    Not Just A Doe Video

    Back in October I was blessed to take a nice doe from the saddle and I got it all on film. Had 3 cameras running and felt like I got some great footage. Started to make the video and just couldn’t do my normal thing. Doe videos are usually considered “just doe videos”. So I thought I’d play on...

    First Tree Saddle Kill

    Last year I got my aero Kestrel Oct 27th...and had to learn it during the rut! I would usually pass on does but I was just excited for my first attempt at a tasty doe. This is just a short pump up video. At some point I may share the full version as this one doesn’t show much of the saddle...

    First Muzzleloader Hunt With Saddle= Success!

    It’s getting late in the season for me and muzzleloader season is on here in Ohio. Decided to go back up to the same spot where I missed my chance on the ten point because I was fiddling with my camera instead of drawing my bow. I thought about doing spot and stalk from the ground but felt it...

    Learned a Lesson

    I’m stubborn at times and it cost me on December 29th. Really been wanting to get another deer and self film it. I messed up on a nice buck 3 weeks ago. Had a beautiful buck step out at 30 yards and I got caught screwing with my camera instead of drawing on him. Ever since then I’ve been wanting...

    WTB FL Obsidian Pants

    Looking for a pair of Obsidian Pants Large (not tall) to go with my new kiln. Fusion would match but I’d entertain Dry Earth or Conifer. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Filming Finally Cost Me

    Missed a good chance today. Had this ten come in perfect and my filming got in the way. Set up overlooking a ridge. He came in from left in front of me. I wasn’t thrilled with where I had placed my Hawk camera arm. I had the base to the left side of the tree but this tree was bigger that I’d...

    Saddle Stealth

    Thanks to the advice you guys gave on my tree spur climb video I’m going up and down the tree very well now. It’s amazing what a little slack in that lineman’s belt will do. Yesterday was pretty sweet. Went up 30 ft in a tree on top of a ridge. Had 3 does cruise the flat below me but it was too...

    First Climb with Tree Spurs

    Switched to the saddle really hoping to become more mobile on the private properties I hunt. I was tired of carrying the climber on my back. So I sold the climber and ordered the Aero Kestrel. I bought a set of 4 Millennium Lite Sticks and 3 WE Stepps for my platform. I certainly lost the pounds...

    First Deer in a Saddle

    Went out with my buddy on Nov 9th to a spot we hadn’t hunted in a long while. Mainly because it’s back in the pines and in years past it was hard to find a tree to get my climber into. But with my new Aero Kestrel that has changed. We set up on a ridge overlooking a valley that leads out to a...

    First Deer In The Saddle

    Doe down! Third attempt with a Aero Kestrel tree saddle. My buddy and I got it all on film and I'll share that later on. My buddy was set up in a tree right next to me with his hang on stand. Doe came in about 4:45 tonight. Had rained most of today and finally let up. I typically would pass on a...
