    Kifaru “Saddle Pouch”

    Would be an expensive “saddle pouch” but looks like the Kifaru Gen 2 water bottle pouch could be used to haul ropes. Not sure how loud it would be being cordura though. https://kifaru.net/store/accessories/pockets/water-bottle-pocket-gen-2/

    Potential Black Bear Sign

    Found two different unusual piles of scat while bow hunting an area of public for whitetail. A quick google search shows that it could potential be a black bear. Should I completely abandoned this area or will deer still move through there? If the wind is blowing from the west, there is a nice...

    Bad Luck or Lousy Hunter?

    Two buck encounters on the same piece of public and screwed up both of them. 1st encounter was a 4 point on Sunday afternoon/evening. Found a tree that looked to be pretty decent but after getting to height and setup, it had a slight lean and was trying to pull me to one side. Tried to tough it...

    One Stick Repelling Device

    I have decided that I’m going to give “one sticking” a try next season. I’ve scoured the forums and topics on what I’ll need supply wise but I was wondering what a safe alternative to use is instead of a mad rock safeguard? Trying to keep a slim budget at first to try out the climbing method...

    Wild Mushroom Identification

    Are any of you wild mushroom connoisseurs able to identify this? Sorry for the rotated picture. This was in WV. Thought about taking home but decided not to since I was not confident in identifying it based off an internet search. Thought “chicken of the woods” initially.

    Cold Weather Saddle Hunting

    I understand this topic has probably been discussed in length before but I was wondering about saddle hunting in cold weather, mid November when their could be snow on the ground and temps freezing or below.

    E-Scouted Location Input

    Wanted to get input on a section of public I was e-scouting on my lunch break today. See screenshot below. I’m thinking the slim wooded sections to the North and South of the middle field (cross hair location) could be good to set up on for an evening hunt after work one day, due to...

    Rookie Mistakes?

    Typing from the tree. Looking for feedback and suggestions on my morning hunt so far. Blew a group of deer out of the field I wanted to hunt this morning on public land. Decided to sit up on the field anyway. Have the wind to my back and three trails to my strong side (right handed shooter)...

    Sell me on an alternative climbing stick to my 30” Hawk Heliums

    I’m currently using a set of 30” hawk helium sticks. While they get the job done, they are somewhat of a pain to carry around (carrying by hand, so I probably should invest in a better pack sooner than later). However, I’d like to get some suggestions on a better climbing stick, that doesn’t...
