I sat the morning in NJ; 3/4 of the way to the top of a mountain, and they were cruising! I was about 120 yds. too low, and nothing really wanted to respond, even though I'm not much on calling lol! Saw at least on really good one! Did a little post-sit scouting and figured even more out. I know where I want to be next Saturday!
I sat the evening in PA, it was almost 80dF and it pretty much rained the whole time... I passed about an 80 lb. bear at 10 yds., if it was about 150 lb. I probably would've shot although I have a dislike for the work they bring lol (especially when it's warm)... No deer even spotted. On the other hand I'm glad I made my haul/retrieval line the same length as my rappel line, because I was just at the edge of having enough line to hit the ground (almost had to utilize my platform or my Killdeer tether). The Sladder makes it very easy to hunt whatever height you want...
Also dealt with a gear carrying setup failure, four different times in two hunts, time to replace/mod things again. Evidently laser-cut molle doesn't work as well for certain buckles as does web molle. I also realized that although I like multi-use items, I've literally only ever used the lineman's loops on my saddle/harness and I've never even attempted to use the ones on my belt (so they're going away too).
