    Opening Day Blackpowder Double

    I had an epic day yesterday for our ML opener here in Florida. I had been watching several good bucks all week and was just praying they would do the same thing one more morning. Couldn’t get out and hunt them during week due an inconvenience called work. These are good bucks for this area of...

    Tennessee Velvet Hunt

    My brother was able to get it done last night for the velvet hunt. I am so happy for him. We didn’t have this hunt when I lived there and I’ve been pulling for him every year to get one. He was standing in the tobacco barn on our family land and made a 35 yard shot into the field in the...

    Losing a great friend today

    His name is Pepper. My wife and I have been trying to save his life for almost 2 weeks now. He was diagnosed with a Heptacellular Carsinoma tumor on his liver that had ruptured. The surgery wasn’t going to be easy but we elected to try as a successful surgery and recovery could’ve meant...

    Trophyline Venatic Saddle

    Anyone heard any specific information on this saddle. The teaser pic doesn’t really show much but I’ll look it over when it drops.

    Old Florida warrior

    Killed this guy yesterday morning. Saw 5 different bucks and 3 does by 745. I saw a much better deer last Sunday but couldn’t get on him. When this dude came into the flat I was sitting 2 younger bucks left like their a** was on fire. He walked right to me like he owned the place. He’s...

    Spots getting timbered.

    The lease I’m on in NE Florida is set to be “thinned” this year. They are starting in two weeks which is prime time for rut in our area. Sent out the map this morning and both of my spots are on the list. I understand it’s part of the deal but right in the middle of the rut is just extremely...

    Double step not fitting on tube.

    I had a friend of mine order 6 double steps to build him a set of sticks and the slot is just a hair to small to fit the tube. 1” slot on 1” tube. Bolt may pull it in but it’ll be close. Anyone else experience this.

    Saddle Pistol and Pigs

    We have a pig problem on my lease so I decided today was a good day to try my new pistol out. I bought the gun about a month ago and got it all setup and dialed in. Work has been crazy and I just started a new project this week so before we really get rolling on the 6 day work schedule I gave...

    New Centaur

    Just received my new Centaur yesterday and am blown away with how well I shoot it compared to my other longbow. It just points so effortlessly and accurately. I have been trad for only a year so I’m no expert by any stretch of the words but this thing is something else. 62” 50#@28” Juniper and...

    First hunt from a saddle.

    The 17 pounded some medulla yesterday. Sat 3.5 hours and learned a lot about making my setup comfortable.

    Finally complete

    Was finally able to put my buddies 16 Illinois buck on the base I built for him. He’s had the base for couple months now waiting on his taxi to finish the mount. 17 months but the guy did a good job on it. I’m pretty anal about stuff but couldn’t find anything that would upset me if it was my...

    Finally some quality time with my Kestrel

    Well since turkey season is over in Florida now I finally got some time to hang for an extended period of time today after work. I had tested tether and bridge length previously and found what I liked best at ground level. Today I took my new sticks based on Bowhunter15 design and my Dave aider...

    Recommend biner for Ropeman 1?

    I’m getting ready to place order for all my lineman and tether ropes and hardware and am wondering what you guys that run a Ropeman on your lineman use for your biner. I’m going use Bluewater Assault for my lineman and tether. I’ll use a prussic or Blake’s hitch on tether but wanna run the...
