    Anybody ever try one of these? An ad popped up on a youtube video and it looks promising.

    Trophyline 20% OFF END OF THE YEAR FLASH SALE. PROMO CODE: NEWYEAR20 ENDS 12/31/21 11:59 PM.

    Yeah I got it since I already had the Helium sticks and it was cheap. Thought I would be able to skip having to haul and attach a separate platform. Did not work out as I had hoped.

    Gear straps and hangers

    I DIY'ed something extremely similar to this. The home depot hook is a better option than what I am using. I think I will upgrade to this for my bow hook, great video!

    Trophyline 20% OFF END OF THE YEAR FLASH SALE. PROMO CODE: NEWYEAR20 ENDS 12/31/21 11:59 PM.

    Picked up an EDP with the 20% coupon. It will sure beat standing on the Hawk HSP Platform, that thing is no bueno. I found myself preferring to just stand on my sticks to that thing, it will take absolutely zero side pressure. Too bad I've got to wait 9 months to hunt with the EDP!

    Hawk Mini Sticks - Bent Steps

    Update: I have heard horror stories about the bad customer service with Hawk. I went ahead and filed a warranty claim with them for the bent steps on my sticks. I attached the receipt of purchase, a few photos of the bent steps, and a brief explanation of what was wrong. I was fully expecting to...

    I CAN’T KEEP MY FEET WARM

    I picked up a pair of Trukke snowmobile boots for $8 at a thrift store last year like the ones linked below and use them for late season here in MN. They are so warm I only have to wear just a pair of regular socks when it's in the single digits...

    Hawk Mini Sticks - Bent Steps

    I run between 210 and 220. I changed most of the bent ones with the extra steps I had taken off to attach the HSP platform. I hunted with them this morning and made sure they were good and set to the tree before stepping on. I tend to get in a rush getting up the tree and I really took my time...

    Hawk Mini Sticks - Bent Steps

    I guess it is possible that I may have dropped them from height while forgetting to close the steps in but I believe I remember noticing the first bent step while removing the stick from the tree on my descent, stick was normal on ascent. I use the daisy webbing that came with the sticks and...

    Hawk Mini Sticks - Bent Steps

    I got a set of Hawk mini sticks at the beginning of the season. I've used them maybe a dozen times this year. There are a few steps that are now slightly bent to where they don't quite fit back in the slot when you fold the steps in. There are one or two that are noticeably torqued and bent to...

    Looking for deal on first saddle

    After researching what Detect was talking about, I would be interested in one of the Notch Sentry Floating D harnesses in a size 2 if anyone has one they would be willing to part with for around that sale price.

    Looking for deal on first saddle

    I am around a 38” waist, give or take 2” depending on my diet. I have a HSS tether and lineman’s belt that I use with my hang on. I believe the only things I don’t have for a saddle set up is the saddle and bridge.

    Looking for deal on first saddle

    If anyone has a spare saddle they would be willing to part with for free or at a discounted cost. I would like to be able to try out saddle hunting but am currently unable to drop the $200-300 necessary to get in the game due to some family medical bills. I am currently hunting out of a Hawk...
