    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...

    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...

    Bolts as a Perm Set Up

    I purchased a property recently. I was planning on setting up a bunch of pre-sets this offseason. When I've had access to a property where I can do presets in the past, I usually used el-cheapo heavy metal sticks and put them up in July/Aug and take down in Feb/March each year. I take them...

    MD buck from the JX 3 at ground level

    Hunted a field edge spot last night in MD. I was going to just sit on the ground under a tree in my JX-3 but there was a slight dip in the field and I really didn't have a good view from on the ground. So, I just found a tree and hooked up at ground level with my JX-3. Sitting up in the air...

    Funny MD buck story

    Not a saddle buck... Got into a field edge blind at about 130p. Around 315, a bird comes under the blind. I have those mesh windows up so it can't get out. It starts FREAKING OUT. Then it starts ramming into my head and I start freaking out. Eventually I get one of the windows open and...

    Extending JX-3 Lineman's Loops

    I have an older JX-3 and I extended my lineman's loops by simply inserting two amsteel loops into the existing lineman's loops and girth hitching them. It works and helps me get hooked up around my belly. But the amsteel loops don't really stay open so sometimes its a bit of a struggle to get...

    Another safety reminder!

    Got a nice 8 pointer on Friday. JX3 + Crossbow. 17 yard shot. Double lung went 75 yards. I was field dressing him and it was real hot out and I was rushing. In the last part, where you're reaching inside to grab and cut the esophagus, I cut my left thumb bad. I clinched my hand...

    Bow shot placement app

    I got this for $4 on my phone. Pretty good app. You set up your bow speed, pins, etc. Then you can set it up to serve up random animals (whitetail and other) at different distances and orientations. It will tell you what vitals you got and give you a 3d arrow path.

    Nothing makes you feel dumber...

    Then trying to thread an OCB buckle on a strap....esp when you're already at height. It makes me feel like its a rubik's cube for morons and I'm the moron. :)

    JX3 xbow/gun rest idea

    If you dont use a JX3 or only use it with a vertical, this wont apply to you. I am a xbow+gun hunter and almost exclusively hunt in the JX3. I usually find a way to rest my arms or elbows on the webbing or bridge to steady a shot. It works better than totally offhand...but I was thinking of...

    Muzzy warning / reminder

    I had a scary incident last year when sighting in my muzzy. Safety reminder..... YOU HAVE TO TAKE OUT AND CLEAN THE FIRING PIN FROM TIME TO TIME. I was very good about cleaning my barrel, breach plug and within the action area after each shooting session. But, I rarely actually removed the...

    JX-3 Info for New Users

    Last year was my first using the JX-3. After a year using it, I thought I'd give a write up of my "system". There are a million ways to use this thing, but I thought this might be helpful for new guys using the hybrid that don't know where to start. I'm not claiming anything here is the best...

    A mix of cranford steps

    $50 TYD. Pay Pal F&F or you pay fees. I don't use these anymore and I hate to see equipment sitting in my garage unused. It's a mix of crandford steps. None ever left in the woods. Just used from time to time: 1. 4 of the rope steps (one missing the rope). 2. 3 of the EZ climb that...

    Treehopper Bolt Questions

    I have access to private land where I can drill trees. I was planning on buying a bulk order of treehopper bolts and doing a ton of presets (both to climb and as a ROS). I have a few questions: 1. Any issue with the basic bolts rusting. I'm going to leave them all season. I dont care if...

    Tried Sou Vide

    I always sucked at Venison roasts. Steaks, loins, burger were all fine but my roasts were always pretty bad. I tried Sou Vide. For those of you who dont know about it, it's a super easy way to have perfectly cooked meats by boiling in a vacuum sealed bag. Google it. Pretty hard to mess up. I...
