    66" longbow and saddle hunting

    I appreciate all the responses. I suppose it comes down to practice and making sure I'm clear of obstacles. -Jeremy

    66" longbow and saddle hunting

    I have a thethrd mantis, one of the originals. I'm not confident enough to remove my bridge and weave an adjustable one. How do you adjust your bridge?

    66" longbow and saddle hunting

    Is it me or does it seem more difficult with a longer bow out of a saddle? I have a 58" longbow that I've killed with out of my saddle. I'd love to take my 66" longbow and wood arrows out this fall. But man, it seems like that extra 8" is going to make things more difficult. Anyone have any...

    Is Ashby's #1 goal flawed?

    I didn't read all 5 pages of this discussion so maybe I'm repeating some previous points made. If I'm understanding you and you're question, you're taking one of his 12 factors and saying it's not that relevant. I believe all the factors go hand in hand and play off of each other. For example...

    Illinois Chain-O-Lakes SP & a hunter named Brandon

    Well shoot, I live in Round Lake. We're all closer than we think. Jakhammer, I have neighbor you may know. Mauro Tomassetti lives across from me now. He's a big duck hunter and I think he may have mentioned your club to me.

    Illinois Chain-O-Lakes SP & a hunter named Brandon

    So the chain is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday for pheasant hunting. Unfortunately we can't shoot the left overs. I've had 3 very healthy roosters walk under me this year. Anyway, yes dogs. So that really changes things. I often feel going Wednesday or Thursday is a better option. I feel...

    Illinois Chain-O-Lakes SP & a hunter named Brandon

    Hey Jerry, I've hunted there three times this year. Two sits I saw deer but not close enough to shoot at. After the first week, week and a half, it gets more tough for sure. Most the bucks get shot early and after that the dogs on the weekends and shotgun season put a hurting on any sort of...

    Success!

    I was able to make a clean shot on this little guy. I wanted his momma but he wandered a little too close before she ever offered me a shot. First deer out of a saddle. Super stoked over this one. -Jeremy

    Illinois Chain-O-Lakes SP & a hunter named Brandon

    I've had similar encounters as well. I just pray I shoot a deer while they're watching, lol. I guess we have the option to be the change or be mad. I choose to be the change. As easy as set up is with a mantis I'm half inclined to move if someone set up near me. Just shimmy down and move...

    Illinois Chain-O-Lakes SP & a hunter named Brandon

    There's deer for sure. In fact the other day when I was there a hunter was checking in his third deer. From what I understand there aren't as many as before due to the state baiting/shooting after the season. But, it's a place to hunt, has deer and turkey, and is close to home. So I don't...

    Would you let it slide?

    I'd at least notify the authorities myself. I'm tired of the "just leave it and move on" mentality. I'd go find other spot to hunt yes, I'd let some one with authority over that jurisdiction know yes. Society needs to be held accountable. I had a situation where a guy drove his truck down...

    Illinois Chain-O-Lakes SP & a hunter named Brandon

    I hope this post finds this gentleman... Yesterday I hunted the above mentioned Illinois State Park. It's a rather large park with lots of room to roam. However it's one of the only "first come, first serve" areas in the NE part of Illinois. The other state land is permit driven. Therefor...

    Help! Forgot which is the tether and which is the lineman belt

    Thanks for the help gentlemen! @Hatchet Jack I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. I'll take it is sarcasm as it made me laugh! -Jeremy

    Help! Forgot which is the tether and which is the lineman belt

    The title says it all. I'm not sure it really matters but I've got the Tethrd Mantis and the two ropes that came with it are both green/black. One has a smaller loop than the other. I've been using the smaller looped rope as the tether. But while I was hanging out waiting on a deer the other...

    Hang Time hats, hoodies and tee shirts

    Not to sound ungrateful, or elitist, but any hang time gear with a recurve or longbow? Just wondering. -Jeremy

    Bow holder what cha using?

    I sewed up a strap like G2 Outdoors has. I retired some ratchet straps and used that. I then sewed it up with some ice fishing line that came off a real when it had to replaced. I'll also be using that foldable clip, hero clip?, this fall. I hunt public and can't screw into the tree. Here's...
