    Show Us Those Hunting Bikes

    So my advice on the thumb throttle in three pics. Pic #1 shows the thumb throttle and a white square I put on there for reference. Pic #2 shows how not to use the throttle because with all the bouncing you won’t be able to control it. Pic #3 shows how to position your thumb, you press on the...

    Show Us Those Hunting Bikes

    Still going strong! Other than the niggling little annoyances that I mentioned at the beginning of the thread it still works for what I got it for.….flat ground. Lot’s of hills and you will need a mid drive. The newer model of my bike is even better as it now comes with a torque sensor vice a...

    GPS wandering

    I’ve never found phone nav to be very accurate and the associated apps are only as good as the phone. They are good enough to get you in and out and close but I find that my hand held gps gets me to the tree better, but it‘s not perfect either. I find that a limb leaned up against the tree I...

    Using this for a quick link

    Not exactly the same, but make sure you watch what you are doing when using biners like that. When I use backups, they are more for backing up human mistakes than equipment failures.

    2024 Off-Season Getting/Staying In Shape Motivation Thread

    Sweet, I climbed Sherman. It’s kind of a rock pile, but there really is no bad 14er when you are standing on top. Quandary is nice and real popular, it’s a little north of Sherman. Hope you get the opportunity to go, but whatever you do, have a great time on your trip!

    Well, I don’t want to spoil it for you, but if you make it this is what it looks like on top of Mt. Massive! It’s Awesome!

    2024 Off-Season Getting/Staying In Shape Motivation Thread

    You should look at bagging a “14er” while you are there. Over 50 14,000 ft Peaks that are just begging to be climbed with most having well defined and maintained trails to the top. I bagged about 26 while I was stationed at NORAD and all offer amazing views for sure! One stop shopping right...

    2024 Off-Season Getting/Staying In Shape Motivation Thread

    Oh me, same story as every year. Get motivated after season in January, go hard, hurt myself, spend a few months healing, then get back at it lol. Went hard on the dips, leading to inflammation of my shoulder, leading to frozen shoulder, leading to MRI with 50% tear in one of the tendons...

    NC Dismal Swamp ???

    Man I kinda cringe everytime I think about what it would take to get a deer out of there, so I’m not ashamed to admit that I have no desire to try and push a 300lb ball of dough outta there. Want a bear….kill a deer and just wait a minute.

    NC Dismal Swamp ???

    Dude! I totally forgot about the mosquitoes. I came out of there one day and almost had to go to the hospital for a couple of bags of blood Ha! Ha! Do NOT go into that place without a Thermacell and a headnet. Won’t need them 100% of the time, but when you do, you had better have them for sure!

    NC Dismal Swamp ???

    Yep, you can hunt both sides, with the associated state license and a purchased permit from the Recaccess site. They just opened it wide open a couple of years ago. Used to be a draw/permit kind of deal and it was a very limited draw. I have to tell you though, it’s not a stroll in the woods...

    Standard issue….too much too fast. Tore my shoulder up doing dips. Ortho exam in a week prolly rotator cuff repair after that. Sucks getting old.…but it’s better than not getting any older!

    Virginia group chat/possible meet up?

    I’m certainly no shed hunting expert, but logically I would think success wold primarily hinge on deer density and mathematical probability. Either your your buck to acre ratio is high or you are looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack. Since I’m not an expert, I’m not sure how much...

    Yep, I squished a doe last year, so I just tagged her and took her home. She was still alive and I had to finish her off with my xbow. It takes a lot longer for them to die when they are just laying there instead of running away. Man that was hard to watch, but it had to be done.
