    Bow setup - setup Akron/Canton area

    Finally was able to scrape up enough pennies to get my hands on a carbon Hoyt rx3 ultra (albeit used). I'm currently in process of switching all my goodies off my old set up over to it and building a new set of arrows (had to change spines because of dif draw weight), but then I'm going to be in...

    Leather Knife Sheath

    Wasn't sure where to post this question, but this area seemed halfway reasonable. Does anyone on here do leather work? I have a fixed blade knife I am quite fond of (and spent a grip of money on), but I'm not in love with the sheath. I'm kicking around having a custom sheath made for it. I'd...

    Safety Single favorite/most useful piece of gear

    Walking in to the stand today I got thinking about all the gear I've purchased over the years. Seems like every season I make a small upgrade or swap something out. Thought it might be fun to throw out the question if you had to recommend one piece of gear for the new would be hunter to invest...

    Climbing stand vs climbing sticks

    Sorry if this topic has been addressed already somewhere (I poked around a bit but didn't see it). I'm curious what folks prefer in regard to climbing stands versus climbing sticks and a strap on stand. A little background on my setup and spot, I hunt private land and part of the deal is I leave...

    Gunsmith Suggestions

    Bought a new pistol and am scrapping the factory sights. I don't have the tools to drift out the rear and don't particularly want to make a mess of things trying. Can anyone recommend a spot in the Akron/Canton area that could swap my sights out for me. I have the new sights just need someone to...

    Cold toes

    Seems like every time I'm out in the woods, successful hunt or not, I learn something that I can do differently to make the next time out more successful or enjoyable. Many of those things have been on the apparel front for staying warm out in the cold. Over the years I've managed to get my gear...

    Food and drink in the woods?

    I'm always super reluctant taking anything to eat or drink (sans water) due to trying to minimize scent when bowhunting. By the end of a day in a stand I'm fixing to fall over from hunger and there are points where I'd trade my bow for a cup of coffee. Just curious what everyone else does for...

    Pot call suggestions

    Hey all. Ive only ever hunted with a box and mouth tab, but I'm thinking about picking up a pot call this year. I've messed around with a cheap one and I'd like to get something a little nicer quality. Kicking around a zink power hen or a duel call. Would appreciate any input anyone has on...

    FOR SALE Trade duck decoys for turkey decoys

    I do more turkey hunting than waterfowl hunting so seeing if anyone out there has some nice turkey decoys (dave smith, zink, etc ) that they'd be interested in trading me for my duck decoys. All have new lines and weights. Come with carrying bags.

    45/70 barrel length?

    Fin is running a decent special on Marlin 45/70's and I'm thinking about picking one up for deer season. They have an 18.5" and a 22" barrel priced the same and I'm debating between the 2. In my head shorter is more mobile but longer increased accuracy. Any suggestions?

    FOR SALE FS/FT 16ft deep v duck blind boat

    Selling my 16ft deep v duck blind boat. I hate to sell but with family and work obligations I just don't have much time for it anymore. Was setting it up to hunt Nimisila which is an electric only reservoir so I have a new minn kota endurance 55 motor for it that has never seen the water. The...
