    Deer Stand Names

    I always get a good chuckle when I hear some of the names we give deer stands or deer spots we hunt. At our deer camp we have named several stands so everyone knows where everyone is going to be sitting. Some stands names are a result of a screw up or for some stupid reason. Examples: 2 Beers...

    Quiver on quiver off??

    I usually take my quivers off in my stand. I practice my shooting without the quiver. I'm wondering if a guy should leave it on for both practice and hunting. I'm thinking it would be a lot less dinkin around on stand taking it off and hanging up. I'm shooting trad and compounds. What you all...

    Thinking of dumping all cameras.

    Not that cameras aren’t cool and make it easier seeing what’s on the menu. Thing is, seemed to be more exciting to see a deer that you never new was there before cameras came along. There are pros and cons here for sure but it seemed like I used to get more satisfaction just reading sign, like...

    Ever used string trackers?

    I’ve used them years ago. Mixed results. What’s your take? Trads-Compounds? What’s your experience? Turkeys? Deer? Hogs?

    Ratchets or OCB

    I use a ratchet for my two pioneer ROS or some DIY ROS that I use. Never have used OCB buckles or straps. Will OCB get ROS tight enough around the tree? Your good help appreciated.

    Using saddle in a gun stand.

    I never have used a saddle in a traditional hang on gun stand. Would you just loosen your tether and turn around to sit when you need to sit? It’s gun season opener this Saturday. Bow hunted with saddle but first time gunning.

    Advice on headlamps

    Thoughts on a good headlamp. Seldom use a light going in or out morning or night. Tripped and fell on my ass coming out tonight. I’m ok just always felt a light would spook deer ( falling down surly spooked them..lol Heard red light doesn’t spook them. I need some advice on a good light setup.

    Has hunting made you a better person?

    I think hunting has made me a better person because of an appreciation of nature. Working toward a goal. Camaraderie. And for me…story telling and sharing the experience with others that love our sport. I think that’s what makes me a better person. What about you?

    Bowhunting in the rain?

    Your feelings about bowhunting in the rain. I’ve done it… don’t like doing it. I understand deer often move well during rain drizzle and it may be the only time you have the opportunity to hunt. Like to hear your thoughts.

    EDP slice and dice

    I'd Like to make the EDP platform (now a DIY 1 stick) fold flat for carrying. If I cut the two pieces out (pictured) will it compromise the platform strength too much? I appreciate your ideas. Thanks

    Worst buck fever moment!

    We have all had them … don’t lie. It can be embarrassing but also fun to laugh about “NOW” to fellow hunters. Let’s go bros!!

    Is this safe?
