    Ladder Stick Modification...

    Do not do it Fletch. Buy the sticks that come in 32" sections and don't nest together, but work independently. I got these at rural king on clearance a few years ago for half the price. I use them at the top of a 20ft section of sticks for added height, but they would be perfect for this...

    I don't often splurge, but I splurged: new pack

    Excellent, thanks for the pictures. I know you are a saddle hunter now, but how do you feel this pack would work for a guy that would want to carry good sized hang on between the frame and the pack? Right now, the properties I hunt allow me to have sticks and receivers up where all I need to...

    Fall Restraint and Lowering System

    With hunting harnesses, the actual tether that's attached to the harness is the part that is designed to absorb the shock of the fall. The stitched folds in the tether are designed to come unstitched absorbing the shock, and reducing the strain of a fall. Hence the reason you should retire a...

    I don't often splurge, but I splurged: new pack

    I'm glad you shared this post Jeff. I've been looking for a while for the perfect pack for how I like to hunt, and it seems like a frame pack fits my needs more than any other. I hadn't considered the Kuiu stuff, but I will definitely check it out. Would you care to show the interior pockets...

    Lithium batteries

    Lithiums have a consistent voltage output from 100% battery life to nearly zero %, hence the reason they read 100% until almost the very end. Alkaline batteries start at maximum voltage, and slowly drop off after every picture, and this is why you slowly see the battery % drop with Alkaline...

    Looking to buy a drop spreader, anyone seen one around?

    Hey fellas. I'm on the hunt for an eight or ten foot pull behind lime drop spreader similar to the one pictures below. I've been watching Facebook and Craigslist, but so far, most have been a 4+hr drive, or more $$$ than I'm really looking to spend. I know these are a little hard to find, but if...

    The Great Trail Cam Mystery.....

    Somebody took a look at your camera pictures bro. That's the only way you will get those pics in the middle ofa string of pictures. The door was opened and card was pulled

    2020 Strouds. F*** Covid, f*** antifa, f*** lockdown, Strouds is happening. Like death and taxes.

    I need to make it back up to Strouds this year! I'm working nights starting Friday, but I may venture up that way Thursday and stick around until work Friday.

    1023's Seasonal Exploits - 2020 Edition

    Thanks for the information Jesse. I've read a ton about it, but it's just not the same as speaking with someone who's done what your trying to do in SE Ohio, in areas less than ideal for food plotting. Last question, and I promise I'll leave it be. Are you buying mixed seed from one of these...

    2019-nCoV (Coronavirus)

    Glad to hear the parents and brother are doing well Brock. Guy at work is 65 and just lost his dad, age 88. Someone brought covid to the viewing, and now, he and his wife have covid, both his daughters, as well as his 87 year old mother. His mother is on a ventilator now, and they have...

    1023's Seasonal Exploits - 2020 Edition

    Looks good Jesse. I've gotta get my butt in gear if I'm gonna do some plots this year. Brush hogging this week, and hoping to spray over long break. I have a harrow you are more than welcome to use any time, that's why I bought one. Question on the plots, do you or have you ever spread any...

    2019-nCoV (Coronavirus)

    The thing you have to keep in mind is that on unemployment, you only receive a percentage of your actual working income, and there is a maximum to what they pay out. Depending on what you do make, that extra $600 may not make up what you are losing by being unemployed due to the current economic...

    Barronett Blinds

    I've had a 350, wasn't impressed with the material and construction. The ox 5 and pentagon are ridiculously roomy, and are of a much higher quality. I would recommend checking them out.

    2019-nCoV (Coronavirus)

    I spoke with a local physician I went to school with and asked her if it was possible it went around late last year/earlier this year, as we had some pretty nasty stuff hit us last month. She said it's always possible, but if it did, they didn't see the influx of really sick people in the ERs in...

    Central Ohio taxidermist

    Never had a deer done by him, but I've seen his work and it's too notch. https://m.facebook.com/pages/category/Taxidermist/Derry-Null-Taxidermy-574389412588310/

    Climbing stand vs climbing sticks

    An to answer the OP, as others said, it depends on the situation, and if going mobile, boils down to weight and flexability, IMO. I've got 130 acres, and I have a dozen pre-hung setups. I use generic 20' sections of sticks, and hang a Millennium Receiver. These are in spots I know will...
