    Black Gold Sights

    I have two black gold sights, one on my main bow and one on my backup bow. My main bow has a black gold revenge fixed pin. This one was pricey but a has more bells and whistles like micro adjust pins. You can really fine tune your sights. Those pins stay bright past legal shooting light and I’ve...

    Hunting Trip Recap: Pa Big Woods

    Thank you for the kind words but I think a lot of luck was at play for me. I definitely learned a lot, and have plenty more to learn. I will be making some more trips up there for sure.

    Hunting Trip Recap: Pa Big Woods

    I went on a 3 day camping and hunting trip in the big woods of northern PA 11/1-11/4 and wanted to share a great hunt and a tough lesson I learned. It’s beautiful country with endless areas to park and mountains to hike. I’ve Turkey hunted it a little bit but did not scout for deer other then...

    2 panel suggestions

    I had the same problem with the ESS and never wore it in. It was a pain because it took up space in the pack and I would always get it tangled trying to put it on in the dark. It’s a comfortable saddle but definitely a lot of fiddle factor. Two things can fix the problem: If you use a simple...

    ESS Saddle Question

    I use an orange nite ize to tie the panels together when walking. When I start climbing and need to separate the panels I just pull it off and stuff it in a pocket or throw it on the ground. The other thing that massively helped walking with it was a tip someone posted on here. If you tie two...

    2023 Trail camera thread

    New piece of public that is tough to access.I didn’t have much on my cards and thought I wouldn’t bother hunting it but this guy was one of the last photos. The 2.5 miles and creek crossing doesn’t sound so bad now.

    I haven’t had any huge bucks on camera but I did have this bear walk by. All bears look big to me but this guy looks like a tank.

    Scentlok or Sitka or First Lite?

    I purchased some Sitka items this year at a steep discount. The Sitka pieces are definitely well thought out with the bow hunter in mind. Super high quality, great warmth to weight ratio and everything is silent and laid out really nicely. Even the snap buttons are silent. The camo pattern is...

    Small folding saws

    After needing to trim a few small branches this year while in the stand I decided I need some type of saw for next season. I have a silky saw for camping but I don’t want to carry that, I have enough stuff in my pack. Is there a small option such as a folding knife or multi tool with a small saw...

    Mystery Ranch 2 Day Assault: almost perfect for my needs, but need DIY help with waist band

    The kind I have is called Zip Tech, it came with some waders I bought. To be honest bow string wax would probably work fine too.

    Mystery Ranch 2 Day Assault: almost perfect for my needs, but need DIY help with waist band

    I think it’s on par with other cordura bags, it’s not whisper quiet but in my opinion it’s not an issue for me. Believe it or not it does break in a little with use. I set my bag in the tree and after getting set up I only reach in it once or twice. I also put some zipper wax on the zippers...

    Mystery Ranch 2 Day Assault: almost perfect for my needs, but need DIY help with waist band

    I have this pack and really like it. I agree though the waist belt is lacking compared to other MR packs and I was afraid it wouldn’t be comfortable. My pack weighs 25 lbs fully loaded and I don’t notice the belt at all. It carries well in that range. I think you could comfortably get away with...

    Gear you liked/disliked 2022

    Like Mystery Ranch 2 Day Assault pack. Plenty big to stuff some clothes in it and it has plenty of organization. I strap my platform to the back and two sticks on each side. Big fan of everything mystery ranch. Cheap bino chest straps. I tried the harness styles, but if you want to add or...

    Opening Day Gun in PA

    I went out for my yearly PA rifle hunt in NE PA game lands. That’s the last time I hunt a Friday during rifle. The morning wasn’t too bad. I hunted a thick bedding area 3/4 of a mile in where I always see deer. Once it got light I realized I was 50 yards from a new ladder stand that someone put...
