    Anyone use a ladder stand AND a saddle?

    I own and hunt my own farm. I am a big fan of the JX-3 and have used it alot. I was thinking about setting up a few ladder stands around my property to serve as just a climbing method and platform for my JX-3. Just so I can get in and out super quiet but still hunt with the JX-3. Has anyone...

    Deer Chasing Lows

    I once had a camera in the woods for three months. I went in at noon to pull the card. A really big buck jumped up...he was bedding not 10 feet from the cam. From the looks of the bed, he'd been there for a while. I didn't have a single pic of him on cam.

    Who has removed leg straps? Any regrets?

    You Western Oregonians are TOUGH. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW! You should just hang with one arm and use your knees to hang on when you're ready to draw back. I agree with you...anyone else worried about falling is a pu$$!

    Who has removed leg straps? Any regrets?

    Man, there was a great video a guy did on here who doesn't use leg straps. He slipped and fell and got turned upside down which he blamed on no leg straps...it was a close call for sure. It was a really informative video....search for it before you do that. Found it...

    Newbie to food plotting

    Have you done a soil test? If not, you're really hoping to get lucky. Do a soil test and apply the correct amount of lime as soon as you can. If you also need a lot of fertilizer, I'd recommend doing conventional tillage (and tilling in the lime and fertilizer) for your first crop and then...

    How are you getting deer in your truck when solo?

    I have a jet sled which lives in my truck bed to organize gear. When I get a deer I use it to drag the deer out. Bring it to the truck and use a foldable ATV ramp to just pull it in.

    Evolution of the ultralight stands

    Maybe a climber that folds in on itself to reduce bulk? With climber being your stand AND climbing system it can weigh more and still be better....it's the bulk that's the issue imho

    AITA/negative encounter.

    No. You're not the a$$hole. The fact that it upsets you that he's mad shows you're not an a$$hole. A$$holes don't care what others think. I had a similar issue on a lease I shared with a guy. He put ladder stands in all the good spots and I hunted from a saddle. He said he had no problem...

    8 pointer with the JX-3

    Someone else mentioned this to me. I think there is some merit to it....When he ran and stopped its almost like he was just trying to find out where the sound of my bow came from...he didn't even seem to know he was shot.

    8 pointer with the JX-3

    This is in SE PA. There must be some weird genetics in the area...I see some crazy looking bucks. I had some pics of him on the hoof. I'm not real good at aging but my guess is 3.5 y/o

    8 pointer with the JX-3

    With the hot weather I haven't been seeing much this season. Went out yesterday and got to my tree around 330p. Around 430 deer started coming by... yearling bucks and does. They were all around me for an hour which was starting to stress me out. A doe must have winded me and started blowing...

    Worst invasive species in North America

    How about those bugs that killed / are killing all the ash trees? I think there will soon be no more ash trees at all. Doesn't seem to be anything that could be done about it.

    bear prevention

    I hunt in black bear country. They're pretty timid overall...but I've heard that woof when heading out of the woods in the dark at its made my stomach drop. In PA, a sidearm is allowed, but I always carry spray...I'm just not that good of a marksman with a pistol. Spray for me....biggest can...

    How to "drop" a deer

    With a gun, I've had really good results with the high shoulder shot. B2 or so. I've had every deer I shot there just drop...not a single step. Probably 5 or so....esp if they are quartering a bit.

    Backing up your set up

    This is my method of backing up. But before I get into the specifics, I want to give my "philosophy" on backing up. I only use climbing rated equipment (ropes and connections). I feel there is actually zero (or nearly zero) chance of a real actual equipment failure. I'm backing up because of the...

    Compounds vs Crossbows in a saddle

    I've hunted with a xbow for the last 2 years. I have a Ravin and it's no issue. But, I do think the ones with wider limbs would be harder. Not impossible, but more to think about when you're going through a shot (making sure limbs clear). The R10 is like 6 inches cocked and 10 uncocked. So...

    8mm or 11mm - Ropeman 1 or Kong Duck

    I've used 8mm oplux with a kong for 2 years now. It works great. I've tried prussik plus tender and it sometimes jams up on me. I like the kong. I've heard bad things about ropeman 2 chewing up rope, but never tried it.

    What's your dumbest injury?

    Cut my left thumb tendon field dressing a buck last season. Had to get surgery to re-attach tendon. Thumb is basically 90% now but it took a long time. It's amazing how hard it is w/o a thumb, even your lefty. Details...
