    Outfitter Spartanforge, is anyone using it and what is your opinion?

    Hunting season (archery) opened up here in the Sandhills last weekend and I was out with my bow. Didn’t see a hair but had trespassers to chase off right around sunset. But that is a different story…. Has anyone signed up at the above mentioned AI source for deer movement prediction, and if so...

    JRB climbing method…

    While a LWHC is my preferred climbing method for the land I’m hunting here in the Sandhills, I’m playing with alternative methods this off-season. One of them is the above mentioned. Has anyone else tried it out and if so, how is it going for you?

    ...learning lessons about deer and weather!

    I took the dog out to our usual spot down in the woods with open field, pond and a dam. With the time change, we're making it out there just around first light. Since Sunday, I have seen deer every morning, which was not the case since January. To the point today: I have heard so many "old and...

    Question about Otters...

    I'm hunting a private property with two lakes, separated by a dam, one with higher water level than the other. The overflow is regulated by 3 drain pipes. It is a constant battle to keep the pipes free of debris, branches, floating gras and other stuff. The big challenge are the critters in the...

    Opening day!

    Good luck to all who are heading out this morning. I got up at 4:30 and poked my head out of the door. It’s too humid here in the Sandhills to climb a tree... I’ll pass. Forecast looks great for Wednesday. Maybe I’ll change my mind for an afternoon climb if it will be more comfortable.

    Crossbow recommendation?

    For the last two hunting seasons, I borrowed a crossbow from my friend, switching to gun as soon as the season would open up. A new lease allows shotgun or archery only, so I'm looking into purchasing one. Here my question: Can anyone of you share your experience with a crossbow package from...

    Fawns late in the year

    Those two guys showed up with their mother about two weeks ago in our neighborhood. Since about a week, they are without their mother but seem to do well, even without nursing. The picture was taken on Sunday. Found a third one yesterday morning roadside, just hit by a car but still alive...

    Urban hunting opportunity in Virginia available

    Last weekend, I was spending time with family, including some folks from Virginia. They live in an established community setting at Smith Mountain Lake and have a deer problem. The community is welcoming archery hunters to reduce the herds. Anybody interested? It's too far for me as it is about...

    Is this the new trick to get around?

    Last night, I was at one of our many golf courses we have in town. Watching the 18th hole, fairway and green, something caught my eye. Two golfers came up the fairway on rather unusual vehicles for a golf course. Electric scooters with fat tires, designed to have the golf bag between the legs...

    Tethrd Teach-N-Train

    I'm just coming back from the Dixie Deer Classic in Raleigh and was thrilled to meet Greg and Carl at the Tethrd booth. Man was it busy there and the guys were working hard to answer all those questions people had. The place was humming like a bee hive. Also had a chance to sit in the new...

    I'm heading to Raleigh on Saturday, 2.29.20, trying to be there when they open up. According to Tethrd website, there will be a Teach-N-Train event on site. Does anyone have more information about that?

    Question for all JX3 Hybrid hunters

    For all of you using the JX3, how well is it working with the LWHC for climbing and rappelling for coming down. I just watched again the video from DIY Sportsman about her saddle, but he's using sticks. I like my LWHC and rappel line and wonder if/how well it works. Thanks for any thoughts...

    4th day in a saddle this season, 1st buck down

    I skipped work today, thinking a bad day hunting is still better than a good day at work. And work got on my nerves the last couple of days. I was all set by 8:30 and ready for a lunch break at 11:15 when this pretty 6 pointer walked up. He had no idea I was there. It was my new property, I...

    Climber Stirrups for LW hand climber?

    Ever since playing with the hand climber and sattle, I’m wondering if rapid climber stirrups such as the Summit Rapid Climb Treestand Stirrups would work. Anybody tried it, doing it? Could I ask for some feedback please? Thanks

    RCH vs HSH...?

    Before really getting into saddle hunting, I got a Hunter Safety Harness to increase the comfort level while hunting on lean on stands, mostly when hunting as a guest from a stand I did not hang my self. Always felt comfortable and safe. It even has lineman’s belt loops. Reading through all...
