    LIVE from the saddle 2023

    1st time in this spot this season. Public land Ohio. Had our 1st good frost this morning but couldn’t get out. Transition between swamp, old clear cut bedding, and oak flat with good feeding sign. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How's the Pre-Rut going in Your Area?

    NE OH here. Lots of scrapes and rubs in the last 7 to 10 days, but it appears to be almost all happening at night. Some small bucks are getting active but not seeing the bigger boys yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wild edge stepp lovers

    I’ve been using wild edge steps on 90% of my hunts since 2019. I carry 5 in a bag then use a gen 1 perch I keep mounted on another step. I’m using the knaider/ swaider still. Once you get the climbing system down it’s hard to go to something else. I have access to a couple other stick brands...

    Ohio Youth Turkey Success

    Yes, he will. I shot a similar bird a few years back and haven’t topped it since. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ohio Youth Turkey Success

    My brother took a youth hunter out for his first bird yesterday afternoon. It’s a public land spot we’re pretty familiar with so we know where the birds roost. Also I had put up a cell cam a week ago and knew the birds were walking down this gas well drive on a daily basis. About 9 hens and the...

    Illinois HB 4386--passed rifles

    Ohio did the same thing a few years ago. I still use a muzzleloader for gun season but most people switched to the various straight walled calibers. .45-70, .350 Legend, and .450 Bushmaster seem to be the most popular choices. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Saddlepalooza '22

    Hope you guys have a great weekend. I just couldn’t convince myself to make the long drive solo. If nothing else, I was looking forward to getting into some Georgia temps. Meanwhile there is blowing snow and 12° wind chill here in Ohio. [emoji3063] Hope you guys slay the piggies though. Sent...

    Wild Edge Berserker Opinion

    I picked up one of these saddles yesterday at the show in Harrisburg. I actually did a sit in it tonight for the last day of Ohio archery. I’ve been using an Aerohunter Kestrel since 2018. They are selling the Berserker at the show for $225 which is $50 off online pricing. I am not a person...

    Saddlepalooza '22

    I’m hoping the Ohio boys can make it there this year again. It’s a little up in the air because my brother might have something else going on that weekend. I would still like to come even if I were solo but that long drive is not something I would want to pull off by myself. Sent from my...

    First Saddle Kill

    The drag was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be. Good thing it was only about 300 yards. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    First Saddle Kill

    It’s been a rough couple years. I’ve had some self inflicted issues (target panic) that led to poor form and some rushed shots. Anyway, we’ve had at least 15” of snow for about 2 weeks, and temps have struggled to get over 20°. A week ago I picked up 80 pounds of a deer feed mixture at a local...

    Saddlepalooza 2021

    Grilled up the last of the pork loin last night. Got about 15 pounds of sausage made up as well. First time eating wild hog and I’m a big fan. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Saddlepalooza 2021

    Wish I lived closer, I’d like to do more hog hunting. If the rivers have receded by then, I’d check out the river bottoms as well. Also if you find a green field with fresh sign those can be good the last hour of daylight. Last year quite a few pigs were killed on fields. I struck out on them...

    My brother seen 9, I only saw 1. He missed one Friday night, so he definitely had more action than anyone. F-2 was a good spot this year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The Mercy Seat

    Dang, you put a hurting on the pigs there. Just sitting on a travel route? We just got back from Fort Stewart with a 95 pound sow. These Ohio boys got no experience with preparing wild piggies. What’s your preferred method for eating one that size? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Saddlepalooza 2021

    Ohio boys are headed home now. Robbie (my brother) shot one last night while still hunting in the pine woods. It ran into the thick stuff and was cold last night so we decided to wait till morning to look. Found blood right away then found it quick. Only went about 30-40 yards. 95 pound female...

    Trying to leave that white stuff behind. Looks like it’ll take a couple states south to get away from it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
