    When does it happen?

    Im setting a reminder to come back here next October/November once I get the job done :):):)

    When does it happen?

    Shot was 35 yards, quartering away. And he came exactly where I didn’t expect him to . My heart was beating so fast, I couldn’t believe I had the opportunity and probably torqued the bow during release. It’s a lot harder when something is alive in front of you vs. a target. Thanks everyone for...

    When does it happen?

    Tomorrow will officially end my 3rd season of hunting whitetails. I’m 27... a lot of family members are into it but I got a late start. It’s been three years, hunted hard, learned a lot, and have definitely had opportunities. Just couldn’t close. This year I missed my target buck. Shot high and...

    Wild edge steps

    Might I suggest something which has worked for me, but you need to be very careful with the knot - setup an aider to help cinch it down with your feet. I have a prusik knot cinched down where I connect an aider , and use leverage to get it rediculously tight. I also aider climb with them

    Wild edge steps bent...

    camming it in. I'm pretty sure that the ropes were on the right side tho, so not sure exactly how it happened.

    Wild edge steps bent...

    Anyone who has experience the "bending", how did you fix it? I don't want to have to use the climber in a pinch but I might have to if I can't get up the tree

    Wild edge steps

    Pros - very simple, relatively lightweight, 4 with an aider (I like to attach a prussik to the step to connect the aider so no metal on metal/better grip) will get you 20-25 feet easy. I've been using the step as a platform, but I will without a doubt buy a predator for next season. They just...

    I do. I basically straddle the tree... Comfortable for me.

    Had my first real hunting sits with a saddle this weekend...

    Honestly, getting that tether height is crucial. For me, no higher than eye level makes a huge difference. The other thing is making sure the saddle is low enough below my belt. I started to really get a nice cupping. When I got a little pinch, all I did was deweight slightly, and adjust the...

    Can see white on my amsteel??

    It feels real solid. It must be the bit of amsteel poking through the braid. I also noticed the discoloration, hah

    Can see white on my amsteel??

    Can someone plz help reassure me here that this is totally normal? I noticed in my amsteel bridge that I can see white in a few places. I don't think it's frayed - maybe just has to do with the splice? A bit of a novice when it comes to that stuff.

    Had my first real hunting sits with a saddle this weekend...

    Honestly, I'm blown away. The level of versatility in the tree is incredible. And the comfort is great. Little discomfort here and there but I found the key is every now and then make a few adjustments to change pressure points. I'm using a large mantis and finally figured out how to get my...

    Wild edge steps with etrier method...how to hook on step?

    that awesome. eliminates the noise from metal to metal and puts you a bit away from the tree. ill try this with a fifi hook and paracord to pull it up. what size rope are you using here? i tried using the fifi hook on the bottom pick part, but it seems just a little too close to the tree. had a...
