    Rattling techniques

    Has anyone ever heard of dangling antlers on a string at ground level while setting up in tree and doing a rattling sequence? I heard about it on a episode of southern outdoorsman podcast. I would love to know how they do it exactly. Are there any YouTube video on it?

    Big guy climbing

    Hello everybody, I’m new to tree saddle hunting. I just bought the Tethrd phantom saddle and used it once. I love the thing, very comfortable even for a big guy. I’m 6 foot and weigh 260 pounds. I tried using a lone wolf hand climber seat for climbing and it didn’t work out to well for me. My...
