    Beal Birdie?

    With the Madrock Safeguard apparently being discontinued I am looking for an alternative to use to get into rappelling out of the tree. Looking at a beal birdie. Anyone used this particular one with good luck?

    Newbie Elk Trip Planning?

    A buddy and I have decided that we’ve talked and dreamed about it long enough. We’re going somewhere next year and chasing elk. I figured it best to go ahead and start planning (and getting my fat butt in shape) now. So here’s what I’m hoping someone can help me with. I don’t know where or how...

    ST Vincent Island FL

    Got tags for the January primitive weapons whitetail hunt on St Vincent Island. How would you go about setting up on an island in the gulf? Island is roughly 11k acres of sand dunes, marshes, and strips of slash pine and scrub oaks. I know I’ll need to key in on the oaks but I’ve never hunted...

    DIY Hydrodipping?

    Anyone ever camo dipped their own gun? I'm looking into ordering a DIY dip kit to do my turkey gun with and was wondering if anyone has had any experience/pointers with them.

    Boots?

    I'm about to pull the trigger on some new non insulated boots for early season deer and turkey hunting. Leaning really hard towards Crispi or Kenetrek as I want a good solid boot that is going to remain waterproof and last a very long time. Any input on these two brands or suggestions on others?

    Need help with a game plan

    I will be hunting this block of limited access public land (special draw permit) in the end of January. I will be inside the red and will have the whole area to myself for the weekend. This will be prime time middle of the rut for this particular area. I have hunted this block once before so I...

    Got a nice cat this weekend

    Had this big tom come slipping through where I was bow hunting over the weekend. He was about 100yds out when I saw him and I squeaked him into about 30yds for the shot. I've trapped a bunch of them over the years but this is the first one that I have ever taken with a bow. I skinned him out and...

    Food or water?

    Scouted a place Saturday that has a very large creek running through it. But it has been so dry that the 2 miles of creek that I walked only had a half dozen small potholes of water in it that have tracks all in them. I also found some pretty good oaks that the deer have been hitting. If it...

    How would you tackle this area?

    Got drawn for one of Alabama's special opportunity hunts this year. the way it works is you get drawn for an SOA on a specific hunt date and you are given a 300-500 acre section to hunt for the weekend. I've gotten drawn before and had some success but this years section is new to me. I've never...

    WTT VertX EDC Gamut for hunting pack

    Anyone interested in trading a nice hunting pack for a tactical pack? I've got a VertX EDC Gamut all black that comes with a VertX tactigami universal holster and three tactigami mag pouches.

    Wild Edge Refund?

    Anyone ever cancelled a pending order with Wild Edge? Wondering how much of a pain it is to get money refunded from them. Really thinking about cancelling my stepps and ordering some Heliums since season is fast approaching and my WE order is still probably 6+ weeks out.

    Tried bolts today

    Still waiting on my saddle, ropes, and wild edge steps to get here but in the meantime I bought an EZ-kut drill and bolts to try out. Today was my first go at them and this is what I’ve learned so far... 1. Don’t do it mid day because it’s hot as a mother in middle alabama right now. It looked...

    Thoughts on this area?

    This is a +/- 150 acre tract that I have been hunting since I was a kid. It was cut in 1995 and is still pretty thick in most places with somewhat open hardwood draws running through it. I wanted to post this picture and compare how you guys would suggest hunting it vs how I've always hunted it...

    Newbie from Bama

    Been eyeballing this whole saddle hunting thing for a couple of years now. Finally, after a lot of research and finding this forum, I broke down and ordered a Mantis, some WE steps, and a knaider/swaider. Hopefully I can get it all in and together before our season opens up in Oct. I hunt a good...
