    Has anybody shot or are currently using an October Mountain recurve? Was checking them out today and they seemed like a well built bow.

    Advice for possible new Traditional hunter

    Ive always wanted to shoot a deer with a long bow or recurve. Call it a Bucket list thing. Ive been watching local auction sites for a bow to purchase. Seem to be going for $30-$100. My question is, what am I looking for, as far as bow quality or how much life is left in the bow. Delamination...

    Bad look for us fellow hunters

    https://www.mlive.com/news/2023/01/michigan-mans-up-tree-stand-sabotage-created-trap-door-hunter-fell-20-feet.html Just ridiculous. He must've plead down to a lower charge, cuz this seems like attempted murder or premeditated anyways. Hope he never gets his license back.

    2lb & 3lb Cloth sausage stuffing bags

    Anyone know of any meat packing places that sell the 2lb & 3lb cloth sausage stuffing bags? I usually get them from Butcher Supply Co. out of Nashville Tenn, but the website is gone and theres no voicemail set up on their phone. And on top of that, having a difficult time finding them on the...

    Stalking cornfields

    Ive never really had good luck stalking a cornfield. Monday I had a good SW wind for a midday stalk. The field was 700yrds by 200+yrds wide, nothing too big and something I could methodically pick my away across. Snow made for easier viewing, but also for some extra crunch. Spotted a button buck...

    Choice of wind

    Would you rather hunt a calm day or a day with some type of breeze? I rarely see deer on calm days so I'd have to roll with wind. What say the saddle hunting community?

    Bad eye, need help.

    I have an issue going on with my shooting eye. Over the last 2 yrs its gone from perfect to crosshairs becoming S curves & hard to see my sight pins or target through my peep site. Id rather use my bow, over cross rifle, but it is becoming a problem. If I put readers on to shoot, I can make the...

    Do Thermo cells spook deer?

    In the favorite un minimalist item thread, I see a lot of fellow saddle peeps giving props to the Thermo cell? I use it during turkey season & used it one time in the fall years ago, hunting out of a pop up tent. I got my thermo cell as a product tester for North American Hunting Club. Again...

    The older i get, the more I sweat. Doesnt matter if its 5 minutes or 40 minutes to the stand Im soaked. Most days im just wearing lightweight shorts and Muck boots & I'll be changing socks n drawers when I get to my stand cuz I want to be warm. Its a pain packing all my garb in my pack, then...

    Money over science?

    Here in Michigans lower peninsula, baiting was banned couple yrs back. Claiming that science shows that communicable diseases (CWD, TB) are transferred by spit through baiting. Not sure what difference is between eating under an apple tree, food plot or crop field. I have no problem with this...
