    Packing out deer (backpack) question

    We're big fans of the MR Popups, (we have three), but you can definitely get it done with the military pack.

    Louisiana meet and hunt

    It’s difficult for me to commit due to caring for my ailing father, but I’m interested and would like to meet and hunt. I live near Thibodaux. I’ve gone out to Clear Creek WMA the last two years and hope to go again next month. Archery opens September 19..

    2020 Broadhead choice?

    We’ve had stellar success with Rage Hypodermics on our small to medium piney woods deer and pigs. G5 Montecs do the trick on too. Both 100 grain. My son arrowed a cow elk with a Montec last year. She went down in under a hundred yards. I’m interested in heavy arrows and single bevels, but not...

    What bow is everyone shooting this year?

    Bowtech Carbon Icon I shoot it well and kill deer and pigs with it. Best of all it weighs 5 exactly pounds loaded out including the release. I do a lot of ground hunting and slipping around, so 5# is sweet.

    Hickory Creek Koolaid

    I was hesitant to buy the Mini, but everything else I looked at was too heavy or too expensive. I spoke with Jerry and got his assurance that I could send the Mini back for a full refund if we didn’t like it. He gave us a week to try it. Out of the box it felt awkward and I was sure we’d send it...

    Hickory Creek Koolaid

    I’m a long time bow hunter. I bought a HC mini for my wife. We’re very happy with it and I will probably hunt with it on public when she’s not using it. Nutterbuster, has several kills and I’m sure he’ll respond soon. Until then: The set up comes ready to hunt. The arrows are good. I just bought...

    How do you get your deer out. What kind of terrain?

    Hawk Crawler for around the camp and on the lease. Break them down, bag’em and pack’em out in a MR popup 28 on public.

    What sling are you using? How do you attache it? I'm a still hunter at heart and that's where I'm hoping the Mini will really shine.

    Got mine last month. My wife took ownership of it the second day of testing! Jerry and his wife are a pleasure to deal with. I hope to have kill pics in October.

    Convert Lifeguard to Safeguard (Spring Removal)

    I too have a Lifeguard I'd like to convert. I emailed Mad Rock and got this response just now. "You would need to grind off the center rivet to be able to access and remove the spring. Afterwards you would need the correct riveting machine to put it back together to correct specs. We do not...

    Auto block back ups..... descending?

    Prusik for me. I haven’t descended fast enough for it to get hot and I’m generally not descending more that 25’ after removing my platform and stick.
