    Kayak Landing Gear

    Well, I decided to get back into hunting from my kayak. I am starting with pig hunting and crappie/white bass season. I think it is kind of crazy that I hunted more from water access when I didn’t even own a canoe/kayak than I have in the past 3 years of owning a kayak. I previously BORROWED...

    Oklahoma bill looks to DOUBLE non-resident cost

    An Oklahoma state senator is looking to Double The tag prices (making a deer license $600), and reduce the bag limits BY HALF, for all nonresident hunters to “reduce the number of nonresidents on WMA’s”...

    Hunting related 3D print files???

    Where’s the best place to find hunting related 3D print files? Thingiverse, Makerworld, cults3D, etc… seem to have very limited options or I just can’t find the right keyword groups to find good parts. My brother recently got a BambuLab X1 Carbon and is more than willing to print parts for free...

    First buck in 100 years…

    Warning… dissertation ahead… I’m not on here much anymore, but I lived on this forum in the old days… I just couldn’t help myself after the day I’ve had… maybe some of the old guys are still on here to see this. I’ve been hunting my whole life, but the only piece of family ground we have...

    Most pattern-able public land buck?

    This has got to be the most consistent, pattern-able mature buck I have ever seen on public land. I wasn’t able to hunt this season because i spent almost all of deer season in a boot. After I had finally recovered enough, i pulled cameras late last week and found a pleasant surprise… this...

    Permanent Trail Camera Power Project

    I blew out my ankle this year just before my season started and haven’t been able to swap batteries or pull cards on any cameras. Most cameras will be dead (or memory cards full) by now, as i run video mode on everything and the batteries have been running since may. Losing a hunting season...

    New saddle I hadn’t seen...

    I had this saddle pop up on Instagram and hadn’t seen it before. I searched on here and didn’t see anyone posting it either. It looks like the fleece saddles we used to make before Tethrd and Aerohunter changed the game. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Furniture grade dog crate

    Well it isn’t saddle related, but it is DIY.... I probably should have done this when the price of wood wasn’t so dang high, but the pup needs it now. He outgrew the last 2 crates and I didn’t want to buy a temporary one in his final size, as well as building one later. Kiln dried hardwood...

    You never know what you’ll find....

    I spent the whole day scouting and pulling cameras on one of my favorite hunting properties today. Woke up at 3am, got ready, drove 2.5 hours, hiked 2 miles, and set up with a spotting scope and camera to only see a few does first thing in the morning. After that, I slowly worked my way...

    SOLD: Please Close

    Well, work is as slow as I’ve ever seen in my career so I find myself having to be creative to build funds for my arrow setup for the year. As such, I’m selling these Climb Right aluminums (with aluminum pads) to help that cause. $180 shipped TYD in the lower 48 (Canada is too expensive)...

    This could have been worse!

    Well, my grandmother’s house and the family farm got hit by a small tornado yesterday. Most important thing is, she is okay. The farm structures and house took a lot of damage, though. A good portion of the house roof is gone, 2 barn roofs are gone, several small structures are completely gone...

    The kids get an extra week of spring break.

    Well, our school district announced an extension of spring break by a minimum of a week. A little over half have canceled out through the end of the month, so I expect ours will as well at some point. Time to figure out some childcare....

    @DaveT1963 and I hit the creeks and did some post season scouting. I cut together this video of some of the highlights of the day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I think it is time for a hiatus…

    It has become painfully apparent to me that the saddlehunter.com I fell in love with is dead and gone. The tattered fragments that remain are marred with tribalism, bickering, and bashing. I guess it was only inevitable that a group that has grown this large would eventually come to reflect the...

    New pellet grill... what do I need to cook?

    Christmas came a few days early for me. I got home from a work trip to find this gargantuan Green Mountain Grills Jim Bowie smoker! I was pretty good this year, but probably not good enough for this! Now the question is.... what recipes do I need to do? I think the first thing will be...

    What is your bowhunting workout program?

    I have always been a pretty small guy, and typically in generally good shape. But, I am planning to spend the next year really pushing myself into mountain shape. I’m hoping to do a solo back country OTC elk hunt in 11k-13k territory, and regardless of wether that happens I would like to be in...

    Weird genetic traits.....

    Have you ever come across weird genetic traits in a small local population? I have 2 separate spots with odd traits that are common there, but nowhere else nearby.... My Father’s property has a high prevalence of deer with double white patches on their necks. I never though much of it, just a...

    Public land buck down...

    I found a wild pear tree last November that dropped pears from early October until almost December. I knew it would be a gold mine for this year, so I made it a high priority for this season. I speed scouted and checked cameras on the property it is on to narrow down what had the freshest sign...

    Dyneema Webbing

    I haven’t seen much mention of using Dyneema webbing for DIY projects, so I figured I’d start it off. I picked up 25’ of “Venom” from “Ripstop by the roll”. It is UHMWPE, which is the same “Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene” that is labeled as dyneema or amsteel in their respective...
