    Bow Presses

    I have been very happy with my LCA pack and go I got from podium archery. JJ is so great to deal with. I am no pro but I love being able to put a twist in the string if needed. I like the pack and go because I take it to my hunting camp to help out others. I also like buying from LCA because he...

    using sticks to go up, platform to hunt, but rappel down

    I am guilty of repelling no matter what now. I hunt private land and have several sets that are always in the same spot. I just find it faster and fun. I can get my rope pulled down pretty fast and be gone. Our club uses lock on stands over feeders and I can’t stand sitting anymore. So I have...

    Questions for one stickers

    I use mine for tether and rappel. I also use it for hunting as well. No back up. Make your own decisions on what you feel comfortable with. Careful about using back ups. You want to make sure there is no way it can contact the madrock. I also started using mine even when I don’t one stick. I...

    Tethrd Skeletor Sticks

    I ordered a set today. I hunt private land 100% on 5600 acres with a group of hunters that we lease together. I am the only saddle hunter (right now). I have several sets of hawk full size heliums and an EWO one stick. I plan on using these for hunting new spots when not one sticking. I use my...

    Anyone actual job or public appearance completely surprised others that your passion is hunting?

    I work for Starbucks. Yeah, people are shocked but I have converted so many to loving venison lol. I am also in the Florida panhandle though so there are lots of hunters In the area. I am a veteran and a hunter that works at Starbucks. So I don’t fit the stereotype that people contribute to that.

    Cell cameras

    I only run 1 cell cam and I highly recommend it. I run a RidgeTec. I dont have any contracts and I can change my plan month to month. I can run Verizon or AT&T sim cards. I have it in a steel case and locked to a tree. However, I am on private land and probably not needed. The customer service...

    Looking to link up for a CO OTC archery elk hunt

    I didn’t draw for Idaho this year. I told myself if I didn’t draw I would skip this year but there are only so many elk seasons lol. My wife even asked if I was able to go somewhere else. I am in Florida so obviously I am not against traveling to hunt. I was just familiar with Idaho since I was...

    Bow case for flying

    I have the SKB and had a Mathews helium in it. It flew great and let’s me safely store arrows in it as well. However, I switched to a spot hog fast Eddie with the hard mount and now my bow doesn’t quite fit. I know I could just take it off and remount it but I want to avoid that. I am picking up...

    Best of the "entry level" sticks?

    That was me last year. I went with the hawks and had 2 sets. This year I am one sticking. I also used the hawks for some other setups where I have some lock ons. However, I hunt in a club on private land. So the money wasn’t wasted because I will still use them on my semi permanent set ups as...

    Upgrading Bow Stabilizer

    I switch between two stabilizers. For whitetail hunting I run a short cheapo that is really just there for dampening but I doubt it does anything. My shots are always within 30 yards. For elk I switch over to a 10 inch bee stinger. It really helps steady the pins.

    How many people actually use a bino chest rig?

    I always bring my binos in a chest rig no matter what stand or weapon type. Whitetail or elk doesn’t matter. I know sometimes I could probably save some weight but I’ve never been bothered by them. I shoot a lot of does every year and it puts me at ease to make sure before I put one down by...

    V3 Outlaw sling pack

    Thanks for the heads up on this. This is exactly what I was looking for! I hunt private property on a lease. So most of my walk ins are shortish. I bring deer out whole, so no need to be able to pack heavy. I just drag it to the closest passable opening and drive my Tacoma hunting rig right up...

    Best Cell Camera

    I do not have experience with anything but my RidgeTec. However, I love it! What sold me is the customer service and the ability to change my data plan every month based on what I want at the time. I run video during the season but right now I just want low quality stills. Antlers just...

    Saddle for lower back pain (sciatica)

    I also have back issues, 2 bulging, 2 herniated and causes nerve pain. I have a cruzer XC and I enjoy it. The saddle is very comfortable and I prefer to lean in it. My back only bothers me if I try and place my sticks too far apart. Other than that it’s my go to now. A traditional lock on has...

    Considering saddle hunting (North West Florida)

    I've already purchased some hawk helium steps. I snagged them for 99 bucks. Now I am just waiting on my saddle. I am torn between tethrd or kestrel. Either way I am waiting for the new tethrd to be released before I decide. I am still undecided on my platform as well. I am stuck between the...

    Considering saddle hunting (North West Florida)

    Thanks! I have some friends that hunt some public near me. There is a group leasing some timber land behind my house. I hope to get in with them so I can literally walk out my back door.

    Considering saddle hunting (North West Florida)

    Good morning saddle hunters, I have been obsessed with consuming as much information as possible on saddle hunting lately. I am definitely going to give it a try in the 2020 season. Here is a little about me. I just retired from the Air Force after 23 years. I just settled into my forever home...
