    Tracking mystery

    Believe me, I bobbed and twisted in my saddle to find any decent window through the cedar trees with light fading. 6 o'clock position real thick cover in the swamp. Wanted to push a hail mary, but also didn't want to spook him off (thinking I would have a blood trail). Sent from my SM-G950U...

    Agreed! Well said and thank you. You know as I now do, these thoughts will never leave me and I will be better for it. The hunting community deserves that! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    No apology needed. I'm getting the feedback I had hoped for and expected with this great group of hunters. We're all resources to each other. We all should be chastised when needed, but also taught so as to further our experience and knowledge. I knew this was a risk and counted on my equipment...

    Good. Makes sense to me. Will certainly re-educate myself on angles and dilligence. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Thanks for all the comments and constructive feedback. I dont disagree with any of you and will feed my lessons forward. Still bewildered about this. I suppose now that a shot through ribs and lung makes the most sense. Still though I would expect to see more blood than the single spot that was...

    Tracking mystery

    Buck walked under me and I shot at him while he was walking straight away at 15 yards. Last light, but still clearly visible that close. Aimed just left of spine inside front shoulder. Deer ran 20 more yards and stopped him with a grunt. He stayed there 20 minutes bobbing his head at the ground...

    Silent Approach ROS/DanO ocb buckle

    I exclusively used the bullmans last season and tested different diy improvements like strap widths, ratchets and screws to help the step bite. I was also concerned with the ratchet noise, but also minimizing packing size. By seasons end I had em good and tight with a 1.5" ratchet strap and...

    Bullman Ros

    Spent my first season with a saddle dedicated to the Bullmans as ROS. The cinch strap they come with did not keep 5 steps tight enough. Still not to my liking with a 1" ratchet strap. Found a 1.5" ratchet strap at home depot that did the trick. I also had added 2 screws through each step to get...
