    Aero Hunter New Saddle

    So I just saw this on FB and it looks a lot like the Evo. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious.

    Book Recommendation

    I recently read this book and really enjoyed it. I mentioned it in an existing discussion, but I found it useful enough that I thought it merited its own thread in the Deer Hunting section. https://www.deadonbook.com/ It's the most complete reference I've ever seen regarding shot...

    RC Harness for SRT

    I climb SRT sometimes and I'm finding that I don't really care for shortening my bridge on my regular saddle and trying to lengthen it again at height. I'm thinking about getting a RC harness to use since it would eliminate that problem and the orientation of the belay loop would work a lot...

    First Archery Hunt of 2020

    Today was the first day I could get out for Archery season. I wasn't expecting much as it's nowhere near rut yet, but weather was going to be nice and I figured at the very least I'd get some more in the field practice. I setup and noticed some unanticipated small trees blocking my anticipated...

    Cord Question

    So I purchased 20 feet of the Bee Line 8mm Prusik Cord by Yale. I plan to cut sections of this for prusik loops. The rope is heat resistant and I asked about it when ordering, they said it was very unlikely I'd be able to melt the ends. I've already gone through several threads here and it...

    Carabiner Comparison

    All, I'm going to be making another tether and need a carabiner for it. I'm comparing the following two: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008KEAYN6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1...

    Qualified Climbing Instruction

    So it's come up repeatedly in other discussions about the importance of safety, critically evaluating the gear you are using, how you're using it vs its intended use, and your methods overall. This got me wondering if there was anywhere you could go for hands on instruction and what you should...

    2019 Helium Mods

    Since people are starting to get their new model Hawk Helium sticks, I thought I'd create a thread to discuss modifications to them. I plan on swapping out the straps for something else. I'm considering either some type of rope or versa strap as I find the buckles on the stock straps...

    First Saddle Hunt

    So yesterday was my first actual hunt from the saddle. It took me a while to get setup since I'm still new to it. My setup consists of a kestrel kit, this year's muddy pro sticks, and a predator platform. I saw several does and a spike in the morning. Midday I decided to switch the side of the...

    First Practice Off the Ground

    So today was my first chance to practice off the ground. My setup is comprised of a kestrel kit, 4 Muddy Pro sticks (2018 version), and a predator platform. I only ended up using 3 sticks since I figured that was high enough for first practice (actually I dropped the 4th one and didn't feel...

    Hello from Indiana

    So I've been mostly lurking here for a few weeks and reading lots of threads. Today I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a Kestrel. I got the kit that comes with a lineman's belt and tree strap. I hunt mostly Southern Indiana on private land and am tired of fighting heavy ladder stands in...
