    Thanking land owners

    I always offer meat, but most people that give me permission do not care for venison. Christmas card of my family with a note on how much I appreciate them letting me hunt their property always goes good. Only because my 2 daughters are so damn cute. I have 2 owners that get a $100 gas card...

    Have you sat in a Phantom? Kestrel Flex vs Phantom

    Not sure used saddles will lose to much of the original value though. A lot of demand out there.

    They said they are preparing to fill the first 1,000 orders. $250 for just the saddle.

    Have you sat in a Phantom? Kestrel Flex vs Phantom

    I am in the same boat as you. My first year saddle hunting was this last season. Hunted out of my flex the entire time. Loved it but thought it was a little too much bulk than I was looking for. I am going to buy a phantom as soon as they come out, play with it all summer and determine which...

    Post season shenanigans/post season blues

    Yeah they are stupid expensive. Thats why Im sure glad HE bought one. We cannot use any artificial light or anything that projects light. Which makes no sense. But thermals are good too go.

    Hanging Deer

    I hung my buck in a cooler @ 34 degrees for 12 days with the hide on this year ( head down). The longest by far. Usually I would only hang them for a few days. I was hoping to notice a difference in my steaks tenderness but I could not.

    Post season shenanigans/post season blues

    I will be doing a lot of scouting for the next month. After that all my spare time will be making deposits back in the brownie point jar with the wife and kids! That thing gets pretty low at the end of the season. The main lesson I learned this year was quality sits over quantity. I love...

    New guy from Anderson SC

    Welcome from IA. I am extremely green with the saddle. Bought a Flex and hunted out of it all season last year. After 2 sits I sold my Lone Wolf mobile setup. Only advice I can give is spend a bunch of time in the backyard setting up and taking down. I did not do that. Made for a few...

    2 or more deer in a year?

    In Iowa I can only shoot 2. One with bow then I go late muzzy.

    For those that have a AH Kestrel Flex on order . . . . .

    I chose the rope- first saddle. Been using a lineman’s belt forever so it’s just for the familiar feeling.
