    When do you draw your bow on a deer?

    I just do it when it feels right. I can't recall getting busted drawing, however I can recall holding a bow forever that lead to muscle failure many times. I think the speed of the animal, cover, and obstruction has a lot to do with when I do it. With that said I feel like I'm relatively...

    Forgiveness question

    If he's not in there much and won't be back until Nov then you're good to go. There's a chance the "Big One" leaves the property or a new "big one" arrives during the shift. Honestly, I'd get that guys number and feel him out to see how he hunts, where he hunts, how he access, and what the...

    First Bow Advice

    If I had shoulder issues I'd go with a lower poundage bow. Modern compounds are very quick compared to 10-15 years ago. Depends on your draw length and such I'd think you could get a killer setup. I'm a 31'' draw and shoot a 30.5 arrow if I had should issues I'd go to this setup... Elite...

    Sharpening broadheads

    I've used course, medium, fine, and ultra fine stones to get a nice cutting head. I was worried about heads not spinning near as good, however they seem to be doing fine. I'm looking to add a leather strop to the mix and maybe some diamond stones. Its definitely nice to know you've saved at...

    Ohio public land

    It really depends on your goals. If your looking for 140'' deer, 120'' deer, a lot of deer, or old deer. Ohio has some pockets that hold A LOT of deer and some other places that get the piss pounded out of it. There's the places that commonly come up in searches and others that rarely come...

    Too Popular?

    The saddle hunting grind is hard work. Most people can’t hack it. I think the converts will be the newly introduced hunters looking at saddles vs climbers. New hunters are more safety conscious, and will weigh a harness vs a saddle. Gun hunters will pick climbers for the rest, bow hunters will...

    Fixed Blade Broadhead

    Born and Raised Outdoors on YouTube did some broadhead reviews. It changed my opinions on a couple of those heads. I have a nice broadhead collection as it stands of 100 grain heads and a couple 125s.... Muzzy 3 blades x3 (spin okay, group okay, kill deer okay, hissing sound, cheap okay...

    TruBall Max Pro 4

    I always had a concern with it coming unclipped while i was pulling up the bow. It was more of testing its limits to see if it would work. I would not recommend it. I always have a release in my pack. I didn't leave mine in the truck this year, however I've done it enough in the past. I'll...

    TruBall Max Pro 4

    I’ve been wanting to switch from a wrist strap index finger release to a thumb release for a while. When Mr. Big comes strolling by I didn’t want to be fumbling with hooking into the d-loop. I wanted to simplify the process and make it grab and go. I wanted something that I could leave...

    Mountain hunters

    Quartering is a must if the drag is over a 1/2 mile downhill. Saddles are perfect for mountain hunting (light weight). Dan Infalt's Hill Country tactics work very well. I'm a topo map nerd and love the adventure of finding unique terrain. I'd highly suggest understand topo maps and finding...

    Looking at Ohio

    I went to SE Ohio during gun season this year for 4 days. I hunted there in from 1990-2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, mostly family farm, private land anyone could get permission to hunt, and public. The pressure has increased greatly over the last 10 years. The private land anyone could hunt is...

    Mantis Tips

    Thanks for your input. I have messed with the tether height. I started at forehead height and now its about chin height. My next sit I'll start a mid chest. I adjust the tether length quite a bit, but without a systematic approach. I do both lean and sit, so I adjust the tether lenth to...

    Mantis Tips

    I'm glad I'm not the only one with issues of hip pinch and the saddle riding up. I feel like most of my sits are fighting the saddle to find a tolerable comfort level. I just got my micro adjuster in the mail and I'll try to linesman belt as a bridge. The amsteel bridge is something I really...
