    Deer and water

    How important is a water source for your hunting set up? I hunt big woods and when we have a wet November their is water in every dry creek. But go for a week or two with no rain and ponds seem to be a deer magnet. Question?? How much water does a deer need every day? I know it depends on how...

    What a Bunch of Machines

    Tree Stand Harness

    Going to a .75, used either as a saddle platform or as a conventional tree stand. This has me questioning what type of harness to use in conventional mode. Some guys are using their saddle, a rock-climbing harness or Dryad harness in a tree stand. These will give you a front connection point...

    Saddle Hunter or Mobile Hunter

    I guess I am neither. Maybe I am a roaming hunter since the phrase Saddle Hunter and Mobile hunter are Trade Marks!

    Austrialpin belt buckles

    I have this setup on my Dryad hammock. I am also seeing this used on saddle leg straps. On the Austrialpin web site they call these belt buckles and do not list a Kn rating. Are these OK to use in this application?

    What did you learn this hunting season?

    Every year I find myself learning something new or relearning something I forgot. Post what you got! For me my .75 is too small for me in conventional treestand mode. Time to grab the saddle.

    Buckless Stick Attachment

    I picked up some 3/4" straps from LWCG. I will be using them on the LWCG single step sticks. I see 2 different vids on the tube on how to do the wrap. They are a little different. Anyone know if one is better then the other? I think the first one from Whitetail Experience may be better.

    What is killing the pine trees

    Out in western KY at LBL deer scouting some public. Hunted here last year and the trees looked OK. This year I have seen over 50 dead pine trees. Mostly the smaller ones but a few medium and big ones. They are black at the bottom like they were burned. I asked the people at the welcome station...

    Working on Revising my Climbing System

    Two years ago I used the double versa aider climbing system with 3 mini sticks. This put me in a position of having to have a TP tree. I want to hunt deer, not trees. Also as I get a little older I find I need to make some changes. I realized that if I have a situation while climbing a aider...
