    Best backpacks for saddle hunting?

    I don't understand why you would carry anything in your hands that's not your main weapon. I almost always have at minimum one hand on a weapon and one hand free, at minimum. I prefer my right hand to always be free so that I can reach for my sidearm and/or knife in a split second. Sure you can...

    Falling backwards?

    If you stand on the platform and don't have leg straps or waist strap, the saddle can absolutely slide down your thighs and when you try to sit back down or lean back, you can lose your balance and absolutely fall backwards or to the side or fall off your platform and slam into the tree. I know...

    New to smoking meat

    Pecan and hickory are often interchangeable and many times will be sold in the same bag. Most people can't tell the difference in flavor. The pecan is slightly milder than hickory but if you blind folded some "experts" they won't be able to tell the difference. My favorite all time wood goes to...

    startled by back tension release?

    I shoot straight from the hip and if I disagree on anything I am not shy to voice my opinion. If that comes off as a bit harsh or abrasive then I apologize in advance, but I hope some of these guys have much thicker skin.

    startled by back tension release?

    So are we talking saddle hunting or is this archery talk? Not sure why you're deleting completely valid posts. Playing favorites are we?

    startled by back tension release?

    The back tension releases are a joke in a hunting situation. I could never get off a shot exactly when I wanted to. It's supposed to go off by "surprise". Well when there's a big buck walking along and I can't stop him, I need to be able to take a shot in my shooting lane and be able to time...

    Amsteel tether

    There's no use trying to convince the geniuses on here. This thread should've been locked early due to so much misinformation. Someone lurking in here might actually think it's a good idea to try an amsteel tether because some geniuses on here think full burying it makes it ok to do so. Just...

    Which rope for wet freezing conditions? Tether, linemens, etc

    Yea that's what I was worried about too is the hitch slipping. Guess I'll just have to do my own testing at ground level with a wet rope and a half frozen one to see how the hitches hold up. Should be interesting.

    Which rope for wet freezing conditions? Tether, linemens, etc

    Yes my thoughts exactly that's why it's a major concern for me. I hunt in any weather and the best hunts have always been around a cold front and nasty weather. Shot my biggest buck to date right before a cold front moved through. Weather was miserable, drizzly, freezing, foggy and the big boys...

    Thanks for the recommendations.

    Which rope for wet freezing conditions? Tether, linemens, etc

    Not an ice storm. But have you ever hunted in a drizzle and later on it turned into freezing rain or the temps dropped and everything started freezing towards evening? Those are the conditions we gotta prepare for. It'll catch you by surprise sometimes. So I'm preparing for anything.

    Amsteel tether

    Please do NOT use any hollow type rope for a tether. It's not the amsteel that will fail, it's the friction hitch that will. Same with mechanical hitches. They are not built to be used on hollow rope such as amsteel. It's simple physics. Use a good quality climbing rope and live another day.

    Which rope for wet freezing conditions? Tether, linemens, etc

    Hi guys, long time lurker, but just signed up. I just ordered an H2 saddle and looking to do all my ropes. I want to get ropes that will work under any weather condition, particularly wet freezing conditions. Anyone have any recommendations on a rope that's made particularly for wet conditions...

    Sweet platform. Where did you buy your material to make it? Do you have a link? How did you cut it?
