    Ring of Steps……. Preferred step?

    I am using the tree hopper steps and like them a lot. They slot inside each other nicely for the walk in, and don't move once on the tree. I am running 5 but may pick up a couple more this season. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

    How do you get your deer out. What kind of terrain?

    Had to improvise last year. With snow on the ground I found an old plactic kiddo sled and drilled a few holes in the sides. I threaded rope through the holes to wrap up my deer. I was the only one from camp to take one that weekend, so no one laughed at the pink color of the sled... Sent from...

    Lets talk about sweat

    Thank you John, you are a huge influence on us Michigan bowhunters. Swapping out wet for dry is such a great feeling too. Once I started packing in dry layers it was a game changer. That is kinda why I started this thread to see how common it was and if there are any tricks. Last year I...

    Cold weather clothing while hunting from a saddle

    This! Hunting through November in Michigan gets chilly enough, when frozen sweat is part of the equation, it is unbearable. I love the feeling of putting on new socks on stand so much that I started playing with different ways to wear a baselayer that I could remove while up a tree. By laying a...

    Lets talk about sweat

    Not that I truly believe this is getting any traffic because of the topic any longer... BUT. For those who do change on stand, what do you generally do with the sweaty ones? I started packing in a freezer bag, but i know guys who just stuff it down tot he bottom of their pack. Thoughts?

    I like it! But...this would be a bit TOO minimalist on Nov 1 in Michigan... :) Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    Lets talk about sweat

    I haven't tried merino wool consistently, but will be giving that a go this season. The poly bases I have tried, even the ones coming out of the washer really dry, seem to to do a fine job until I twist, or push up against a tree etc. A thought occurred to me when checking out the Fishnet...

    Lets talk about sweat

    What do you all do to keep chilled sweat from cutting short your all day sits? Even packing in my outer layers and wearing top quality baselayer, Michigan has a way of freezing the small amount of sweat in my layers and chilling me to the bone. Who changes their baselayer? How about electric...

    Practice routine

    I run a league that combines known and unknown distances on 2d and 3d animals. It is fun but only shot 1 time per month and averages around 30 yards. So weekly I shoot a sequence from 70 down to 20. Doing it that way makes every shot a focused shot. The long ones I am focusing on form, the...

    2020-21 Goals

    Man, I really like this one. The art-form of of a good story-from-the-woods makes you feel as if you were there too. Even a bad day hunting can have a good story to share at camp. great idea. /Stags

    Help building layered hunting setup

    Thanks! Sounds like I can give Merino wool a try, but I don't think I am going to get away from swapping or removing layers in the field. I actually started wearing an extra layer specifically to take off once I am at the tree. When it is really cold (15-30) no amount of wicking can beat...

    Help building layered hunting setup

    Thanks @Jtaylor . Mind sharing what base layer you use? I have tried a bunch of different poly and poly-blends and still have the same issue. The moment I remove the layer, I get immediate satisfaction, and a much longer day of hunting. Hopefully the answer here isn't I am way out-of-shape.. ;)...
