    Didn’t have any opportunity to hunt in late December. Made it out Jan 2nd, didn’t see anything. With finally getting snow I walked 3 miles Saturday in one spot, no tracks except rabbit and coyote. Moved several miles away to another stretch that that had been logged earlier in the winter, put...

    Personal Carry Solutions

    Kenai Chest Holster carries a S&W 10mm with red dot on TLR7a, works great this year. I used one for a Hi Power last couple years. A UM92 flap holster works well for a backpack waist band, with multiple (including Molle) attachments. But I hunt in mud and snow and don’t want to drop a gun into...

    I always wonder what’s going on when I hear an absolute firefight break out in the distance during rifle season. This kind of explains it.

    Got out Friday morning before the Orange Army invaded the Wisconsin woods. About 8am a 20+ flock of turkeys massed to my NW and spent the next few hours messing around in the area. They covered for the doe that make in to NE with a 6 point right behind it. I thought they were going to move to...

    Missed opening day of rifle season because of a funeral. Drove back to the middle of Minnesota to hunt the family land and got out the evening of the second day didn’t see anything. Shot a fork at 830 the second day. No points for the saddle contest since my family rifle hunts off tripods...

    Official admit you fell of your stick thread

    A few weeks ago I stepped in the middle rung of the 3 step Hangfree amsteel aider and my boot slipped on the small wet tree I was climbing. Boot went to the side, I went backwards caught by lineman’s, and I took a long step to the ground and reset. I could have been in trouble if I’d been...

    What size gear ties work best for fastening sticks to molle row on saddle? 6in, 12in, 18in etc? Should i consider other sizes for additoal uses?

    Loops of paracord on the stick and clip on the saddle works fine for me. https://hangfree.co/products/quick-molle-webbing-clips

    How are you carrying your repel rope?

    This year I’ve been using the lid on my Exo K3 to hold my rappel rope and second lineman’s belt (if I’m climbing a tree with a bunch of limbs, if it’s only a couple I just tie in with the rappel rope). I attach the triangle quick link to a stealth stripped extra carabiner on my right side and...

    Simple solution to keep feathers dry

    Was out in the rain and wet brush for hours yesterday with arrows in my bow quiver. The water poof liquid seems to work just fine.

    Worked until 2am so was a little late getting up today. Was supposed to be wet and cruddy so I went and wandered a new area I’d never hunted before. Walked about 6 miles per my phone, sat along a trail for a while, climbed a tree later on a bedding area I found, and put up a camera. Didn’t see...

    Simple solution to keep feathers dry

    Nice, if used fletching covers and am not a fan. I’ve used the Bohning powder with some success but I assume that stuff isn’t good to breathe in and I see some powder come off when shooting. I’ve been using the Ozark Water Poof liquid this year and have been very happy with it.

    Thanks, my goal is a deer on public land with a trad bow, definitely trying to do it the hard way. My struggle has being getting into deer. My wife misses me many nights/weekends/holidays already with work so I don’t hunt evenings. My goal is to hike into places I’ve seen sign or deer early...

    Best Place to buy .308 or 7.62x51 ammo

    For costumer service I always recommend SGammo. Their inventory is accurate, they ship quickly, free shipping over $200. Not always the cheapest, for that compare to something like Ammoseek.

    So my 3rd year bowhunting, today was the first time I’ve got to draw on an animal. I found a spot, small oaks with a 120-ish acre clear cut in the center, I have people on the trail cam I put up a week before season but still does cruising through so thought worth a Monday hunt. This was my...
