    tired of getting lost

    Got turned around in the woods this spring turkey hunting. I was using the HuntWise app on my phone and killed my battery. Luckily I knew which direction the road was but was still a nerve racking feeling being “lost”. To make matters worse, when I hit the road finally, I went the wrong...

    Kifaru “Saddle Pouch”

    Would be an expensive “saddle pouch” but looks like the Kifaru Gen 2 water bottle pouch could be used to haul ropes. Not sure how loud it would be being cordura though. https://kifaru.net/store/accessories/pockets/water-bottle-pocket-gen-2/

    Potential Black Bear Sign

    Found two different unusual piles of scat while bow hunting an area of public for whitetail. A quick google search shows that it could potential be a black bear. Should I completely abandoned this area or will deer still move through there? If the wind is blowing from the west, there is a nice...

    Bad Luck or Lousy Hunter?

    At the risk of sounding stupid, is that a bad strategy even when there’s rutted up and looking for does?

    Bad Luck or Lousy Hunter?

    Two buck encounters on the same piece of public and screwed up both of them. 1st encounter was a 4 point on Sunday afternoon/evening. Found a tree that looked to be pretty decent but after getting to height and setup, it had a slight lean and was trying to pull me to one side. Tried to tough it...

    Passed On My First Saddle/Bow Kill

    In WV we have until the end of December for bow season, so I still have plenty of chances to knock one (or a few) down hopefully. Also, our two week rifle season is coming up.

    Pipe and cigar talk

    While I’m not an avid cigar smoker, I did get some of these for my buddy after him and his wife had their gender reveal party for their little girl. https://www.famous-smoke.com/oliva-connecticut-reserve-robusto-cigars-natural Seemed pretty good, a lot better than any other cigar I’ve had.

    Passed On My First Saddle/Bow Kill

    I hate to pass up the opportunity on good meat but I don’t think she had enough on her to justify the hassle of gutting and dragging her, if I would have put a good shot on her and put her down. Now, if she was a two year or older doe, I wouldn’t have thought twice if given the same...

    One Stick Repelling Device

    I have decided that I’m going to give “one sticking” a try next season. I’ve scoured the forums and topics on what I’ll need supply wise but I was wondering what a safe alternative to use is instead of a mad rock safeguard? Trying to keep a slim budget at first to try out the climbing method...

    Cold Weather Saddle Hunting

    Are you buying one size larger on your mid and outer layers to account for layering? Having any issues climbing or drawing your bow, having 3 or 4 layers on top and bottom?

    Sell me on an alternative climbing stick to my 30” Hawk Heliums

    How long of a step are you running on the knaider? What kind of height are you getting on the cut down heliums vs the minis with the knaider?
