    Speed scouting vs scouting thoroughly on new pieces? How to be more efficient?

    This is a two part question of asking how to be more efficient while post season scouting as well as whether you prefer to speed scout vs scout more thoroughly? I’m still trying to hone in on my methods so just looking for different opinions. For me it depends on where the sign is located and...

    Has anyone tried the beast stick platforms?

    I’m trying to decide if I wanna shell out $400 on an EWO stick. After buying a new saddle, bow strings, sight and arrows (and vacation this summer) I’m probably not gonna splurge on that right now. I’m running beast sticks currently and would like to adjust what I already have. Ideally I’d like...

    Licking branch tree fell over

    Last month I found some nice scrapes and rut sign in an area and marked it on onx. I went back in yesterday and a storm must have blown the tree over so the biggest scrape there doesn’t really have a licking branch. I opened the scrape up more with my boot to extend it a little near another...

    Ascending options for one sticking?

    I’m looking into changing it up and moving on from the madrock next year and curious what my options are for ascending. I know a lot of this has already been discussed in different threads the problem is I don’t always understand the terms people are using as someone with no rock climbing...

    Cruzr XC vs Buzzard roost?

    I’ve narrowed my next saddle down to these two (although I’m also curious on feedback from timber ninja people). If anyone has experience with the two I’d appreciate the input.

    Understanding wind and thermals in the mountains

    I recently moved to a more hilly/mountainous part of PA and I’d like to learn more about how wind and thermals behave in areas with more terrain and elevation changes. The area I’m originally from is flatter with slight elevation changes and has more subtle terrain & vegetation edges so wind and...

    Beast stick mods. Anyone?

    I have a couple beast sticks but I want to turn one into a dedicated one stick. I was thinking of picking up the 12” raptor platform attachment and replace the top step with this to pair with my ROS but I would need to change the button on it to something more one stick friendly. Has anyone put...

    Wait until snow melts to post season scout?

    I’m itching to get out and scout new pieces but most of the snow is half melted in my state. Just curious what people’s experience is with timing for post season scouting. I would hate to commit to a drive out to a new piece and not be able to see the sign under the snow.

    Great American Outdoors Show - Harrisburg, Pa

    Just curious if anyone’s gonna be there and what vendors you’ll be checking out. I want to see Asio, tethrd and cruzr but I’m not sure if they’ll be there certain days or the whole duration of the show.

    Need help modifying my setup

    I’m trying to reduce the amount of rope and tangles I need to manage in my setup. I love mobile hunting but the endless options and time/money investing in different things that end up not being for me can make it feel like a grind. It may also be partly due to the fact that it’s late season and...

    Pouch for ROS?

    Just curious how people transport their ROS into the woods and onto a tree? I’m sold on ROS after buying 3 treehopper steps to add to my platform. Probably going to ditch the platform all together and pick up a few more steps. I like the idea of having a pouch for them with a strap that I can...

    Curious about snow movement

    I’m currently doe hunting right now. There’s a herd bedding in a small timber patch about 70 yards from a food source on a farm I recently got access to hunt. They were coming out to feed just before sunset but I think other hunting pressure spooked them as they’re now nocturnal. Does anyone...

    I think I’m done rappelling - Rant/Question

    I got into one sticking last year and really enjoyed it for a brief time. I realized I don’t personally like the amount of movement so I kept my rappel setup and went back to 4 sticks and rappelled down since that was the biggest perk to me. I also didn’t love the amount of ropes I had to manage...

    Question on switching to ring of steps

    I started out with a platform and switched to a platform plus 3 steps this year. I’m really considering just running a ring of steps for now on. The only thing is I’m used to stepping onto my platform from my top stick since it’s a bigger surface and sturdy. With a ring of steps I’m a little...

    Newb to hunting ag fields

    I just got permission to hunt an 80 acre private farm in Pennsylvania. All I’ve ever hunted has been public land wood lots and big woods so I’m used to food and bedding being everywhere. The lot has two bigger fields and two smaller fields separated by a couple strips of mixed timber about 50...

    Struggling with treehopper ocb strap

    I got a couple steps and the ocb strap from tree hopper. Steps look awesome and mark seems like an awesome guy. I just can’t figure out this strap. If anyone has one and can explain how to cam or tighten this to the tree that would be awesome. I think I have the strap threaded correctly but I...

    What food to focus on right now?

    I hunt smaller wood lots on Pennsylvania public and recently some more mountainous areas. I tagged out for the year but I still have some doe tags I’d like to try to fill and wanted to key in on some food sources for evening sits. There’s some acorns still but they seem to be scattered and...

    Rope retrieval/bow tow suggestions?

    I use a 35’ length of paracord with s biners on each end that I use as a dual function bow tow/rope retrieval. When I drop my bow down on one end I attach the other onto my tether stopper clip before I rappel down and then pull it down from the ground. Having s dual function rope is nice except...
