    DIY Shoot Rail

    I’ve had a passion for archery for as long as I can remember, but shot my first deer with a borrowed muzzleloader last year and had a lot of fun. That being said, all of the stands on our property are hang-ons with no shooting rail. I’d like to have something that I could preset and be able to...

    Bino / Rangefinder managment

    Following this one. Got a marsupial bino harness last year. Really like it but it does get in the way. Was wearing it opening day this year, drew back on a doe, but didn’t realize the string was pressed up against it. When I release the shot the bow jumped and shot over her back. I have vowed to...

    HYS Strap gear attachment

    Hey Guys, maybe I'm overthinking this, but I am tired of moving hooks and what not on the HYS strap after its set in the tree. Every time you climb a different tree you have to adjust this or that. I'm thinking of taking some kydex that I have laying around and bending it similar to a 3D...

    Thanks guys. I have a single aider on the bottom stick now and a mobile aider for use when I need it on the other sticks. After hearing all of the positives, I think I’ll stick to what I got currently. Appreciate the feed back lol! My mom always told me good things come in small packages

    3 step aider pluses and minuses

    Talk to me about 3 step aiders. Pluses and minuses? I’m thinking about getting two in Amsteel for my Hawke minis for the upcoming season, but was waiting to see if there is a Memorial Day sale. If my math is correct I should be able to get close to 16’ +/- with two sticks and two three step...

    Switching from Scentlok to Sitka

    As other have said I find the quality, fit and durability of Sitka to be unmatched. I have the mountain pant, jet stream jacket in subalpine for mid to late October thru about now. I also wear it for spring gobbler. If it get chilly I add the heavy weight hoodie (best piece of gear I’ve ever...

    K.I.S.S for the mobile hunter

    Got a tethrd sys strap and started using a hero clip as a bow holder. So much easier, smaller, and lighter than a screw in hook

    Retracting Gear Hoist

    I saw that as well. Where did you get the dump pouch from? I also thought I saw somewhere someone was selling a “custom” made one on here with a grommet for the cord to slide through, but I could be wrong. Found it- https://doublesteps.com/product/mini-fleece-pouch-huntin-hoist/

    Retracting Gear Hoist

    Has anyone used this? Trying to give the wife ideas for Christmas. I want the Doyles hoist but this is half the price and seems to work that same. https://www.amazon.com/Boomerang-Retractable-Retraction-Polycarbonate-Attachment/dp/B0088MQAS8?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1

    When do you draw to aim?

    I agree you just know when you know.

    When do you draw to aim?

    That’s my feeling exactly. Dad always said take the first shot available and don’t wait. I never have.

    When do you draw to aim?

    Gave this some thought last night when I couldn’t sleep. Shot a buck a couple years ago that was walking down a trail in some thick stuff. I looked ahead and saw an opening where I knew he would walk. I drew and held in that opening until he “walked in to my pin” and shot him. Shot a doe last...

    Delaware public land trail camera ban

    I do t really have a problem with it. I’ve been putting boots to the ground since I was a kid. I hope it keeps the masses out of the woods but I don’t think anyone is going to abide by the rules

    Delaware public land trail camera ban

    This started last year when they made you have to register your cameras on public. Guess they were surveying the number of cameras to see how many people they were going to puss off. And I guess I won’t have to worry about my cameras getting stolen or messed with when people think I’ve found...

    Deer drag

    Where do the pins go on the cart? I have the same hawk cart got it “used/ returned” on Amazon for like $90 but it didn’t have any pins. Drug two buck out with it last year and any weight on the front end and the cart would fold up. I ended up drilling holes through the handle and frame and...

    Newbie to food plotting

    I don’t think the deer density is super high. I’ve been running trail cam on minerals since May and got to know the local heard pretty well. I’d say there about 4 doe 6 fawns and 4 small buck right now. There’s a lot of browse and low PH loving blue berries are everywhere. I am definitely going...

    Newbie to food plotting

    I used the greencover fall release blend. Same one Dr Grant Woods from Growing Deer TV you tube channel uses. It has several different types of clover, peas, oats, lentils, winter wheat, cereal rye, collards, turnips, radish and buckwheat. The sedge was so thick and tall I sprayed it, brush...
