    Too Popular?

    Interesting to see this. Definitely more players in the saddle making game today but we also lost one of the OG makers (Aerohunter). I still have to explain to most what I am talking about with a saddle but most of my friends don't even hunt. I've seen a few celebrity hunters use them, but I...

    My old Alice pack medium

    I'll be the negative Nancy here. I have one, upgraded with straps, lumbar and some other mods. I believe it's the "hellcat" mod. The thing looks cool and is certainly bullet-proof. The problem for me is the pack is much heavier than most modern packs and the frame keeps the pack quite a ways...

    Shrike Webbing Tree Strap?

    Thanks for the replies. Will likely stick with the rope. Maybe I can get some splicing done (instead of the big loop knots) to reduce the bulk.

    Shrike Webbing Tree Strap?

    I have a Kestrel Flex (upgraded) that I am very happy with. However, my version is all Predator rope for the lineman's, bridge, and tree strap. It gets a little bulky, especially with all those knots. Thinking of getting a webbing tree strap like what is offered with the Shrike. I might want...

    Carrying handgun while in saddle

    Same. Although sometimes IWB depending on whether I am carrying my Colt or Walther.

    Bored Vrs Discomfort

    I bring a book or a Nook (reading tablet, they were all the rage a few years ago. . .) and read once it gets light enough. I know that I can miss out with my head down, but if it helps me stay in the saddle I figure it's worth it.

    Problems with OnX?

    I have been using the OnX for a few years now and have been pretty happy. It helps a great deal with my planning of both hunts and fishing. I use OnX on both my phone and home computer to plot out waypoints and tracks to follow. My problem is that the most recent update to the online (via...

    Need a longer strap for Hawk Heliums

    Thanks, this looks like the solution. I know I can just go with amsteel but I prefer the straps. I like the way they lay and they tie down very secure.

    Need a longer strap for Hawk Heliums

    Hi, I am running the 20" Hawk Helium 4-pack, no modifications except I removed the buckles and just use the supplied straps buckle-less. I have found it to be very secure and easy to set up. But on my last hunt, the tree I planned to hunt was a no-go because the base of the tree was too big...

    Coyotes... Shoot or pass?

    I find it interesting that the sometimes the most ethical deer hunter will have no problem taking any shot at a coyote or hog, I guess the idea being that they are somehow inherently evil. From what I have read, shooting the occasional coyote does nothing to reduce the overall population (just...

    Looking for discount code to D.i.c.k.s sporting goods

    Politics aside, you might find that D!cks no longer carries anything hunting related. Every store in my area (Northern VA) completely dropped all firearms and hunting equipment. Not a big loss except for me that leaves just Wally world and one crappy Cabela's in my area.

    Best strap option for Treehopper ROS?

    Thanks to all for the info. Picked up a strap and OCB from EWO (Treehopper needs to put theirs on their website) and a few other cool things I didn't really need.

    Best strap option for Treehopper ROS?

    Finally decided on a ROS. For my budget the Treehopper Strap on Steps seems the best new option. They don't come with a strap. What is my best option? Thanks in advance.

    Onx app worth it?

    Is it worth it? Yes. Can it be improved? Absolutely. I actually use it much more for fishing since river access can be a challenge at times. Overall the updates, off-line map downloading, and simplicity is pretty good. As others have said, a lot of work needs to be done to improve the...

    Aero Hunter Merlin ordered

    No more red inside the loops? Was there a visibility (to deer?) issue?

    Hunting scope - 1st time buyer

    I think the advice you have read online (2.5-5X for deep woods) is pretty good. I tend to think most over scope their rifles in terms of power. For a given price point, you will get better quality glass at lower magnifications which translates to better clarity in low light. Lower power...

    Hunting Knifes lets talk

    I have a custom Anza knife. The handle is antler from my first deer. It's a cool knife but I have lost it twice during field dressing in the woods, requiring me to borrow a metal detector both times to find it. I am thinking of painting it bright orange.

    Rope Mod for Helium Sticks?

    Could you explain the buckle-less method? I've a set of four 20" on the way and would like to do something that makes the buckles unnecessary.

    Muzzy warning / reminder

    There are significant differences between muzzleloader brands/models and depending on what powder you use, this may or may not be an issue. I have had a TC Omega for about 15 years, shooting only Blackhorn 209 powder. I have never had a crud build up in the barrel, primer, or firing pin...

    Let's talk UV: bought a $19 light and made an interesting find

    Guys, the only point I was attempting to make is the idea that that we are not glowing in the dark the way those pics show. I remember a hunting specific detergent company (before most brands offered dye/perfume free versions of their products) that sold a little pen light to demonstrate the...
