What do y’all use for your bow hanger on public land?
I ask because in my rush to get into the woods; I have been using a large S-Biner hanging from a gear strap which worked great, until it didn’t.
After the first decent rain since the start of the season I had my first buck sneak up on me and I didn’t notice him until he was 10 yards away. When trying to retrieve my bow, the “clip” was cumbersome and by the time I was able to get my bow free, he blew, and gave me a beautiful view of his splayed tail as he crashed through the understory.
This first season has been an amazing learning opportunity (don’t hunt with your ears after a decent rain) and I’m honestly excited that I was able to read the sign and set up in the right place, so I’m not too torn up that I missed a shot opportunity. I would however like to put some meat in the freezer the next time I see one and my current bow hanger works great for hanging a bow but not for actually using it.
