    Deer are so tough

    So I was hunting opening day of Missouri rifle season Saturday, and about about 20 minutes into the hunt I had a good buck come by with what looked like a huge injury in its body. He was acting normal and injury looked healed, but I couldn’t shot him I keep thinking if he lived through that he...

    Best saddle to pair with the Drey Dryad?

    So I hunted with the Drey the last half of the season and loved it. However, with one sticking it is painful without the hammock deployed. I was wondering what saddle would work well with Drey and not affect it comfort when deployed. I currently have a Kestrel but I think something smaller and...

    Wet rope rappeling

    So I had to rappel with the Safeguard in the rain for the first time. I use the Canyon 9mm rope and after it gets wet rappelling is not smooth, the rope will give a few inches at a time and is really jerky. I have a lot of rappelling experience from the military and it was still pretty weird...

    Over the last few months I have been buying all my gear for one sticking and finally got my ultimate one stick last week. I got a chance to climb for the first time today and it was way easier then I expected. I climbed three trees and by the third it was really easy. If you are thinking about...

    Red dot on Crossbow

    So I got a Scorpyd Death Stalker last year to use when I hunted from the ground and shot a buck at 5 yards in some really thick cover. I kind of struggled finding the buck quickly in the scope. So this year I was thinking about using my Aimpoint pro on the crossbow. I don't think I will ever...

    Using two tethers on the new Merlin

    I know I see many posts about people who are concerned with putting their safety into just one rope. With the new Merlin having two sets of bridge loops it would allow someone to run two completely independent tethers protecting against all potential failures. I personally will continue using...

    Advice on Crossbow

    I am having some shoulder issues this year and looking to hunt with a crossbow. I have practiced with my dads older wicked ridge out the saddle, and had no issues cocking using the foot stirrup or shooting off hand to 40 yards.

    Talk about a quick scare.

    I was hanging 22 feet up this weekend and relaxing through the midday with my knees on the tree and leaning back on my back pad and one of my S-binders on the back pad broke! I only fell back a little bit and was never in danger, but for a second I thought I was falling to my death LOL. Talk...
