    Muzzleloader - No exit wound/little blood

    Hey All, for all the muzzleloader hunters out there.. I just killed a buck yesterday.. He was quartered away, so I shot a bit back on the deer. When I got down from the tree I saw a lot of blood where he was shot.. but not much after. Ended up finding him by walking to where I saw him run, and...

    Montana 2D decoys/Deer Scent

    Hey all, Already got a buck this year early season. Now with the rut coming up I thought it might be fun to get out there and try a setup or two with these Buck/doe Montana decoys I bought a while back. I also took the tarsal gland from the buck shot, and took out some wax from his interdigital...

    Deer cart recommendations

    Hey yall, This past week I killed the biggest buck I've ever taken... I was 2.5 miles deep in the woods, and the terrain to get out was hilly, thick, rocky, and littered with logs and other obstacles. I use a Chapelle jet sled, and normally that works just fine, but this drag took me 4 hours to...

    The best (and cheapest) Saddle backpack

    I've been looking for the ideal saddle backpack for some time now. I wanted something mid/small sized, with plenty of molle and straps to put extra pouches, sticks, platforms, etc. I wanted a waist band, not just a chest strap, and I wanted that waist band to have molle on it as well. This would...

    End of the year reflections (Gear & Strategy)

    One of my best seasons this year in terms of deer killed and deer seen. Just thought I'd rattle off quickly some of my takeaways: Gear: One stick: My first season with a one stick. It was easy. I got as high as I wanted, with practice it was stress free, and I felt safer using a rappel line to...

    Consolation prize - The best death a deer could ever have

    This year on Oct 3 I bagged the biggest buck I ever killed on Rhode Island public land. After that, I decided to stay out of the woods until the end of October and hunt the rut hard. I started on October 28, and I went hard. Everyday a new stand.. I passed a lot of deer, waiting for a giant. On...

    Bowmar

    Just seeing the news that the bowmar team was poaching. Really pisses me off.. when you hunt so hard for years to get on a decent buck on public land, because you’re not rich and famous with your own farm and guides and buddies with farms.., and these guys, millionaires, their own private land...

    My complete molle saddle hunting set up for 2022

    So after 4 seasons saddle hunting, ive refined my pack and gear to the best I’ve ever had it. It’s not the lightest set up, but I believe it gets me to and up my tree as fast, as comfortable, and as quiet as possible with everything I need easily accessible. My setup: Kifaru day pack with a...

    Ironwill and Sirius Orion issue

    Hey all, just to let you know, Ironwill broad heads and sirius Orion arrow outserts are not compatible. After reaching out to each of the companies (who both have been prompt and polite in their response) both of them are blaming the other for the incompatibility. I’m not sure which is the...

    A fawn that stayed where it’s mama died

    i hunt a small piece of private bordering a huge public hiking trail. deer pass thru to hide out when the public park gets busy, and I’ve taken some nice deer from there. Last year a giant nanny doe comes to my stand alone (or so I thought) and I shot her and watched her die in 10 yards … not 1...

    Beginner bow for my fiancé

    Hi all, I took my fiancé to an intro archery class today to see if she’d be interested, hoping that she’d become more understanding of my obsession for sitting in a tree all day. Wouldn’t you know, she absolutely loved it. Now I want to get her a decent, but inexpensive, trad bow that she can...

    First Decent Deer on camera (Spring 22)

    Did some scouting on a remote piece of public last week. Found some nice deer trails, made a mock scrape, and put up a cell camera. A few days later I saw this guy on the mock scrape. Boy did this get me pumped up. He looks nice and fat :)

    Idea for platform

    Hear me out.. I was sitting on an old lawn chair yesterday and I thought… why don’t they make a saddle Platform or even a tree stand with the same concept. Minimal steel/aluminum frame with webbing as a place to stand and support weight. This could even be made to fold up even smaller since the...

This year I was sitting with my back against a stone wall and a deer literally walked up 5 feet behind the wall I was sitting at.. I...
