    Coyote calls

    That seems to be the most important part of the setup, the down wind side. It is like learning to deer hunt with a bow and turkey hunt with a mouth call all over again. I do enjoy the challenge.

    Coyote calls

    Thank you for the advice. I already have the e-caller so I am going to run with that for now. I've been out for 2 short afternoon sits. No success yet but I am gaining experience in all that is involved in the process. Choosing a setup is more challenging than I thought. Also, I watched a...

    Most disappointing products you bought

    I did reach out to Tethrd and they said that it was close enough to spec that they wouldn't replace it. I think it was bowed about a 1/4 inch across the front of the platform but I can't remember. Another important piece of information is that I bought the platform used but never used. It was...

    Most disappointing products you bought

    I have one of those warped from the factory Predator XLs. Super bummed that it was warped but I have been very happy with it in the tree. It is a little big to find a pack that it fits in.

    Coyote calls

    I've got a a few gift cards for LL Bean and they had two electronic calls. One was in my price range (Primos Dogg Catcher 2) so I had them set it aside and I hope to grab it tomorrow. I do appreciate everyone's advice. I know isn't "easy" to call in coyotes but it isn't easy hunting deer either...

    Coyote calls

    I have wanted to get into coyote hunting in the off season for a few years. Last night I was out burning up cardboard boxes in the fire pit when our dog wandered into the woods. Then I heard a coyote start calling less then 100 yards into the woods. I ran into the house and grabbed a spot light...

    Coyote calls

    I'd call that a success. What you mentioned is exactly why I'm trying to figure out if a decoy would be a smart buy over a nicer call. In theory they'd see the decoy and not me moving my gun to make the shot.

    Coyote calls

    Hello saddle hunters, I'd like to get into coyote hunting. I've got warm clothes, deer rifle, shotgun with turkey choke, and lots of ambition. What I don't have is mouth calls, electronic caller, or decoy. I'd love a nice FoxPro caller with built in decoy but I don't have hundreds to spend on a...

    Saddle Death… Stay safe out there.

    I am a newbie so forgive me if this has already been discussed at length. If someone got stuck and suspended like Dane, how could you use your lineman's rope to stand up and unweight the saddle?

    One sticking small issues...

    That's what I do. I got tired of the madrock clanking and getting stuck on my stick while climbing the aider and stick. The tether only has a carbineer, friction hitch, and tender. Plus the girth hitch stays put easier than the quick link despite the ohm tether locker. I keep my rapell rope in...

    New Saddle Hunters in Maine and New England

    I have three saddles and plan to keep two (one my daughter will use). I have vacillated back and forth on everything from ropes, steps, platforms, friction hitches, aiders, and on and on. Thankfully saddle gear retains its value fairly well so you try stuff and then sell what you don't like...

    New Saddle Hunters in Maine and New England

    I don't know that it would be any help to you but I live in the Midcoast and one stick with a modified Hawk Helium stick, XOP Edge platform, and Cruiser XC saddle. I also have a Tethrd Phantom saddle and Predator XL Platform (currently for sale on CL). If you are in the area I'd be happy to show...
