    Need a lighter platform

    Not sure if I posted an update to this, but I ended up buying a mini seeker. I've been out with it 3 or 4 times and so far I'm loving it. Super light, and the angled front really does make a big difference. I also picked up some rigid arch insoles, like steel shanks, for my boots, which also...

    Good Luck New Hampshire hangers!

    Nah.. saw a couple fawns on Friday but that's been it lately. Did see a couple new scrapes pop up though. Most of my camera activity is at night, but have had some early morning pics here and there.

    Need a lighter platform

    The mini Seeker arrived a few days ago. Haven't had it out yet, only set up in the yard, but man is it light! Just big enough to be comfortable on, the angled front is awesome, and it's so lightweight that I hardly notice it in my pack. Running a TL Platow pack, with a tetherd predator pack up...

    Good Luck New Hampshire hangers!

    Same here in the Lakes Region. Raining acorns.. Haven't done too many sits yet, but so far I've seen a couple does, a fawn, and a fork horn. And probably 30 turkeys.

    Need a lighter platform

    I picked up some insoles to try in my Danners (I love those damn boots.. can't give em up). The insoles have a rigid center similar to a steel shank boot, with padding on top (naturally). The balls of my feet get pretty sore, and these have pretty good padding and support for that area too so...

    Helium Versa Button Bolts, Versa Aider

    I'm 6' 225 lbs, but geared up, definitely more than that. I've been using these sticks for a few years now with no issues. They're cut down full length heliums. I was just concerned about adding that extra stress directly to the button and bolt with this new to me versa aider.

    Helium Versa Button Bolts, Versa Aider

    Going to be trying out the Versa Aider this year with my Hawk Heliums. The versa button itself on the Heliums seems stout enough, but I was thinking that maybe it's a good idea to swap out the bolts with some grade 8 hardware. I've been using a movable aider that simply loops over the top...

    Old School LW Alphas and Sticks

    I've got a couple of the old school lone wolf alpha stands and a set of their climbing sticks that I never use anymore. One of em was my main mobile setup for quite a while, worked very well. Since I never use this stuff, I was thinking of offloading it. Is there any market at all for this stuff?

    Need a lighter platform

    I struggle being comfortable in the saddle. I'll shift from leaning, standing to sitting. Each position brings its own unique discomfort. My feet feel it the most while leaning or standing obviously. Sitting is ok for a few minutes, but my knee doesn't like being pressed up against a tree for...

    Need a lighter platform

    My feet give me a hard time regularly. I have difficulty standing for long periods of time. My feet just throb. And my right knee has had more work done than Nancy Pelosi's face so... yeah.

    Need a lighter platform

    Great feedback, thank you guys. While not the platform I want per say, I did manage to locate a used EDP. Smaller and lighter than my Mission, but no angle to it. Solves the weight issue, but not necessarily the foot pain issue. Although, I don't even know for sure if a Seeker or an Onyx would...

    Need a lighter platform

    As the title says, I need a lighter platform. Right now, I've been running a Mission platform, which I like a lot, but she's got some weight to her. I have problems with sore feet a lot so I was eyeing a Seeker or the new Onyx, but both are sold out or back ordered. The idea of the...

    School me on pre-sets

    Awesome info guys, thank you. You've given me some great ideas to use next summer!

    School me on pre-sets

    Yes that's the idea, eliminating the climbing method and the platform as well. Super quick, nothing to carry in except my saddle, weapon, and stuff for the hunt.

    School me on pre-sets

    I plan to do my pre-sets on private land, both my own land and another piece I have permission to hunt. I've currently got a good half dozen stands on that piece already and they've never been messed with, so I'd be fine with leaving some sticks out there. I'll still go with the hang and bang...

    School me on pre-sets

    Good points on using the lifelines as a tether.. probably not a good idea. Toting my tether in is nothing, so no big deal. I'm thinking I just use the climbing stick sets I have, and maybe get a couple cheap platforms for a couple/few sets and use a ROS or something similar on others. What I...
