    Another reason to carry your setup in and out each time.

    That POS in the story is lucky the other hunter wasn’t killed in that fall from the stand or he’d be looking at manslaughter/murder Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Update on my wellness Mentally and Physically

    Hey Rob - first off, I’ll pray for you to overcome this difficult situation. Keep your head up, take it one day at a time and things will get better. As for getting in shape I believe diet is going to be more important than the exercise. If you’re already on your feet most of the day, starting...

    Pull-up lines -tip

    I’ve been using 7/64 amsteel with an eye spliced on each end. It does not tangle on me I think because it’s a smoother rope Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Acorn off yr?

    Little to none where I hunt in mid Michigan and further north we’ve recently had issues with gypsum moths in the spring so acorns have been dry for 3 seasons now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wild edge stepp lovers

    I’m a fan of both the knaider and swaider. The bag on the other hand… I’ve got a 10 step bag and sometimes getting my 5 stepps in there with the ropes is a PITA. Wish there was a way to permanently stretch it out because sometimes I think I’m going to bust the zipper Sent from my iPhone using...

    Most comfortable saddle for leaners

    Another vote for Jamie’s saddle (Overwatch Outdoors). Picked it up last year and it’s a great two panel saddle for sitting or leaning! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Advice on leaving deer overnight (low 49) before processing please

    Totally fine. I’ve left em in warmer temps than that but will typically hang them up overnight. Use ice and get on it first thing in the morning Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2022 Turkey Hunting Thread

    I know nothing about turkey hunting but went out for the Michigan opener on Saturday and bagged a Tom just after sunrise. Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good I guess! Not gonna lie, I found it just as exhilarating, if not more, than arrowing a deer. Perhaps this is the start of my new...

    The Official Mil surplus Thread

    German army mitts. They’re very warm and I use them for shoveling snow. Think I got these for $10, made in the 80’s with no signs of wear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I CAN’T KEEP MY FEET WARM

    I prefer rubber boots to avoid leaving a scent trail around my tree. 1000g rubber or Mickey Mouse boots when it gets really cold. Yes my feet get sweaty walking in, so I wear hiking socks then change to heavy wool socks be maybe add a toe warmer once at the tree. Unwrap the toe warmer 20 minutes...

    Neck Meat - What do you do with it?

    I always just grind it up but thinking I might try deboning it while this year. How long are y’all cooking it in the Instant Pot to get it done? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ros issues

    My squirrel steps get pretty tight on an OCB. There’s a little wiggle to them but not enough to be a concern. The nice thing about them is with a slim profile, if you’re on a rough bark tree like an oak you just arrange the steps so they’re in the bark’s crevices and they sit way tighter to the...

    Carrying handgun while in saddle

    Pocket carry in a cargo pocket of my pants, making sure the leg straps aren’t in the way. There are no dangerous animals where I hunt so I don’t feel the need to pack a big gun Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pumpkins

    I don’t know if they’re a deer’s favorite but usually throw them out after Halloween and they will get eaten quick. You gotta break them apart first before they freeze up so the deer can get at the insides Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Adding SRT to my “kit”, need some advice

    That’s exactly what I’m doing this year, as those are my two climbing methods. I don’t SRT if I’m hunting a new spot on public but will bring my rope and ascender so I can rappel down after the hunt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
