food, and doe bedding. When I first started reading about leeward slopes, wind tunnels and what not I got sucked in. I was hunting the wind for a...
