    ring of steps

    That’s the same decision I am trying to make. Easier on the pocket book, but the squirrel step has been around and I have yet to hear any negatives. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    ring of steps

    Has anyone tried the new Treehopper strap on steps? I want to try to hunt from a ring of steps this next season and I am trying to decide on which steps to purchase. I am leaning toward squirrel steps or the treehopper steps. I know the squirrel steps have high reviews, just curious about the...

    WE Step and a ring of steps

    This is a good idea! I am wanting to try a ROS this summer to see if I like it better than my current setup (WE step with DIY perch). I may continue to use the "perch" and just add a strap and steps to one of my WE steps and dedicate that step as my top step. I will likely get some squirrel...

    Prusik versus Ropeman

    I have not used a ropeman 1. I use prussik knots on my lineman and tether. I used a tender to make them function with one hand. A tender is fairly simple to make. I use a link from a chain and a piece of paracord. There are pics and posts throughout this site that illustrate and explain how...

    Milkweed pods...

    Sorry. To clarify, I was not referring to milkweed as an invasive species. But there are landowners that do not want it. All I meant is I understand the difficulty of fighting plants that, for whatever reason you may not desire. I primarily attempt to control Johnson grass and sericea leslideza...

    Milkweed pods...

    I agree, spreading plants across the landscape is never a good policy. No matter how "beneficial" it may appear. I am collecting on the properties I hunt. I also plan to remove the seed from the "fluff". As a land manager, the biggest headache I face is fighting invasive and non-native plant...

    Game bags

    I hunt whitetails and have always field dressed, dragged the whole carcass out, load it in the truck, finish the rest at home with the deer hanging. I am going to try something different this year and I am looking for some input. I have been searching the web and reading about various...

    Milkweed pods...

    Awesome! I will keep an eye out for color change. And have rubber bands on hand. Several are already popping and throwing seed. Others are still early. I split a few open and they are far from ready. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Milkweed pods...

    To those of you that collect milkweed pods for wind indicators, how do you know when to pick them? I am seeing pods all over the place, some have dried and burst already, others are green and appear to be still developing. What characteristics do you look for to know when to pick them? Thanks...

    Camo cameras

    I haven't used game cameras much but I intend to use a few for pre-season scouting. Anyone have some pics of how they camouflaged their cameras? I will be hanging cameras on public land and don't want to lose them to theft. I already plan to hang them high. Thanks in advance.

    Wind Edge Perch Question

    I have a home made one. I tried it at ground level. You have to really put some torque on the step to keep it solid against the tree while standing on the outside corners. It is possible without camming using the platform, but it took me a few tries on the ground. At height, it may be...

    Muddy pro sticks?

    https://saddlehunter.com/community/index.php?threads/muddy-and-hawk-sticks-may-be-no-more.13808/ This thread might have some answers. I haven't looked at it in a few days, but looks like the company may have changed hands.
