    Awesome job, guys, way to grind it out! I'm jealous you're still out there getting some time in the tree.

    Curious about snow movement

    I really like the two days before the snow hits. I find that when I wait till just before or during, the deer are often already hunkered down. Lots of variables here, but just my general observation.

    Brick and Mortar Saddle Hunting Stores

    That's too bad. Always hate to see a business close it's doors, but especially mom and pop outdoors related businesses.

    Brick and Mortar Saddle Hunting Stores

    I'd be surprised if Beyond the Ears didn't have any saddle stuff. Not sure where you're at in SE MI, but Jays Sporting Goods in Clare might not be too far of a drive*. *I'm up in the tip of the mitt and everything south of bay city and east of 127 is SE MI to me.

    bridge - Rope vs Amsteel

    I'm a big fan of adjustable webbing bridges. They're strong, slide well through the 'biner and are super easy to adjust.

    I'm still thinking I'm done for the year, though I may get out once or twice more to do some early spring scouting. We are having some unseasonably warm weather in northern Michigan, snow is gone in a lot of places and it feels wrong not to take advantage of it tonsee what I can learn for next...

    Go to stealth strip pattern?

    I went with the smoke on my one stick, blends in pretty well. If I had to pick only one, though, I'd go with strata.

    Ball compass unreliability

    I'm gonna say the thing you're never supposed to say :D. I don't carry a compass anymore, took it out of my pack for the first time in 20 years before this season. My phone works just fine and since I started using my phone to navigate 6 years ago, I've never had an issue with a battery dying...

    EWO one stick upgrades or silencing

    I started by going with the new EWO cam cleat, its a little quieter than the harken style. I also stealth stripped the post. No plans to do anything else.

    Well, the snow didn't bring the movement I was hoping for, but it brought enough for me to get two doe's this morning. Still hunted my way downwind of a good doe bedding area. Found a tree and was barely set up when the first one popped over the next ridge over at about 75yds. While it was...

    Good luck everyone who is out this morning and Happy Thanksgiving! I am staying home today but have the next 5 days off, pretty confident I will fill at least a doe tag or two. I gave half of the meat from my 8pt to a family friend who is on hard times right now so I'd really like to get two...

    favorite deer jerky seasoning mix or from scratch recipe?

    This is my favorite jerky recipe. I replace the jalapeños with habaneros for a little extra spice, but the Jalapeño version is still pretty good. https://heygrillhey.com/dr-pepper-jalapeno-beef-jerky/
