    my experience with Treestuff.com

    My experience; in-stock product was really backordered and the system showed shipped when it was not. Their CSR's will go the extra mile which is what saves them IMO. Truth is though the CSR's are that way because they are making up for the shortcomings of their their processes internally. I...

    Pecan trees

    The property I hunt is an old pecan orchard, lots of old "wide" trees like you described. I use em but they are a pain and only if it is "the" tree I need to be in as noxninja said. Been splicing ropes to get around them and they are hard to climb as you can't get leverage on the tree while...

    I've made up my mind.... Change it.

    I cannot even imagine taking my wife hunting! If her fidgeting and perfume didn't alert em she would talk their ears off!

    I've made up my mind.... Change it.

    Never been in one of these saddles yet but I based my kestrel decision on the same reasoning. Time tested. I'll look at the mantis in a couple of years after tetherd and I have more seat time. There will likely be some new "innovations" from both of these companies by then as they compete for...

    Big & Tall

    6'5" @ 250'ish w/ size 15 boot and age 50. New to hunting mostly and decided on a saddle to get me in the trees (a taught tether makes more sense to me than a sling). Don't have my kestrel or my ropeman1's yet so been hanging in a weaver saddle so far using hawk sticks to climb and as top...

    Slow Start to 2018 Season

    I feel your pain, spent most of the weekend dealing with flooding. Still was able to get out and sit a couple of times, testing the no-scent theory. ;-)

    Gut shot deer - what 2 do

    So in a nutshell, it’s a bad situation. I need to be extra careful to only take shots I am confident in. If it happens, best chance of tracking it will be to give enough time to weaken and hope it doesn’t travel far. Appreciate you guys taking the time to explain. Hopefully I’ll never need to...
