    Trail camera placement concern

    I set up a camera last year on well used trail on public Land I hunt. In July got some real bruisers on the camera. It was set about 30 yards off of what I suspected as a creek crossing area. I ended up pulling that camera believing I knew they were there so I could hunt this travel trail when...

    How thin of a tree do you hunt? and How?

    An area where I hunt has had the trees thinned out taking a good bit of options from me. Scouting has given me some ideas but the trees are small maybe 6" in diameter. Is your preferred platform a platform or ring of steps? I am relatively small guy so I probably can manage in some smaller trees...

    Setting predator and climbing sticks

    I have been practicing setting my predator using one stick in order to simulate the top of my set. Following G2’s advice on setting the platform to my left. Here is my concern. When climbing I’m trying to make my set with deer travel in mind. So I’m setting my climbing sticks to ascend the...

    How high above final step is your platform?

    I’m playing around with my climbing system trying to develop what I’m comfortable using. I’m going back and forth between using aiders or not. Seems the higher I go the less I like the idea of an aider. Right now I am using four full length Lone Wolf sticks. I have Slomo’s slings on order to...

    Bridge on Kestral

    I saw another saddle hunter posted this as an alternative for a bridge on a Kestral. It is rated at 20kn/4500 lbs. Being new I don’t quite understand what this translates to in safety factor. I love the idea and purchased one if for no other reason to dial in a permanent length on my bridge...
