    Water access for deer hunting.

    That SportsPal is a great canoe and I have a Raddison that is very similar and works great as it is lined with foam and has oar locks with oars and has a square stern. I took the attached 9 point using it in 2007. I also took a state record using a pair of chest waders in 1981 from public land...

    Would you hunt a 2 acre property?

    I took the attached 10 point in 2014 off a 2 acre parcels (primarily cattails and red brush) surrounded by larger tracts of hunting land with oodles of hunters. Nobody had ever asked to hunt the property before because it was too small. The quality of a property far exceeds the quantity and a...

    For the wind and odor guys

    Scent control is a matter of degree and the wind can be overcome and for the last 20 seasons I've paid zero attention to wind direction and do not get winded and for my first 34 season I paid 100% attention to wind, morning and afternoon thermals, and swirling winds caused by terrain features...

    Advice to get from Average Hunter to “Bigger Buck” / Mature buck Hunter

    This is very good advice however, you need to know what methods to change to and they differ according to where you hunt, the amount and type of hunting pressure, daily and seasonal timing for every location, comfort in tree height, properly scouting for mature buck daytime signposts, being able...

    All day sits and pooping

    Take a 1 1/2 gallon ZipLok bag and either slide your saddle down to your knees or up under your armpits and go in the bag and after you wipe seal it all up and put in your pack. Done it many times and it isn't that difficult.

    easier to use with quartered deer in hilly woodlands: jet sled or frame pack?

    Depends on whether your deer is killed on top of a hill and all you have to do is go downhill. In that case the Otter sled (Jetsleds are very poor in construction compared to Otter) would be easier and faster. If you have to go up and down hills and there is a lot of deadfall trees, a sled is...

    Apology for not writing ESS instructions

    I feel like I owe an apology to anyone that has purchased or has considered purchasing an "Eberhart Signature Saddle" (ESS) because I have been too busy with my regular job to put together an instructional sheet explaining the many advantages it has vs. other saddles and how to properly put it...

    High Noon Whitetails - John Eberhart

    That is an awesome mature buck and great story. From Patriot: that will be done in a post season scouting video or 2. Ricky: the more pressured the area, the more midday movements and that is why so many in Michigan.

    Do deer get used to human scent?

    Only on TV where they hunt in zoo like conditions with zero competition and bucks are allowed to pass by them until they are old enough to entertain the audience.

    Need advice

    Part 4 Hunting Parameters It is a good plan to only hunt within the confines of a bedding area two or three times per season because you may get picked due to lack of tree foliage as cover or may spook a buck in the area with a hot doe during your entry and or exit. No matter the location or...

    Part 3 Scouting and location preparation Scouting and preparing locations within bedding areas should only be done during post season which is between seasons end and spring green up which typically begins in late April. Wait for the ground to be bare of snow before any scouting happens...

    Need advice

    Part 2 When bucks sporting their first, second, and in some instances third set of antlers have knowingly passed by hunters with no negative consequences, they have no reason to nearly halt or alter their daytime movement habits. The types of hunting areas I am referring to when suggesting...

    Need advice

    Totally depends on how many other good bedding areas are within his core area. The more options he has to bed in, the more apt that if you spook him, he may not return. Also depends on the size and make-up of the bedding area and when your opener is. If it were me and this was a new option...

    Difficult terrain deer hauling

    Versa cart with angled tires for timber, Otter sled for snow, and a Radisson canoe for water. Otter by far makes the best sled as it has thicker plastic. 90% of the deer I kill are taken out by myself because I normally hunt alone.

    Shoot through mesh

    100% agree with CamoMan - never shoot an arrow with a broad head through anything and expect accuracy. My guess is that if there were taught mesh and you were shooting perfectly perpendicular through it with let's say a fixed blade 1 1/8 inch cut head, it likely wouldn't alter the flight, but...

    Binoculars?

    Vortex is the most popular because they are in the hands of the most TV personalities that get paid to endorse them and they are the most profitable for the stores that sell them. Vortex would not make my top 10 list of good optics companies as they are a sourced glass from the orient and the...
