    First fall

    Typical— in a hurry, trying to get in an evening sit and running late cause of, well, life and adulting stuff. I use a three step moveable aider and three sticks going up, rappel down. First stick wasn’t seating great given bark and tree shape but figured it would seat fully when I started...

    Question about 'entry level' bow and upgrading

    Still pretty new at things, so here goes a 'dumb question': Got back into hunting as an adult in recent years, having hunted as a teen. Bought a Bear Species fully kitted out, some arrows, and a release when I got going, tuned it up at the local shop, and have put a few deer in the freezer...

    Opening day Massachusetts saddle doe

    First saddle kill. Two observations from this hunt: I stopped chasing climbing methods and have a dialed in two stick and moveable aider with rappelling down. Love it. the other is I need to shoot more from my platform at height. I’ve shot a lot from it but not enough weak side, 0600...

    5 WE Steps: let's make a deal!

    I was sure I was gonna love using these with a knaider/swaider set up. I didn't. It's not bad, just not my thing. Can get as high and easier with two sticks and a moveable aider or SRT up a preset. So, time to release 'em back into the wild. Picked these up from Jamie Cline in the fall...

    $40 gamehide Blaze Orange Camo Hush Hide Coat XL

    $40 to your door. Pay pal F&F or you bump the price to cover fees. Catch and release here. Picked this up at a local yard sale last fall and never wore it hunting. Did wear it ice fishing once and it's very WARM, but not a great bowhunting coat, although it's quiet. Missing the hood, but...

    WTS: price drop—Aero Kite Size 2, lineman with Ropeman 1

    New price—$200 This is a catch and release for an Aero kite size 2 (39" to 46" belt size). I don't know the history from owner #1. September 2019 born on date, but plenty of life left in this saddle. I'm 6'5", 240 lb, and a size 38 waist and this saddle was great to get into saddle hunting...

    New SRT'er---it's amazing

    Disclaimer: I'm a new saddle hunter, but not new to ropes, knots, climbing equipment, etc. Granted, it's been many, many years since playing with climbing equipment. I've slowly been acquiring SRT gear to RADS/yo-yo and was dead set on getting any one of the popular capture devices figuring...

    Hawk Helium Mini attachment for one sticking?

    I've scoured the web and forums trying to find the definitive answer (knowing to some degree it is personal preference) and noting I've not yet tried one sticking but want to do so. What do folks prefer for attachment (hawk or otherwise) for one sticking? Amsteel daisy chain? Cam...

    Advice needed: Wicked crowded woods!

    Caveat: First year hunting in NE Mass. I've had the woods pretty much to myself since opening day and now, it's gone sideways. I'm hunting three different small (30-50 acre) private spots with permission, but there have been a TON of people scouting and a few stands put up in the past 10...

    Bucks only moving after shooting hours?

    I'm a new hunter and have been really excited about the rut; however, I'm seeing nothing during the day lately. Plenty of bucks and does in the area I hunt, confirmed by trail cams. I've been really cautious about wind lately thinking maybe I've been getting busted. Any thoughts or advice...

    Learning the hard way: Can't hunt without your arrows (you can't make this up)

    Massachusetts is a blue law state, so Saturday is usually the only day I hunt. Look forward to it all week. This past weekend was the first time I had all my gear really tuned and ready as this is my first season in a saddle, having gotten some hawk helium minis that I put aiders on and...

    Fixed vs. adjustable bridge?

    Just got a used aero kite. It’s awesome. Been out in the yard getting comfortable, seeing how to move, change positions, etc. it came with a fixed bridge but see a lot of newer saddles with adjustable. Can someone outline pros and cons? Seems like another way to adjust could be good for...
