    Give one tip on deer hunting

    Amazing insight. I’ve achieved success (the hard way) in trapping several groundhogs, rats, and mice over the last few years. Amazing how strategic it made me in pursuing my quarry. I knew my hunting days would be limited last year, so I devoured every data point I could find of my buck and doe...

    It's just...a little crush... - Review of the JX3 Hybrid Saddle

    I really like the JX-3 carabiners (black), have no concern with their strength, and their closure mechanism is smooth/secure. Not sure who the manufacturer is. I generally run a larger/more substantial carabiner up top. JX-3 ropes are good (though 11mm is pretty thick) but I was able to sell...

    It's just...a little crush... - Review of the JX3 Hybrid Saddle

    i’m a JX-3er of a couple years now. I’ve had a few hiccups with tuning it in but I’ve never (seriously) looked back. Not for everyone but its definitely proven itself as a solid addition to many hunters deer-slaying toolboxes. Seriously - what other saddle product has 46 pages of reviews?! Wow.

    What is your best deer recipe - not fried

    Happy 4th of July!

    Spent the day with my wife, 4kids, and some great inlaws on Lake Jocassee (SC) and just finished our annual firework tradition with some excellent neighborhood fireworks. God Bless America and Happy 4th everyone!

    Exodus broadhead anecdote

    I love my Exodus. Had two pass throughs last year. The first blew through a doe and busted the front leg bone - on the far side - in two. Sure as heck beats my old Slick Tricks and my failed attempts at single bevel Cutthroats.

    Balloons IN the actual bed

    Shot this doe at 15yds last Oct and she ran 75yds. Tracked her down and didn’t even realize the balloon 10ft from where she expired until someone on SH pointed it out. Strategized a bit and ended up taking a nice 13.5pt buck at the same POI a month later. Definitely a nice honey hole for the...

    Looking for Multistep aiders

    Havent tried it yet, but if its good enough for rock climbing, not as cumbersome as a knaider/swaider, and gets me five steps up with each move, its good enough for me.

    How are you climbing with the JX3?

    Previously cheapo sticks (left in tree during season) with an aider but upgrading to WE Stepps. Tried a Knaider/Swaider a couple times (which worked pretty well) but I’d already invested in a 5-step Black Diamond aider. Will bring first Stepp in with me, leave two pre-set Stepps in tree, and...
